Prognostic performance of the two-step clinical care pathway in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
J Hepatol
January 2025
Medical Data Analytics Centre, Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China; State Key Laboratory of Digestive Disease, Institute of Digestive Disease, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China. Electronic address:
Background & Aims: Current guidelines recommend a 2-step approach for risk stratification in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) with Fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) followed by liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) or similar second-line tests. This study aimed to examine to prognostic performance of this approach.
Methods: The VCTE-Prognosis Study was a longitudinal study of patients with MASLD who had undergone VCTE examinations at 16 centres from the US, Europe and Asia with subsequent follow-up for clinical events.
The risk of donor-acquired allergy in solid organ transplant recipients: a systematic review.
Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol
January 2025
Center for Drug Safety and Immunology, Vanderbilt University Medical Centre, Nashville, Tennessee, USA; Institute for Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Murdoch University, Murdoch, Western Australia, Australia.
Background: Donor acquired allergy (DAA) occurs when donors transfer their allergies to recipients through solid organ transplant (SOT). However, the risk of DAA in recipients of organs from allergic donors has not been systematically characterized.
Objective: We sought to synthesize the available evidence on the risk of DAA in SOT recipients.
Association between mixed exposure of non-persistent pesticides and liver fibrosis in the general US population: NHANES 2013-2016.
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf
January 2025
Key Laboratory of Environmental Medicine Engineering, Ministry of Education, School of Public Health, Southeast University, Nanjing 210009, PR China. Electronic address:
People are continually and simultaneously exposed to various non-persistent pesticides as these chemicals are ubiquitously distributed in the environment. Toxicological studies have indicated the associations between non-persistent pesticides and liver fibrosis in vitro and in vivo. However, epidemical study on the deleterious effect of non-persistent pesticides on the risk of liver fibrosis is rather limited.

Ann Clin Biochem
January 2025
Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, NHS Grampian, Aberdeen, Scotland.
Background: International guidelines give greatly varying definitions of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) insufficiency and deficiency. Vitamin D testing is increasing despite 2016 UK guidance for adults advising routine vitamin D supplementation October-March and year-round for high risk groups. A service evaluation of vitamin D testing and biochemical osteomalacia in the North-East of Scotland (57-58°N) could inform definitions and testing guidance.

Front Biosci (Landmark Ed)
January 2025
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401, USA.
Background: Diabetes mellitus is associated with morphological and functional impairment of the heart primarily due to lipid toxicity caused by increased fatty acid metabolism. Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) have been implicated in the metabolism of fatty acids in the liver and skeletal muscles. However, their role in the heart in diabetes remains unclear.
