The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) has promoted the development of this document on multiparametric ultrasound. Part 2 is a guidance use available tools quantification liver fat content with These are attenuation coefficient, backscatter speed sound. All them raw data ultrasound beam to estimate content. This aim helping reader understanding how they work interpret results. Confounding factors discussed standardized protocol measurement acquisition suggested...
The aims of this study were to evaluate the safety, feasibility and tumour response _irreversible electroporation, a non-thermal ablation technique, for treatment unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. endpoints safety local efficacy. Patients with tumours not amenable radiofrequency _ablation because their vicinity organs vulnerable thermal damage such as bowel or they close large blood vessels that would limit efficacy due heat sink effect treated irreversible electroporation using...
To achieve the World Health Organization hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination targets, it is essential to increase access direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), especially among people who inject drugs (PWID). We aimed determine effectiveness of providing DAAs in primary care, compared with hospital-based specialist care.We randomized PWID HCV attending care sites Australia or New Zealand receive at their site local hospital (standard [SOC]). The outcome was whether treated had a noninferior rate...
Abstract Background/Aims Endoscopic screening for high‐risk gastro‐oesophageal varices ( GOV ) is recommended compensated cirrhotic patients with transient elastography identifying increasing numbers of cirrhosis without portal hypertension. Using liver stiffness measurement LSM ± platelet count, the aim was to develop a simple clinical rule exclude presence in Child–Pugh A cirrhosis. Methods retrospective analysis 71 diagnosed by >13.6 kP a) who underwent gastroscopy conducted....
The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Australia is nearly 1%. In certain well defined groups the far greater, yet an estimated 27% people living with HBV remain undiagnosed. Appropriate screening improves detection, increases opportunity for treatment, and ultimately reduces significant morbidity mortality associated development liver fibrosis hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).This statement highlights important aspects management Australia. There have been recent changes...
Abstract Background & Aims The burden of metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is growing rapidly, as the number older adults globally. However, relatively few studies have been performed evaluating prevalence and risk factors for MASLD in adults. As such, we aimed to identify adults, well sociodemographic, clinical, functional biochemical associations. Methods study population included without a history cardiovascular disease, dementia or independence‐limiting...
Abstract Background and aims The association between fatty liver disease (FLD) cardiovascular (CVD) in an Australian context has yet to be defined. primary aim of this study was investigate the FLD 3-point major adverse events (MACE). Methods This a longitudinal follow-up randomly sampled adult cohort from regional Australia 2001 2003. Baseline covariates included demographic details, anthropometry, health lifestyle data, laboratory tests. Non-alcoholic (NAFLD) metabolic-(dysfunction)...
Objective. Clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) is associated with increased risk of liver disease complications, but its identification requires invasive methods. Liver stiffness (LS) measurement via transient elastography correlates the presence CSPH. We, therefore, evaluated LS as a noninvasive tool in prediction CSPH and hypertensive complications. Material Ninety-five consecutive patients successfully underwent hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) on same day. Recent...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence is rising rapidly in many developed countries. Primary epidemiological data have invariably been derived from cancer registries that are heterogeneous quality and registration methodology; not adopted current clinical diagnostic criteria for HCC still rely on histology classification. We performed the first population‐based study Australia using criteria, hypothesizing may be higher than reported. Incident cases of (defined by American Association...
Objectives: To determine the factors associated with survival of patients hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and effect HCC surveillance on survival. Design, setting participants: Prospective population-based cohort study newly diagnosed in seven tertiary hospitals Melbourne, 1 July 2012 – 30 June 2013. Main outcome measures: Overall (maximum follow-up, 24 months); participation Results: 272 people were incident during period; most common risk hepatitis C virus infection (41%), alcohol-related...
Turmeric is a commonly used oral herbal supplement with purported anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic properties. It promoted as safe, limited reports of severe adverse effects directly related to turmeric thus far in the literature. Herein we report two cases induced hepatitis. These highlight need for physicians be aware patients taking this common potential risks that exist.
Progressive liver fibrosis related to non-alcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD) is associated with all-cause and liver-related mortality. We assessed vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) as a predictor of mortality.Data from patients who underwent VCTE for NAFLD at four large health services in Victoria, Australia between the years 2008 2019 were linked state-wide data registries. Cause death (COD) predictors mortality subsequently analysed using descriptive statistics...

Liver disease frequently complicates cystic fibrosis (CF), with CF liver (CFLD) a leading cause of death. biopsy is rarely performed because the patchy nature disease. Transient elastography can reliably stage via stiffness measurement (LSM).To evaluate LSM as diagnostic tool in adults CFLD.Fifty adult patients were prospectively studied: 25 CFLD and without CFLD. The presence portal hypertension (PHT) was assessed according to strict established criteria based on serial biochemistry...
