Reassessment of the Hispanic Disparity: Hepatic Steatosis Is More Prevalent in Mexican Americans Than Other Hispanics
Magda Shaheen, Deyu Pan, Katrina M. Schrode, Dulcie Kermah, Vishwajeet Puri, Ali Zarrinpar, David Elisha, Sonia M. Najjar, Theodore C. Friedman – 15 July 2021 – Hepatic steatosis (HS) is a growing problem in adults worldwide, with racial/ethnic disparity in the prevalence of the disease. The purpose of this study was to characterize the racial/ethnic prevalence of the stages (normal/mild [S0/S1], moderate [S2], and severe [S3]) of HS in Mexican Americans and other Hispanics compared to other racial/ethnic groups.

Tissue‐Specific Regulation of Ferroportin in Wild‐Type and Hjv‐/‐ Mice Following Dietary Iron Manipulations
Angeliki Katsarou, Konstantinos Gkouvatsos, Carine Fillebeen, Kostas Pantopoulos – 15 July 2021 – Hepcidin is a liver‐derived peptide hormone that limits iron egress from tissues to the bloodstream. It operates by binding to the iron exporter ferroportin, which blocks iron transport and tags ferroportin for degradation. Genetic hepcidin inactivation leads to hereditary hemochromatosis, a disease of iron overload. We used wild‐type and Hjv‐/‐ mice, a model of hemochromatosis, to examine the expression of ferroportin and other proteins of iron metabolism in hepcidin target tissues.
Temporal Trends and Evolving Outcomes After Simultaneous Liver‐Kidney Transplantation: Results from the US SLKT Consortium
Giuseppe Cullaro, Pratima Sharma, Jennifer Jo, Jasmine Rassiwala, Lisa B. VanWagner, Randi Wong, Jennifer C. Lai, John Magee, Aaron Schluger, Pranab Barman, Yuval A. Patel, Kara Walter, Scott W. Biggins, Elizabeth C. Verna – 14 July 2021 – We aimed to understand the contemporary changes in the characteristics and the determinants of outcomes among simultaneous liver‐kidney transplantation (SLKT) recipients at 6 liver transplantation centers in the United States. We retrospectively enrolled SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 in the US Multicenter SLKT Consortium.
