nulomatous liver diseases. The prevalence of granulomas on liver biopsy varies from 1% to 15%. They may be an incidental finding in an asymptomatic individual, or they may represent granulomatous hepatitis with potential to progress to liver failure, or in chronic disease, to cirrhosis. This review focuses on pathogenesis, histological features of granulomatous liver diseases, and most common etiologies, knowledge that is essential for timely diagnosis and intervention….

Mashup Score: 27Optimal Prescribing of Statins to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease - 4 month(s) ago
Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in the United States and worldwide. Most of this disease is preventable with improvement of lifestyle and medication to reduce circulating cholesterol. The most common medications prescribed to reduce cholesterol are statins, which inhibit the hepatic enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, the limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. Unfortunately, statins are rarely prescribed correctly, resulting in excessive adverse events and very poor patient compliance.

Mashup Score: 14Suboptimal diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound and CT for... : Hepatology Communications - 8 month(s) ago
patients with various liver diseases were included. All patients were included between 2017 and 2022 and had undergone a liver biopsy as well as US and/or CT. Using the histological assessment as the gold standard, we calculated diagnostic accuracy for US and CT. Liver biopsies were evaluated by expert histopathologists and diagnostic scans by experienced radiologists. Results: The mean age was 54 ± 14 years and 47% were female. Most patients had NAFLD (58.3%) or alcohol-associated liver disease (25.5%). The liver biopsy showed cirrhosis in 147 patients (39.0%). Eighty-three patients with cirrhosis had Child-Pugh A (56.4% of patients with cirrhosis) and 64 had Child-Pugh B/C (43.6%). Overall, the sensitivity for diagnosing cirrhosis by US was 0.71 (95% CI 0.62–0.79) and for CT 0.74 (95% CI 0.64–0.83). The specificity was high for US (0.94, 95% CI 0.90–0.97) and for CT (0.93, 95% CI 0.83–0.98). When evaluating patients with Child-Pugh A cirrhosis, sensitivity was only 0.62 (95% CI 0.49–
