Allometric fat mass index and alanine aminotransferase attenuate the associations of platelet parameters with lung cancer risk Sofia Christakoudi , Konstantinos K. Tsilidis & Elio Riboli Article 28 October 2024 | Open Access Dynamics of the human bile acid metabolome during weight loss Andreas...
Liver regeneration comprises hypertrophy (increase in cell size) and hyperplasia (increase in cell number) as compensation for lost tissue mass19. The cellular and molecular pathways underlying liver regeneration have been extensively studied in non-human models20 using experimental approaches such as ...
Because the hepatic uptake of Gd-EOB-DTPA depends on the integrity of the hepatocyte mass, this uptake can be quantified to assess liver function. We report the relationship between the extent of Gd-EOB-DTPA uptake and the degree of liver fibrosis. T1-weighted volume- interpolated breath-hold...

Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated as BW divided by height squared (Kg/m2). Biochemical determinations Blood samples were collected, processed and stored at -80 degrees, until further analysis [18]. Biochemical determinations such as blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglycerides ...
35 Fifty-four patients who were suspected for hepatic hemangiomas found by US, CT, and or MRI were considered. 99mTc RBCs were in vivo labeled,21 and imaging protocol included a dynamic perfusion scan starting immediately after the injection of 99mTc pertechnetate, planar images (early and ...
Clinical manifestations may include malaise, anorexia, abdominal pain, abdominal fullness because of ascites or mass effect, or weight loss. Acute abdominal pain and distention caused by the spontaneous rupture of a superficial tumor with resulting hemoperitoneum is a common presentation of HCC in ...
The protocol was approved by the Mass General Brigham institutional review board; all participants provided written informed consent. The protocol and statistical analysis plan are included in Supplement 1. Final follow-up occurred on February 23, 2023. Eligibility and Exclusion Criteria Eligible ...
7.15 HCC: MRI with liver-specific contrast agent (gadoxetic acid). (a) Axial T1-weighted GRE shows an encapsulated slightly hyperintense mass in the dome of the liver. (b) Gadoxetic acid-enhanced image shows strong enhancement in the arterial phase. (c) In the hepa- tobiliary phase ...
