Geller, Allan Tsung – 5 July 2012 – Despite the high prevalence of fatty liver disease, the safety of liver resection in settings of steatohepatitis (SH) or hepatic steatosis is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to determine whether underlying SH or simple hepatic steatosis increases morbidity after liver resection.

Giovanna Ferraioli, Carmine Tinelli, Barbara Dal Bello, Mabel Zicchetti, Gaetano Filice, Carlo Filice, on behalf of the Liver Fibrosis Study Group – 5 July 2012 – Real‐time shear wave elastography (SWE) is a novel, noninvasive method to assess liver fibrosis by measuring liver stiffness. This single‐center study was conducted to assess the accuracy of SWE in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), in comparison with transient elastography (TE), by using liver biopsy (LB) as the reference standard. Consecutive patients with CHC scheduled for LB by referring physicians were studied.
