Association Between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Reduced Bone Mineral Density in Children: A Meta‐Analysis

Alessandro Mantovani, Davide Gatti, Giacomo Zoppini, Giuseppe Lippi, Enzo Bonora, Christopher D. Byrne, Valerio Nobili, Giovanni Targher – 31 January 2019 – Recent cross‐sectional studies have examined the association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and bone mineral density (BMD) in children or adolescents, but these have produced conflicting results. We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis of these published studies to quantify the magnitude of the association, if any, between NAFLD and BMD.

A Simple Measure of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Burden Predicts Tumor Recurrence After Liver Transplantation: The Recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma–Initial, Maximum, Last Classification

Philip Vutien, Jennifer Dodge, Kiran M. Bambha, Eric M. Nordstrom, Jane Gralla, Kristen Campbell, Claire Levek, Trevor Nydam, Oren Fix, George Ioannou, Scott W. Biggins – 31 January 2019 – Risk of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (rHCC) after liver transplantation (LT) depends on the pre‐LT HCC burden, tumor behavior, and response to locoregional therapy (LRT). In December 2017, LT priority for HCC was expanded to select patients outside the Milan criteria who respond to LRT.
