TL;DR: The global estimate of viraemic HCV infections is lower than previous estimates, largely due to more recent prevalence estimates in Africa, and increased mortality due to liver-related causes and an ageing population may have contributed to a reduction in infections.

TL;DR: Assessment of ACLF patients at 3‐7 days of the syndrome provides a tool to define the emergency of LT and a rational basis for intensive care discontinuation owing to futility.

TL;DR: Although TACE reduced tumor preoperatively, it failed to show a beneficial effect on patient survival in advanced‐stage HCCs and was associated with an excellent outcome in selected patients.

TL;DR: An ART score of ≥2.5 prior the second TACE identifies patients with a dismal prognosis who may not profit from further TACE sessions and remained significant irrespective of Child‐Pugh stage and the presence of ascites prior the first TACE.

TL;DR: DMT1 and FP1 are centrally involved in iron uptake/transfer in the duodenum and in the adaptive changes of iron homeostasis to iron deficiency and overload.
