A controlled study of the association between parental alcoholism and severe child maltreatment--i.e., physical abuse, sexual abuse, or neglect requiring court-ordered removal of the child from the home--reveals a significant overrepresentation of alcoholism in the parent population.

Purpose: Liver disease is associated with a range of extrahepatic complications, which have recently been expanded to include ophthalmic conditions. However, evidence is lacking regarding its impact on primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). This study aimed to investigate whether major liver diseases, including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), alcoholic liver disease (ALD), viral hepatitis, and liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, were associated with POAG.

We have previously reported that high-alcohol-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (HiAlc Kpn) in the gut can cause endo-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Here, we discover that 91.2% of Kpn isolates from pulmonary disease samples also produce excess ethanol, which may be associated with respiratory disease severity.

Background: Previous literature has highlighted that excessive alcohol use (EAU) is directly linked with permanent neurological damage. Studies have also highlighted gradual improvements in heart rate variability (HRV) after cessation of alcohol use. Moreover, chronic alcohol consumption has also been correlated with reduced HRV and an increase in skin conductance (SC) among healthy adults, leading to a combined decline in cognitive performance.

Background/aims: To evaluate the associations between pediatric fatty liver severity, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and magnetic resonance imaging parameters, including total psoas muscle surface area (tPMSA) and paraspinal muscle fat (PMF).

Methods: Children and adolescents who underwent BIA and liver magnetic resonance imaging between September 2022 and November 2023 were included. Linear regression analyses identified predictors of liver proton density fat fraction (PDFF) including BIA parameters, tPMSA, and PMF.

This study investigated the association between NAFLD and liver fibrosis and the ratio of gamma-glutamyl transferase to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (GGT/HDL-C). In this cross-sectional study, we included 4764 subjects who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during 2017-2018. Adjusted multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to evaluate the relationships between GGT/HDL-C levels and NAFLD, fatty liver degree, and liver fibrosis.
