Ruling-in and Ruling-out Significant Fibrosis and Cirrhosis in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Using a Shear Wave Measurement Method. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

Aims: To prospectively assess the cutoff values of a point shear wave measurement (SWM) method for ruling-in and ruling-out significant fibrosis and cirrhosis using transient elastography (TE) as the reference standard.

Method: Consecutive patients with chronic hepatitis C were enrolled. Liver stiffness was assessed with the SWM method implemented on the HI VISION Ascendus ultrasound system (Hitachi Ltd, Japan) and with the TE method of the FibroScan® device (Echosens, France). For staging significant fibrosis (F>/=2) and cirrhosis (F=4) we used the TE cutoffs of 7.0 and 12.0 kiloPascal (kPa), respectively. The diagnostic performance of SWM was assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve. Cutoffs with specificity or sensitivity > 90% were chosen to rule-in or rule-out F>/=2 and F=4.

Results: 445 individuals [235 males, 210 females; mean age, 61.1 (13.3) years] were studied: 190 (42.7%) individuals had F0-F1 fibrosis stage, 82 (18.4%) F2, 46 (10.3%) F3, and 127 (28.6%) F4 fibrosis stage. For ruling-in F>/=2 the SWM cutoff was 6.78 kPa [sensitivity, 76.9%(70.6-82.4); specificity, 90.3% (85.0-94.3)] and for ruling-out it was 5.55 kPa [sensitivity, 90.6% (85.8-94.1); specificity, 72.2% (64.9-78.6)]. For ruling-in F=4 the SWM cutoff was 9.15 kPa [sensitivity, 83.3% (74.4-90.2); specificity, 90.1% (86.0-93.2)] and for ruling-out it was 8.41 kPa [sensitivity, 90.6% (82.9-95.6); specificity, 82.2% (77.3-86.4)]. AUROCs were 0.92 (0.89-0.94) for F>/=2 and 0.94 (0.91-0.96) for F=4.

Conclusions: In clinical practice, the use of a dual cutoff of SWM may increase the confidence in staging liver fibrosis with a non-invasive shear wave elastography technique.

Vapour pressure deficit (VPD) is a primary determinant of stomatal behaviour and water balance in plants. With increasing global temperature, the accompanying rise in VPD is likely to have a significant impact on the performance of plant species in the future. However, the plasticity of stomatal response to VPD remains largely unexplored.

Background: The relationship between plasmatic fatty acid (FA) composition and liver fibrosis remains scarce in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). We aimed to evaluate the association of plasmatic FAs and liver fibrosis in HIV mono-infected individuals.

Methods: This case-control study included PLWHA with liver fibrosis (cases) and randomly selected subjects without fibrosis (controls) from the PROSPEC-HIV study (NCT02542020).

Evaporative Morphology Tuning of Conducting Polymer Films Under Controlled Vacuum Conditions.

The evaporation of drops on solid surfaces is a ubiquitous natural phenomenon, and their dynamics play a pivotal role in many biological, environmental, and industrial processes. However, the complexity of the underlying mechanisms has largely confined previous studies to liquid drop evaporation under atmospheric conditions. In this study, the first comprehensive investigation of the evaporation dynamics of conducting polymer-containing drops under controlled vacuum environments is presented.

Acoustic microscopy uses ultra-high frequency (UHF) ultrasound transducers over 80 MHz to perform high-resolution imaging. The pressure output of these transducers is unknown, as commercial calibrated hydrophones can measure pressure for transducers with frequencies only up to 80 MHz. This study used gas vesicle nanostructures (GVs) that collapse at 571 kPa to estimate the pressure of UHF transducers at 40, 80, 200, and 375 MHz.

Background: Measurement noise often leads to inaccurate shear wave phase velocity estimation in ultrasound shear wave elastography. Filtering techniques are commonly used for denoising the shear wavefields. However, these filters are often not sufficient, especially in fatty tissues where the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be very low.
