The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio appeared to distinguish between acute orbital infectious disease and noninfectious inflammation and may aid in clinical intervention, according to a study in Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
“The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a relatively new biomarker that measures the relative roles of the innate (via neutrophils) and adaptive
At 15 years of follow-up, metabolic surgery “was not only safe” but also significantly reduced major adverse liver outcomes and decompensation in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis and compensated cirrhosis.“Previous studies suggested excellent clinical outcomes in patients with MASH and fibrosis stages 1 to 3 with improvement in both cardiac and
Researchers identified bile duct dysplasia or cancer in most explanted livers with an indication of biliary dysplasia, although as many as 41% had no signs of neoplasia, according to a study of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis. “Primary sclerosing cholangitis, in short PSC, is one of the leading causes of liver transplantation in the Nordic countries with a high risk of
WASHINGTON — Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists significantly reduced alanine aminotransferase levels in pediatric metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, especially those with type 2 diabetes, researchers reported.
“The study was prompted by my interest in the use of anti-obesity medications in the treatment of MASLD,” Jennifer A. Panganiban, MD,
Elafibranor sustained biochemical response through week 78 in patients with primary biliary cholangitis and has a “potential beneficial effect” on itch-related quality of life, according to late-breaking data presented at EASL Congress.“There is a major unmet need for a primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) treatment that effectively targets the biochemical indicators of disease
