Triple‐Phase Computed Tomography May Replace Dual‐Energy X‐ray Absorptiometry Scan for Evaluation of Osteoporosis in Liver Transplant Candidates

Manhal Izzy, Benyam D. Addissie, Juan Pablo Arab, Moira B. Hilscher, Amanda Cartee, David C. Lee, Yong Lee, Joel G. Fletcher, Tony M. Keaveny, William Sanchez – 23 October 2020 – Assessment of bone density is an important part of liver transplantation (LT) evaluation for early identification and treatment of osteoporosis. Dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) is currently the standard clinical test for osteoporosis; however, it may contribute to the appointment burden on LT candidates during the cumbersome evaluation process, and there are limitations affecting its accuracy.

Coagulopathy in Malnourished Mice Is Sexually Dimorphic and Regulated by Nutrient‐Sensing Nuclear Receptors

Geoffrey A. Preidis, Krishnakant G. Soni, Ji Ho Suh, Tripti Halder, Kang Ho Kim, Jong Min Choi, Feng Li, Sridevi Devaraj, Margaret E. Conner, Cristian Coarfa, Sung Yun Jung, David D. Moore – 22 October 2020 – Liver dysfunction, including coagulopathy, is a prominent feature of protein‐energy malnutrition. To identify mechanisms underlying malnutrition‐associated coagulopathy, we administered a low‐protein low‐fat diet to lactating dams and examined hepatic transcription and plasma coagulation parameters in young adult weanlings.

Liver Injury in Patients Hospitalized with Coronavirus Disease 2019 Correlates with Hyperinflammatory Response and Elevated Interleukin‐6

Ben L. Da, Tatyana Kushner, Maan El Halabi, Pavan Paka, Mian Khalid, Angad Uberoi, Brian T. Lee, Ponni V. Perumalswami, Stephanie M. Rutledge, Thomas D. Schiano, Scott L. Friedman, Behnam Saberi – 16 October 2020 – Liver injury is commonly seen in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19); however, the mechanism behind liver injury, particularly in patients with severe and critical COVID‐19, remains unclear, and the clinical course is poorly described.
