Mashup Score: 1$11 billion US hepatitis C elimination plan proposed - 1 year(s) ago
On March 9, 2023, US President Joseph Biden’s administration proposed an US$11 billion, 5-year national hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination programme. If passed by Congress, the ambitious plan aims to speed US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval of rapid point-of-care RNA testing and to dramatically expand access to screening, direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment, and monitoring.

Mashup Score: 1Non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis - 1 year(s) ago
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent form of chronic liver disease that poses challenges in diagnosis and risk stratification. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the more progressive form of NAFLD, is particularly challenging to diagnose in the absence of histology. Liver biopsy is infrequently performed due to its invasive nature, potential for sampling error, and…

Mashup Score: 2The economic burden of inflammatory bowel disease - 1 year(s) ago
Globally, the burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing. Although the incidence of IBD in many western countries appears to be stabilising, it remains high (eg, around 50 cases per 100 000 in northern Denmark in 2020), and as an incurable, chronic condition set against a backdrop of ageing populations, prevalence is rising. Data from Lothian, Scotland, for instance, suggest that…

Mashup Score: 2Management of inflammatory bowel diseases in older adults - 1 year(s) ago
The burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in older adults (ie, aged over 60 years old) is increasing due to a combination of an ageing population with compounding prevalence of IBD and increasing incidence of elderly-onset (ie, onset over the age of 60 years) IBD. Despite the increasing prevalence of IBD, there is a paucity of evidence on which to base management of older adults with IBD,…

The burden of inflammatory bowel disease in older adults is increasing. However, evidence on which to base management is lacking, leading to variable care. A paper in @LancetGastroHep aims to aid understanding while highlighting knowledge gaps: https://t.co/G0TLLKQHFS https://t.co/OI8oyjzmob

Mashup Score: 0
Alcohol-specific deaths (encompassing those deaths that are a direct consequence of alcohol, such as alcohol-related liver disease) in the UK have taken an extremely concerning turn, with the Office for National Statistics reporting 9641 such deaths in 2021—the highest on record and a 27·4% increase since 2019 (n=7565).1 This number of deaths reflects alcohol consumption trends since the…

Mashup Score: 0Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on endoscopic surveillance in Lynch syndrome in the Netherlands - 1 year(s) ago
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered global disruptions to health care, including endoscopy practice.1,2 The consequences of these disruptions on care for individuals with Lynch syndrome, who require surveillance endoscopy every 2 years because of increased colorectal cancer risk, are unknown. We aimed to quantify the effects of the early and late phases of the COVID-19 pandemic on endoscopy practice…

Mashup Score: 0Diagnosis of fatty liver in children should occur in parallel to investigation for other causes of liver disease - 1 year(s) ago
Fatty liver is the most common chronic liver disease in European children. Historically, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) evolved as a diagnosis of exclusion, in which the presence of hepatic steatosis (with or without inflammation and fibrosis) in the absence of an alternative cause (particularly alcohol) led to the diagnosis of NAFLD. Hepatic steatosis has long been recognised as a…
