Chiara Marzano, Dominique Cazals‐Hatem, Pierre‐Emmanuel Rautou, Dominique‐Charles Valla – 13 February 2015 – Sinusoidal dilatation found in the absence of an impaired sinusoidal blood outflow has been so far of unclear significance. Sinusoidal dilatation may actually be a nonspecific feature of impaired portal venous blood inflow, whatever the cause, or a feature of severe systemic inflammatory reaction syndrome, whatever the cause. Sinusoidal dilatation is mainly located in the centrilobular area even in the absence of an outflow block.

Monica A. Konerman, Yiwei Zhang, Ji Zhu, Peter D.R. Higgins, Anna S.F. Lok, Akbar K. Waljee – 12 February 2015 – Existing predictive models of risk of disease progression in chronic hepatitis C have limited accuracy. The aim of this study was to improve upon existing models by applying novel statistical methods that incorporate longitudinal data. Patients in the Hepatitis C Antiviral Long‐term Treatment Against Cirrhosis trial were analyzed.

Hsi‐Hsun Lin, Susan Shin‐Jung Lee, Ming‐Lung Yu, Ting‐Tsung Chang, Chien‐Wei Su, Bor‐Shen Hu, Yaw‐Sen Chen, Chun‐Kai Huang, Chung‐Hsu Lai, Jiun‐Nong Lin, Jaw‐Ching Wu – 11 February 2015 – The emergence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection in the era of widespread HBV vaccination has not been described before. We aimed to investigate the changing epidemiology of HDV infection among high‐ and low‐risk populations after an outbreak of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among injection drug users (IDUs) in Taiwan.

Roberts, Morris Sherman – 11 February 2015 – Current guidelines recommend surgical resection as the primary treatment for a single hepatocellular cancer (HCC) with Child's A cirrhosis, normal serum bilirubin, and no clinically significant portal hypertension. We determined how frequently guidelines were followed and whether straying from them impacted survival.
