Cindy Piao, Norah A. Terrault, Souvik Sarkar – 25 March 2019 – Healthcare delivery has been dramatically changing in recent times with advances in technology. One area of expansion has been the use of telemedicine due to progression in communication technologies. Telemedicine offers the opportunity to overcome barriers of access, improve patient satisfaction, improve healthcare outcomes and streamline communication between patients and providers.

Vargas, Ram Subramanian, Paul J. Thuluvath, Patrick S. Kamath, Leroy Thacker, Jasmohan S. Bajaj – 25 March 2019 – We hypothesize that the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among patients with cirrhosis has increased due to the increased prevalence of CKD‐associated comorbidities, such as diabetes.

Vinay Sundaram, Parth Shah, Robert J. Wong, Constantine J. Karvellas, Brett E. Fortune, Nadim Mahmud, Alexander Kuo, Rajiv Jalan – 25 March 2019 – Patients listed for liver transplantation (LT) as status 1a currently receive the highest priority on the waiting list. The presence of acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) with three or more organs failing (ACLF‐3) portends low survival without transplantation, which may not be reflected by the Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease‐Sodium (MELD‐Na) score.

However, it is not known how the reprogrammed activities are implemented during differentiation of cancer stem cells (CSCs).

Mussarat N. Rahim, Rodrigo Liberal, Rosa Miquel, Nigel D. Heaton, Michael A. Heneghan – 22 March 2019 – Acute severe presentations of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) represent a challenge for the transplant community. As a disease, it is poorly characterized, and there is a weak evidence base to guide diagnosis and treatment. Early identification of acute severe AIH is key because it determines the initiation of corticosteroids, which can be lifesaving. However, their use in this setting remains controversial.
