Jan Pfeiffenberger, Sandra Beinhardt, Daniel N. Gotthardt, Nicola Haag, Clarissa Freissmuth, Ulrike Reuner, Annika Gauss, Wolfgang Stremmel, Michael L. Schilsky, Peter Ferenci, Karl Heinz Weiss – 31 August 2017 – Wilson's disease (WD) is a rare inherited disorder of copper metabolism causing toxic hepatic and neural copper accumulation. Clinical symptoms vary widely, from asymptomatic disease to acute liver failure or chronic liver disease with or without neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Lewis R. Roberts, Claude B. Sirlin, Feras Zaiem, Jehad Almasri, Larry J. Prokop, Julie K. Heimbach, M. Hassan Murad, Khaled Mohammed – 31 August 2017 – Multiphasic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are both used for noninvasive diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with cirrhosis. To determine if there is a relative diagnostic benefit of one over the other, we synthesized evidence regarding the relative performance of CT, extracellular contrast–enhanced MRI, and gadoxetate‐enhanced MRI for diagnosis of HCC in patients with cirrhosis.

George V. Papatheodoridis, Spilios Manolakopoulos, Tung‐Hung Su, Spyros Siakavellas, Chun‐Jen Liu, Anastasia Kourikou, Hung‐Chih Yang, Jia‐Horng Kao – 31 August 2017 – Relapses are observed in most hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)‐negative chronic hepatitis B patients who discontinue treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs); however, the rates of relapse vary widely among studies, and whether all patients with relapse need retreatment is unclear.

Burbelo, Charles M. Rice, W. Ian Lipkin, Kurt Vandegrift, John M.

Laura Kulik, Julie K. Heimbach, Feras Zaiem, Jehad Almasri, Larry J Prokop, Zhen Wang, M. Hassan Murad, Khaled Mohammed – 31 August 2017 – Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are listed for liver transplantation (LT) are often treated while on the waiting list with locoregional therapy (LRT), which is aimed at either preventing progression of HCC or reducing the measurable disease burden of HCC in order to receive increased allocation priority. We aimed to synthesize evidence regarding the effectiveness of LRT in the management of patients with HCC who were on the LT waitlist.
