Simultaneous bariatric surgery and liver transplant for patients who are severely obese is safe and improves long-term health outcomes, according to a recent Mayo Clinic study. This combined approach offers a needed solution for these patients who are often denied a lifesaving liver transplant due to their weight.
Pesquisadores do Centro de Medicina Personalizada da Mayo Clinic descobriram uma variante genética rara que pode ser a causa direta da doença hepática esteatótica associada à disfunção metabólica.
Investigadores del Centro para Medicina Personalizada en Mayo Clinic han descubierto una variante genética rara que puede ser la causa directa de la enfermedad hepática esteatósica asociada a disfunción metabólica, anteriormente conocida como enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico.
روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا — اكتشف باحثون في مركز مايو كلينك للطب الفردي متغيرًا جينيًا نادرًا يمكنه أن يسبب بشكل مباشر مرض الكبد الدهني المرتبط بالخلل الأيضي، والذي عُرف سابقًا باسم مرض الكبد الدهني غير الكحولي.
Researchers from UC San Diego found that children diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are at significantly increased risk of premature death and serious long-term health complications. The study, which followed 1,096 children over an average of 8.5 years. Nearly half of all deaths in the cohort were liver-related, and the overall mortality rate was 40 times higher than that of similar peers in the general U.S. population.
Researchers at Mayo Clinic's Center for Individualized Medicine have discovered a rare genetic variant that can directly cause metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
A drug candidate previously successful at treating severe fatty liver disease, reduces atherosclerosis in large mammals, a study suggests. The compound, DT-109, presents as a dual-action drug capable of treating both metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASH) and the vascular complications associated with atherosclerosis, a significant advancement in the treatment landscape.
A stress-response protein, CDKN1A, may serve as a biomarker or therapeutic target for MASLD, new research in The FASEB Journal shows. Its expression correlated with disease severity across patient datasets and animal models.
Every eight minutes, someone joins the transplant waiting list in the United States, and just one organ donor can save up to eight lives. Penn State Health experts tell how registering as an organ donor can give others a second chance at life.
Researchers developed liver-targeted immunotherapy (LIT), a novel approach that chemically modifies allergens with mannose sugars, directing them to the liver where immune tolerance develops. In preclinical trials, just two LIT doses provided year-long asthma protection without triggering allergic reactions, outperforming traditional immunotherapy.
Children's Hospital Los Angeles’ Liver Transplant Program has the best outcomes for pediatric liver transplants in the country.
Treatment resistance and relapse in the most common type of lung cancer can be traced to a protein called agrin, according to a preclinical study led by Roswell Park. Results of the study, led by Sayan Chakraborty, PhD, Assistant Professor of Oncology at Roswell Park, appear in Advanced Science.

he April issue of The American Journal of Gastroenterology highlights new clinical science and reviews, including the gluten-free diet and exposure to arsenic, internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy for irritable bowel syndrome, a new guideline on gastric premalignant conditions, and multi-society consensus recommendations on bowel preparation.
The Endocrine Society is extremely disappointed the administration has chosen not to finalize a rule that would have made anti-obesity medications more accessible to millions of Americans with obesity.
A new study, led by researchers at the UNC School of Medicine, highlights the latest statistics on gastrointestinal cancers, hospital admissions, liver transplants, and research funding.
Los trasplantes de hígado se están convirtiendo en una nueva opción de tratamiento para algunos pacientes con cáncer colorrectal cuyos cánceres se han diseminado al hígado y no son elegibles para otros tipos de cirugía. Este enfoque innovador ha traído esperanza a los pacientes con cáncer colorrectal que, de otro modo, a menudo enfrentan un pronóstico sombrío.
Os transplantes de fígado estão se tornando uma nova opção de tratamento para alguns pacientes com câncer colorretal cujos cânceres se espalharam para o fígado e não são elegíveis para outros tipos de cirurgia. Essa abordagem inovadora tem trazido esperança para pacientes com câncer colorretal que, de outra forma, costumam enfrentar um prognóstico sombrio.
