TL;DR: Autochthonous hepatitis E is more common than previously recognized, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with hepatitis, whatever their age or travel history.

TL;DR: Over the next decade, the combination of accurate case ascertainment of DILI via clinical networks and the application of genomics and proteomics will hopefully lead to accurate prediction of risk of D ILI, so that pharmacotherapy can be optimised with avoidance of adverse hepatic events.

TL;DR: Using the criteria of a GBS ≤2, aged less than 70 years to define patients at ‘low risk’ allows 10.5% of patients with primary upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage to be safely managed in the community.

TL;DR: Patients presenting with a primary upper upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage aged below 70 years with a Glasgow Blatchford Score of 2 or less are at a low risk, and can be safely managed in the community.

TL;DR: Hepatitis E virus is the most common acute viral hepatitis in Scotland and its burden of morbidity and mortality can be high in chronic liver disease or immunocompromised states.
