TL;DR: LSM does not represent a reliable instrument to detect the presence of advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients presenting with a clinical picture of acute hepatitis, and the extent of necroinflammatory activity needs to be carefully considered in future studies aimed at further validating transient elastography.

TL;DR: TE is more suitable for the identification of patients with advanced fibrosis than of those with cirrhosis or significant fibrosis, and in patients in whom likelihood ratios are not optimal and do not provide a reliable indication of the disease stage, liver biopsy should be considered when clinically indicated.

TL;DR: Identifying ARB colonization early during antibiotic therapy could target a high-risk hospitalized population that may benefit from intervention to decrease the risk of subsequent nosocomial infections.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors retrospectively analyzed observational data on use and outcomes of CAZ-AVI therapy for infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) strains.
