TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted to correlate the occurrence and severity of liver steatosis with hepatitis C virus type, level and sequence of the core-encoding region.

TL;DR: In this large and geographically different group of CHC patients, steatosis is confirmed as significantly and independently associated with fibrosis in CHC.

TL;DR: Histological tumor regression was most common among oxaliplatin-treated patients and associated with better clinical outcome, and should be considered when evaluating efficacy of chemotherapy for HCRM.

TL;DR: EUS-guided FNA is a valuable tool in the preoperative diagnostic assessment of pancreatic cystic lesions and is compared with the final histological diagnosis obtained at surgery or postmortem examination.

TL;DR: For most patients with cirrhosis seen in the daily practice, biannual screening to detect symptomless tumors accessible to surgical resection provides negligible benefit in life expectancy, and for well-targeted patients with the longest reported cirrhoses-related survival rate, screening may substantially increase mean life expectancy at lower costs.
