Allison J. Kwong, Avegail Flores, Giovanna Saracino, Jodi Boutté, Greg McKenna, Giuliano Testa, Ranjeeta Bahirwani, Anji Wall, W. Ray Kim, Göran Klintmalm, James F. Trotter, Sumeet K. Asrani – 29 July 2020 – In the United States, centers performing liver transplant (LT) are primarily evaluated by patient survival within 1 year after LT, but tight clustering of outcomes allows only a narrow window for evaluation of center variation for quality improvement. Alternate measures more relevant to patients and the transplant community are needed.

Andrea D. Branch – 28 July 2020 – Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) has created an emergency of epic proportions. While a vaccine may be forthcoming, this is not guaranteed, as discussed herein.

Nikolaos Perakakis, Aditya Joshi, Natia Peradze, Konstantinos Stefanakis, Georgia Li, Michael Feigh, Sanne Skovgard Veidal, Glenn Rosen, Michael Fleming, Christos S. Mantzoros – 28 July 2020 – CHS‐131 is a selective peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor gamma modulator with antidiabetic effects and less fluid retention and weight gain compared to thiazolidinediones in phase II clinical trials. We investigated the effects of CHS‐131 on metabolic parameters and liver histopathology in a diet‐induced obese (DIO) and biopsy‐confirmed mouse model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Gen‐Sheng Feng, Kaisa L. Hanley, Yan Liang, Xiaoxue Lin – 26 July 2020 – Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a most deadly malignant disease worldwide, with no effective mechanism‐based therapy available. Therefore, following the “miracle” outcomes seen in a few patients at the advanced stages of melanoma or lung cancer, the immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) immediately entered clinical trials for advanced HCC patients without pre‐clinical studies.

Kajali Mishra, Sandra Naffouj, Sarah Gorgis, Hanan Ibrahim, Sonika Gill, Raef Fadel, Abigail Chatfield, Amy Tang, Reena Salgia – 26 July 2020 – Respiratory failure is the most common cause of death in patients with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). There have been many investigations to determine predictors of bad outcomes in patients with this illness. Liver enzyme elevation has been described in hospitalized patients with severe COVID‐19; however, little is known about the significance of liver injury regarding outcomes.
