Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: MR Imaging of Liver Proton Density Fat Fraction to Assess Hepatic Steatosis

TLDR
MR imaging-PDFF showed promise for assessment of hepatic steatosis grade in patients with NAFLD, and was significantly correlated with histologic steatotic grade.
Abstract
MR imaging with proton density fat fraction (PDFF) permitted high overall accuracy with moderate sensitivity and high specificity for classification of dichotomized steatosis grade, and these results support the conduct of further studies to help validate MR imaging–PDFF as a biomarker of hepatic steatosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Important food sources of fructose-containing sugars and adiposity: A systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled feeding trials

TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of food sources of fructose-containing sugars by energy control on adiposity was investigated in a systematic review and meta-analysis, MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched through April 2022 for controlled trials ≥2 wk.

Cuantificación y monitorización del hígado graso no alcohólico mediante resonancia magnética

TL;DR: La RM multieco puede ser un metodo diagnostico incruento that permita cuantificar y monitorizar de forma precisa the grasa intrahepatica, i.e. el contenido hepatico de lipidos.

Method and system for determining a corrected value of magnetic resonance relaxometry data of a subject's visceral tissue for extracellular fluid based on a normal iron content for the visceral tissue

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide systems and methods which may assist in evaluating liver fibrosis/inflammation in the presence of elevated iron using magnetic resonance relaxometry, which can include a measurement of relaxometry data of a subject's liver for extracellular fluid, preferably using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device.

Effect of Gd-DOTA on fat quantification in skeletal muscle using two-point Dixon technique - preliminary data.

TL;DR: Gd-DOTA does not significantly influence FSF quantification in skeletal muscle based on the two-point Dixon technique at 3T, and almost equivalent FSF estimation between pre- and post-contrast measurements was indicated.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: a proposal for grading and staging the histological lesions

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.

Sampling variability of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a length of at least 25 mm is necessary to evaluate fibrosis accurately with a semiquantitative score, because variability in the distribution of fibrosis within the liver is a major limitation when using more accurate methods such as automated image analysis.

Sampling variability of liver biopsy in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

TL;DR: Histologic lesions of NASH are unevenly distributed throughout the liver parenchyma; therefore, sampling error of liver biopsy can result in substantial misdiagnosis and staging inaccuracies.
