Ashley Spann, Angeline Yasodhara, Justin Kang, Kymberly Watt, Bo Wang, Anna Goldenberg, Mamatha Bhat – 6 January 2020 – Machine learning (ML) utilizes artificial intelligence to generate predictive models efficiently and more effectively than conventional methods through detection of hidden patterns within large data sets. With this in mind, there are several areas within hepatology where these methods can be applied. In this review, we examine the literature pertaining to machine learning in hepatology and liver transplant medicine.

Carla W. Brady – 6 January 2020 – Liver disease in pregnancy may present as a disorder that is unique to pregnancy or as an acute or chronic liver disease occurring coincidentally in pregnancy. Hepatic diseases that are unique to pregnancy include hyperemesis gravidarum; preeclampsia/eclampsia; the syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets; intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy; and acute fatty liver of pregnancy.

Stefan Stender, Vlad G. Zaha, Craig R. Malloy, Jessica Sudderth, Ralph J. DeBerardinis, Jae Mo Park – 4 January 2020 – Carbon‐13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) following oral intake of 13C‐labeled glucose is the gold standard for imaging glycogen metabolism in humans. However, the temporal resolution of previous studies has been >13 minutes. Here, we describe a high‐sensitivity 13C MRS method for imaging hepatic glycogen synthesis with a temporal resolution of 1 minute or less.

Wentao Wang, Chun Yang, Kai Zhu, Li Yang, Ying Ding, Rongkui Luo, Shuo Zhu, Caizhong Chen, Wei Sun, Mengsu Zeng, Sheng‐Xiang Rao – 4 January 2020 – Small recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can show atypical imaging patterns, and a specific diagnostic algorithm for HCC is lacking. This study aimed to better characterize postoperative recurrent HCCs <20 mm in size with gadoxetic acid–enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We evaluated 373 newly developed nodules after hepatectomy in 204 HCC patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
