Association between antiviral treatment and extrahepatic outcomes in patients with hepatitis C virus infection
Conclusions Antiviral treatment for HCV is associated with improved renal and circulatory outcomes, but unrelated to catastrophic autoimmune diseases.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and incident major adverse cardiovascular events: results from a nationwide histology cohort
Conclusion Compared with matched population controls, patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD had significantly higher incidence of MACE, including IHD, stroke, CHF and CV mortality. Excess risk was evident across all stages of NAFLD and increased with worsening disease severity.

Adiponectin: a relevant player in obesity-related colorectal cancer?
Obesity is a condition characterised by an abnormally elevated mass of body fat. The past decades have seen a dramatic rise in the worldwide incidence of obesity due to lifestyle changes that have led to an overall reduced physical activity and an increase in the intake of excessive and/or highly caloric or processed foods. As a consequence, obesity represents nowadays a major global health concern. In particular, several epidemiological studies have linked obesity to a shortened lifespan due primarily to a higher risk for the development of chronic pathologies that include cardiovascular complications such as high blood p...

Hightlights from this issue
Lumianl GIOverall burden of Helicobacter pylori on mortality H pylori colonisation has been associated with increased risk of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer, and reduced risk of asthma and allergy, while the association with cardiovascular disease and lung cancer is inconsistent. In this issue of Gut, Chen et al report their interesting data on the influence of H pylori on total and category-specific mortality. They conducted prospective cohort analyses in a nationally representative sample of 9895 participants enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANES III) to assess the associat...

Association between Helicobacter pylori and mortality in the NHANES III study
Conclusions Our findings suggest that H pylori has a mixed role in human health, but is not a major risk factor for all-cause mortality.

Optimising the management of cardiovascular comorbidities in NAFLD patients: its time to (re-) act!
With great interest, we have read the recent article by Simon et al,1 reporting a significant association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and incident major adverse cardiovascular events. The authors found that patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD had a significantly higher incidence of ischaemic heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure and death due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), when compared with matched controls. An excess in CVD morbidity and mortality was evident across all stages of NAFLD and increased with worsening disease severity. The authors are to be congratulated for conducting such a ...

Cardiovascular disease risk in paediatric and young adult non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Conclusion Compared with matched population controls, children and young adults with biopsy-proven NAFLD had significantly higher rates of incident MACE, including ischaemic heart disease and congestive heart failure. Research to better characterise cardiovascular risk in children and young adults with NAFLD should be prioritised.
