Comparison of fungal < em > vs < /em > bacterial infections in the medical intensive liver unit: Cause or corollary for high mortality?
CONCLUSION: Mortality was worse among patients with fungal infections, likely attributable to severe ACLF development. Prospective studies examining empiric antifungals in severe ACLF and associations between fungal infections and transplant outcomes are critical.PMID:38577538 | PMC:PMC10989308 | DOI:10.4254/wjh.v16.i3.379 (Source: World Journal of Hepatology)

Lean body mass index is a marker of advanced tumor features in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
CONCLUSION: Lean patients with cirrhosis and HCC present with larger tumors and are more often outside Milan criteria, reflecting cancer related cachexia from delayed diagnosis. Access to care for hepatitis C virus therapy and liver transplantation confer a survival benefit, but not overweight or obese BMI classifications.PMID:38577534 | PMC:PMC10989303 | DOI:10.4254/wjh.v16.i3.393 (Source: World Journal of Hepatology)

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists to treat chronic liver disease: real-world evidence or ambiguity?
Chronic liver diseases are prevalent, particularly among patients with type 2 diabetes, who have a higher incidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and are subject to other liver diseases.1 With no pharmacotherapy for these liver conditions, recent attention was given to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1a) for their effectiveness in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity and in reducing liver enzyme levels and liver fat levels.2 A 72-week, phase II, placebo-controlled randomised trial in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis found that the GLP1...
