Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are an existing treatment option for patients with insulin-resistant states, which elicit further pleiotropic effects related to immune cell recruitment and vascular inflammation. GLP-1 downregulate the cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147) receptor, one several receptors SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that mediate viral infection host cells. Methods: We conducted open-label prospective safety tolerability study including biomarker responses...

We report a case series of four patients diagnosed with COVID-19-associated secondary sclerosing cholangitis (SSC), recently described rare late complication severe COVID-19. Following prolonged stays in the intensive care unit, these developed marked sustained cholestasis and jaundice despite clinical improvement. Cholangiography showed beaded appearance intra-hepatic bile ducts casts were removed one patient. None reached normalization liver enzymes at least progressed to cirrhosis...
The association of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection with positive autoantibodies and autoimmune features has been known for decades. However, to date, very few cases clinical (AIH) have reported in HDV infection, most them being the context treatment peginterferon.

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection is the most severe form of viral hepatitis. Genotype 1 (HDV-1) by far prevalent in Europe and globally, while HDV-5 predominates Western Africa. Data about HDV seroprevalence Portugal are scarce genotyping studies have not been performed yet. We aimed to assess genotypes a large cohort HBsAg-positive patients followed our Hepatology Unit between 2012 2022.

Walled-off necrosis (WON) is a potentially lethal late complication of acute pancreatitis (AP) and occurs in less than 10% AP cases. It can be located or outside the pancreas. When infected, mortality rate increases reach 100% if collection not drained. Its treatment complex includes, at beginning, intravenous antibiotics, which permit sepsis control delay therapeutic intervention, like drainage. Nowadays, minimally invasive approach advised. Depending on location collection, computed...
