    In patients with decompensated cirrhosis, sarcopenia and frailty are prevalent. Although several definitions exist for these terms, in the field of hepatology, sarcopenia has commonly been defined as loss of muscle mass, and frailty has been broadly defined as the phenotypic manifestation of the loss of muscle function. Prompt recognition and accurate assessment of these conditions are critical…

    In many countries worldwide, the burden of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is increasing. Preventive strategies are needed to counteract this trend. In this review, we provide an overview of the evidence on preventive strategies in NAFLD-associated HCC. We consider the impact of lifestyle factors…

    Mounting evidence implicates the Hippo downstream effectors Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We investigated the functional contribution of YAP and/or TAZ during c-MYC induced liver tumor development.

    Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a relatively frequent event in patients with cirrhosis. Different risk factors for PVT have been reported, such as decreased portal flow velocity (PBFV) and parameters related with severity of portal hypertension. However, most of these studies are retrospective and only a discrete number of parameters potentially implicated in PVT development were evaluated.The…
