Clinical Consequences of Cardiomyopathy in Children With Biliary Atresia Requiring Liver Transplantation
Noelle M. Gorgis, Curtis Kennedy, Fong Lam, Kathleen Thompson, Jorge Coss‐Bu, Ayse Akcan Arikan, Trung Nguyen, Kathleen Hosek, Tamir Miloh, Saul J. Karpen, Daniel J. Penny, John Goss, Moreshwar S. Desai – 3 August 2018 – Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM), a comorbidity of end‐stage cirrhotic liver disease, remains uncharacterized in children, largely because of a lack of an established pediatric definition.

Patient‐Reported Outcomes and the Economic Effects of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis: The Value Proposition
Zobair M. Younossi – 2 August 2018 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) can progress to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), death, or liver transplantation. NASH has also been associated with impaired health‐related quality of life and poses a significant economic burden.

Negative Regulation of Mitochondrial Antiviral Signaling Protein–Mediated Antiviral Signaling by the Mitochondrial Protein LRPPRC During Hepatitis C Virus Infection
Giulia Refolo, Fabiola Ciccosanti, Martina Di Rienzo, Ariel Basulto Perdomo, Marta Romani, Tonino Alonzi, Marco Tripodi, Giuseppe Ippolito, Mauro Piacentini, Gian Maria Fimia – 2 August 2018 – Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is highly efficient in establishing a chronic infection, having evolved multiple strategies to suppress the host antiviral responses. The HCV nonstructural 5A (NS5A) protein, in addition to its role in viral replication and assembly, has long been known to hamper the interferon (IFN) response.
Oxidized Albumin Triggers a Cytokine Storm in Leukocytes Through P38 Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase: Role in Systemic Inflammation in Decompensated Cirrhosis
José Alcaraz‐Quiles, Mireia Casulleras, Karl Oettl, Esther Titos, Roger Flores‐Costa, Marta Duran‐Güell, Cristina López‐Vicario, Marco Pavesi, Rudolf E. Stauber, Vicente Arroyo, Joan Clària – 2 August 2018 – Decompensated cirrhosis is characterized by exuberant systemic inflammation. Although the inducers of this feature remain unknown, the presence of circulating forms of oxidized albumin, namely human nonmercaptalbumin 1 (HNA1) and HNA2, is a common finding in cirrhosis.
Prospective Intraindividual Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Imaging With Gadoxetic Acid and Extracellular Contrast for Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinomas Using the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System
Ji Hye Min, Jong Man Kim, Young Kon Kim, Tae Wook Kang, Soon Jin Lee, Gyu Seong Choi, Seo‐Youn Choi, Soohyun Ahn – 2 August 2018 – We intraindividually compared the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with extracellular contrast agents (ECA‐MRI) and MRI with hepatobiliary agents (HBA‐MRI) for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI‐RADS).
Liver Transplant Listing in Pediatric Acute Liver Failure: Practices and Participant Characteristics
James E. Squires, David A. Rudnick, Regina M. Hardison, Simon Horslen, Vicky L. Ng, Estella M. Alonso, Steven H. Belle, Robert H. Squires – 2 August 2018 – Liver transplant (LT) decisions in pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) are complex. Three phases of the PALF registry, containing data on 1,144 participants over 15 years, were interrogated to characterize clinical features associated with listing status. A decrease in the cumulative incidence of listing (P < 0.005) and receiving (P < 0.05) LT occurred without an increase in the cumulative incidence of death (P = 0.67).
