From NAFLD to MAFLD: Implications of a Premature Change in Terminology

Zobair M. Younossi, Mary E. Rinella, Arun J. Sanyal, Stephen A. Harrison, Elizabeth M. Brunt, Zachary Goodman, David E. Cohen, Rohit Loomba – 16 June 2020 – Despite the substantial gains in our understanding of NAFLD/NASH over the past 2 decades, there has been some dissatisfaction with the terminology “non‐alcoholic” which overemphasizes “alcohol” and underemphasizes the root cause of this liver disease, namely, the predisposing metabolic risk factors. As a potential remedy, a name change from NAFLD to metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has been proposed.

Regorafenib Versus Nivolumab After Sorafenib Failure: Real‐World Data in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Won‐Mook Choi, Jonggi Choi, Danbi Lee, Ju Hyun Shim, Young‐Suk Lim, Han Chu Lee, Young‐Hwa Chung, Young‐Sang Lee, Sook Ryun Park, Min‐Hee Ryu, Baek‐Yeol Ryoo, So Jung Lee, Kang Mo Kim – 16 June 2020 – Regorafenib and nivolumab are drugs approved for second‐line treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after sorafenib failure.

Robotic Versus Open Right Lobe Donor Hepatectomy for Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Propensity Score–Matched Analysis

Dieter C. Broering, Yasser Elsheikh, Yasir Alnemary, Ahmed Zidan, Ahmed Elsarawy, Yahia Saleh, Saleh Alabbad, Mark Sturdevant, Yao‐Ming Wu, Roberto I. Troisi – 15 June 2020 – Robotic right lobe donor hepatectomy (RRLDH) is rarely performed, and data concerning its safety and efficacy are lacking. Here we compare our series of RRLDHs with a similar cohort undergoing open right lobe donor hepatectomy (ORLDH) with a propensity score–matched (PSM) analysis.
