Raluca Pais, Alban Redheuil, Philippe Cluzel, Vlad Ratziu, Philippe Giral – 19 August 2018 – Despite a well‐documented increase in the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with steatosis, the relationship among steatosis and atherosclerosis, specific atherosclerotic sites, multiple‐site atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular risk prediction is incompletely understood.

Slim Fourati, Christophe Rodriguez, Christophe Hézode, Alexandre Soulier, Isaac Ruiz, Lila Poiteau, Stéphane Chevaliez, Jean‐Michel Pawlotsky – 19 August 2018 – Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 4 is highly heterogeneous. HCV subtype 4r has been suggested to be less responsive to direct‐acting antiviral (DAA) drug treatment than other genotype 4 subtypes.
Kaveh Hajifathalian, Babak Torabi Sagvand, Arthur J. McCullough – 19 August 2018 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comprises more than two thirds of patients with chronic liver disease in the United States. The effect of alcohol consumption on survival in patients with NAFLD is not clear. We gathered data on National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey participants from 1988 to 2010, and linked them to the National Death Index for follow‐up of their survival. We diagnosed NAFLD based on a previously validated biochemical model (Hepatic Steatosis Index).
Mayank Sharma, Siddharth Singh, Vivek Desai, Vijay H. Shah, Patrick S. Kamath, Mohammad Hassan Murad, Douglas A. Simonetto – 19 August 2018 – We performed a systematic review with network meta‐analysis (NMA) to compare the efficacy of different approaches in primary prevention of esophageal variceal bleeding and overall survival in patients with cirrhosis with large varices. Thirty‐two randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with 3,362 adults with cirrhosis with large esophageal varices and no prior history of bleeding, with a minimum of 12 months of follow‐up, were included.

Fredrik Åberg, Helena Isoniemi, Eero Pukkala, Hannu Jalanko, Allan Rasmussen, Hans H. Storm, Nicolai Schultz, William Bennet, Nils Ekvall, Bo‐Göran Ericzon, Silvia Malenicka, Steinar Tretli, Pål‐Dag Line, Kirsten Muri Boberg, Anniken Østensen, Tom Hemming Karlsen, Arno Nordin – 18 August 2018 – Cancer after liver transplantation (LT) constitutes a threat also for young recipients, but cancer risk factors are usually absent in children and large studies on the cancer risk profile in young LT recipients are scarce.
Ichiro Tamaki, Koichiro Hata, Yusuke Okamura, Yermek Nigmet, Hirofumi Hirao, Toyonari Kubota, Osamu Inamoto, Jiro Kusakabe, Toru Goto, Tetsuya Tajima, Junichi Yoshikawa, Hirokazu Tanaka, Tatsuaki Tsuruyama, Rene H. Tolba, Shinji Uemoto – 18 August 2018 – Cold storage (CS) remains the gold standard for organ preservation worldwide, although it is inevitably associated with ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). Molecular hydrogen (H2) is well known to have antioxidative properties.
George B. McDonald, James W. Freston, James L. Boyer, Laurie D. DeLeve – 18 August 2018 – Treatment of hematological malignancy with antibody‐drug conjugates (ADCs) may cause liver injury. ADCs deliver a toxic moiety into antigen‐expressing tumor cells, but may also injure hepatic sinusoids (sinusoidal obstruction syndrome; SOS).
