Pathogenesis of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis: An Overview

Gopanandan Parthasarathy, Xavier Revelo, Harmeet Malhi – 14 January 2020 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a heterogeneous group of liver diseases characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver. The heterogeneity of NAFLD is reflected in a clinical and histologic spectrum where some patients develop isolated steatosis of the liver, termed nonalcoholic fatty liver, whereas others develop hepatocyte injury, ballooning, inflammation, and consequent fibrosis, termed nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Hepatitis C Virus Prevalence in 50 U.S. States and D.C. by Sex, Birth Cohort, and Race: 2013‐2016

Heather Bradley, Eric W. Hall, Elizabeth M. Rosenthal, Patrick S. Sullivan, A. Blythe Ryerson, Eli S. Rosenberg – 14 January 2020 – Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of liver‐related morbidity and mortality, and more than 2 million adults in the United States are estimated to be currently infected. Reducing HCV burden will require an understanding of demographic disparities and targeted efforts to reduce prevalence in populations with disproportionate disease rates. We modeled state‐level estimates of hepatitis C prevalence among U.S.

Immune Checkpoint Axes Are Dysregulated in Patients With Alcoholic Hepatitis

Wei Li, Ying Xia, Jing Yang, Haitao Guo, Guoqing Sun, Arun J. Sanyal, Vijay H. Shah, Yongliang Lou, Xiaoqun Zheng, Naga Chalasani, Qigui Yu – 12 January 2020 – Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a severe inflammatory liver disease that develops in some heavy drinkers. The immune system in patients with AH is hyperactive and yet dysfunctional. Here, we investigated whether this immune‐dysregulated state is related to the alcoholic impact on immune checkpoints (ICPs).

Liver Diseases in the Perinatal Period: Interactions Between Mother and Infant

Samar H. Ibrahim, Maureen M. Jonas, Sarah A. Taylor, Luz Helena Gutierrez Sanchez, Jaqueline L. Wolf, Shikha S. Sundaram – 10 January 2020 – Liver diseases affecting the mother and infant dyad may present in the perinatal period from 20 weeks of gestation to 28 days of life. This review will focus on the current approach to neonatal acute liver failure and the progress made in the diagnosis and management of gestational alloimmune liver disease. It will highlight mother‐to‐child transmission of viral hepatitis, both management and public health implications.
