CAQ Corner: Surgical evaluation for liver transplantation
Asish C. Misra, Juliet Emamaullee – 15 May 2022 – The evaluation of a liver transplantation candidate is a complex and detailed process that in many cases must be done in an expedited manner because of the critically ill status of some patients with end‐stage liver disease. It involves great effort from and the collaboration of multiple disciplines, and during the evaluation several studies and interventions are performed to assess and potentially prepare a patient for liver transplant. Here we review the liver transplantation evaluation from a surgical perspective.
Combination of tofogliflozin and pioglitazone for NAFLD: Extension to the ToPiND randomized controlled trial
Masato Yoneda, Takashi Kobayashi, Yasushi Honda, Yuji Ogawa, Takaomi Kessoku, Kento Imajo, Asako Nogami, Masataka Taguri, Hiroyuki Kirikoshi, Satoru Saito, Atsushi Nakajima – 15 May 2022 – The incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has recently increased and is related to obesity and the associated surge in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndromes. This trial follows up on our previous work and forms part of the ToPiND study. We aimed to combine tofogliflozin and pioglitazone treatment for hepatic steatosis in patients with NAFLD and T2DM.
