Population-based studies that estimate awareness of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the United States are scant. We aimed to understand public NAFLD and its temporal trends. Our study included 11,700 adults (18+ years old) from five National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys (2007-2016). was determined by improved Fatty Liver Index for multiethnic U.S. population (US-FLI) absence secondary causes disease. Overall prevalence NAFLD, hepatitis C virus, B virus were 36.6%, 1.02%...
Although nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with obesity, it can also occur in lean and metabolically normal individuals. Our aim was to determine the effect of different combinations abdominal adiposity overall on mortality NAFLD. The Third National Health Nutrition Examination Survey data from Death Index were used. NAFLD defined as steatosis without other diseases. Body composition categorized according waist circumference (WC) body mass index (BMI). Obesity pattern...
Understanding the burden of NAFLD among adolescents and young adults has become increasingly relevant. Our aim was to estimate prevalence in United States. Data were obtained from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2007‐2016. Adolescents aged 12 29 years included. determined by U.S. Fatty Liver Index absence secondary causes liver disease, differences trends analyzed based on age, gender, race. Complete data available for 4,654 (mean age 21 years; 50.9% male; 56.8% White, 20.9%...
There is a paucity of recent data about the epidemiology and long-term outcomes nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in female population. Our aim was to assess prevalence, risk factors, mortality NAFLD adults United States. Data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III NHANES 1999-2014 were used. status determined by U.S. Fatty Liver Index (US-FLI) absence other diseases excessive alcohol consumption. The prevalence rates, 5-year all-cause cardiovascular women with...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation (LT). Although LT associated with dyslipidemia, particularly atherogenic lipoprotein subparticles, the impact these subparticles on CVD-related events unknown. Therefore, aim current study was to evaluate small dense (sdLDL-C) low-density (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-C) CVD events. Prospectively enrolled patients (N = 130) had detailed lipid profile consisting traditional parameters sdLDL-C...
Abstract Background & Aims aMAP score, as a hepatocellular carcinoma risk is proven to be associated with the degree of chronic hepatitis B‐related liver fibrosis. We aimed evaluate ability score for metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic disease (MASLD; formerly NAFLD)‐related fibrosis diagnosis and establish machine‐learning (ML) model improve diagnostic performance. Methods A total 946 biopsy‐proved MASLD patients from China United States were included in analysis. The...
Lactobacilli are commensal anaerobic gram-positive rod organisms that normal flora of the oral, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal tracts. Lactobacillus rhamnosus is now commonly found in probiotics. They rarely pathogenic, but occasional cases bacteremia associated endocarditis have been noted patients with pre-disposing factors. We describe a case an otherwise healthy patient probiotic use gingival laceration present accompanying discussion potential association formulations containing...
Background. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation (LT). Serum adiponectin levels inversely correlate with CVD-related outcomes, but the relationship between hypoadiponectinemia CVD LT unknown. Thus, aim present study was to prospectively evaluate this in recipients (LTR). Methods. LTR were enrolled (N = 130) January 1, 2012, 2014. Baseline drawn at enrollment patients followed for events. Hypoadiponectinemia defined as serum...
Combining bioclinical parameters with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) has improved the diagnostic performance of vibration‐controlled transient elastography (VCTE) for detection advanced fibrosis in patients chronic disease. However, this approach not yet been tested transplantation (LT) recipients. Thus, aim study was to evaluate combining LSM‐based scores LSM alone LT Adult recipients a biopsy, VCTE, and clinical data necessary construct models (FibroScan‐AST [FAST], AGILE‐3+, AGILE‐4)...
Vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) based liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is an excellent 'rule-out' test for advanced hepatic fibrosis in transplant (LT) recipients, however, its ability to 'rule-in' the disease suboptimal. The study aimed improve diagnostic performance of LSM LT recipients. Adult recipients with a biopsy and VCTE were included (N = 150). Sequential covering analysis was performed create rules identify patients at low or high risk (stage 3–4). Advanced...
Abstract To evaluate the efficacy of systemic ifosfamide, cisplatin (CDDP) combination as first line treatment followed by intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy with carboplatin (CBCDA) and etoposide consolidation in patients stage III IV epithelial ovarian cancer. A total 40 cancer were entered into study. Ifosfamide 1 glm 2 plus mesna was given six hour infusion daily for days CDDP 75 mglm on day seven. Patients completing cycles therapy underwent second look laparotomy four IP CBCDA 300 200 ....
Oesophageal lichen planus (ELP) is an uncommon presentation of mucocutaneous planus. Due to its rare nature, it can often be misdiagnosed. As such, there a significant delay between symptom onset and diagnosis. ELP drastically reduces quality life secondary the severe dysphagia odynophagia that typically accompany this pathogenesis. Additionally, important diagnose in timely manner as increases risk squamous cell carcinoma, with reported cases malignant transformation. More research needed...
