TL;DR: This research presents a meta-analysis of Anatomia e Istologia Patologica, a large quantity of which has never before been published in a peer-reviewed journal, which aims to provide real-time information about the immune system’s response to disease.

TL;DR: It is shown that a simple index using readily available laboratory results can identify CHC patients with significant fibrosis and cirrhosis with a high degree of accuracy and may decrease the need for staging liver biopsy specimens among patients with CHC.

TL;DR: There are no systems for grading necroinflammatory activity or for staging fibrosis as exist for various other forms of chronic liver disease and this study proposes a grading and staging system that reflects the unique histological features of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

TL;DR: In conclusion, noninvasive tests can accurately predict hepatic fibrosis and may reduce the need for liver biopsy in the majority of HIV/HCV‐coinfected patients.

TL;DR: This document has been approved by the AASLD, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the American College of Gastroenterology.

TL;DR: These guidelines have been written to assist physicians and other health care providers in the recognition, diagnosis, and management of patients chronically infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV).
