Liver Diseases in the Perinatal Period: Interactions Between Mother and Infant

Samar H. Ibrahim, Maureen M. Jonas, Sarah A. Taylor, Luz Helena Gutierrez Sanchez, Jaqueline L. Wolf, Shikha S. Sundaram – 10 January 2020 – Liver diseases affecting the mother and infant dyad may present in the perinatal period from 20 weeks of gestation to 28 days of life. This review will focus on the current approach to neonatal acute liver failure and the progress made in the diagnosis and management of gestational alloimmune liver disease. It will highlight mother‐to‐child transmission of viral hepatitis, both management and public health implications.

Applying Machine Learning in Liver Disease and Transplantation: A Comprehensive Review

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.
