Published: July 2013

In 1888, Pierre Ménétrier first described the disease that bears his name. Many of the findings he reported then remain accepted features of the disease. Based on studies performed in our laboratory over the past 20 years, we have implicated increased transforming growth factor-α (TGFα) expression and heightened epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activity in the pathogenesis of Ménétrier's disease. Herein, we provide a historical perspective of this rare disorder, review our experience with Ménétrier's disease, and discuss future challenges and opportunities posed by this disorder.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a highly prevalent liver pathology in need of novel pharmacological treatments to complement lifestyle-based interventions. Nuclear receptor agonists have been under scrutiny as potential pharmacological targets and as of today, resmetirom, a thyroid hormone receptor b agonist, is the only approved agent. The dual PPAR α and δ agonist elafibranor has also undergone extensive clinical testing, which reached the phase III clinical trial but failed to demonstrate a beneficial effect on MASLD.

Unlabelled: Transparent and accurate reporting in early phase dose-finding (EPDF) clinical trials is crucial for informing subsequent larger trials. The SPIRIT statement, designed for trial protocol content, does not adequately cover the distinctive features of EPDF trials. Recent findings indicate that the protocol contents in past EPDF trials frequently lacked completeness and clarity.

Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are chronic inflammatory conditions that constitute a significant global health burden due to their prevalence and impact on quality of life. A deeper comprehension of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis pathogenesis has recently led to the emergence of novel classes of biologics targeting the IL-23/Th17 pathway. The specific role of interleukin-12, -23, and -17 in cancer as either promoters or inhibitors is under investigation in various studies.

Background & Aims: Atezolizumab/bevacizumab (A/B) is now a standard first-line treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the optimal second-line regimen is not known. We evaluated real-world treatment patterns and outcomes to investigate factors associated with post-progression survival (PPS).

Methods: In this multicenter, international, retrospective study, we examined clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with advanced HCC who progressed on first-line A/B.

The distinction between choriocarcinoma and residual trophoblastic cell proliferation from a complete hydatidiform mole/invasive mole (CHM/IM) without villi is challenging on curettage materials. We investigated whether SALL4 immunostaining could help differentiate various gestational trophoblastic diseases. Placental site nodules (PSN; n=10), atypical PSN (APSN; n=8), placental site trophoblastic tumors (PSTT; n=9), epithelioid trophoblastic tumors (ETT; n=5), gestational choriocarcinomas (n=31), partial hydatidiform moles (PHM; n=13), CHM/IM (n=47), and nonmolar products of conception (POC) (n=26) were included.
