Vincent L. Chen, Andrew P. Wright, Brian Halligan, Yanhua Chen, Xiaomeng Du, Samuel K. Handelman, Michelle T. Long, Douglas P. Kiel, Elizabeth K. Speliotes – 18 June 2019 – Up to 25% of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are not obese but may have a fat or muscle composition that predisposes them to NAFLD. Our aim was to determine whether body composition parameters associate with NAFLD and to identify genetic contributors to this association. This study included two cohorts.
Colm J. O’Rourke, Matthias S. Matter, Chirag Nepal, Rui Caetano‐Oliveira, Phuongnga T. Ton, Valentina M. Factor, Jesper B. Andersen – 18 June 2019 – Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) mortality rates are increasing as a result of rising incidence and limited curative treatment(s) for patients with advanced disease. NOTCH pathway reactivation has been reported in biliary malignancies to conflicting degrees, hindering prioritization of key therapeutic targets within the network and identification of candidate responder patients for NOTCH‐directed therapies.

Steven Balog, Yuchang Li, Tomohiro Ogawa, Toshio Miki, Takeshi Saito, Samuel W. French, Kinji Asahina – 17 June 2019 – Glisson's capsule is the connective tissue present in the portal triad as well as beneath the liver surface. Little is known about how Glisson's capsule changes its structure in capsular fibrosis (CF), which is characterized by fibrogenesis beneath the liver surface.
Katherine H. Ross, Rachel E. Patzer, David Goldberg, Nicolas H. Osborne, Raymond J. Lynch – 17 June 2019 – Access to quality hospital care is a persistent problem for rural patients. Little is known about disparities between rural and urban populations regarding in‐hospital outcomes for end‐stage liver disease (ESLD) patients. We aimed to determine whether rural ESLD patients experienced higher in‐hospital mortality than urban patients and whether disparities were attributable to the rurality of the patient or the center.
