Multimodal artificial intelligence models for liver fibrosis staging: a scoping review.

Multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) approaches integrating heterogeneous data sources represent an emerging frontier in liver fibrosis assessment. However, use of multimodal AI for liver fibrosis staging has been only preliminarily explored, and the existing evidence is constrained by substantial methodological gaps. This scoping review aimed to comprehensively map the current evidence on mult...

Bone Mineral Density Loss After Kidney Transplantation: Metabolic Determinants, Diagnostic Approaches, and Preventive Strategies.

Mineral and bone disease (MBD) is a frequent complication after solid organ transplantation. The rapid decline in bone mineral density (BMD) during the first year after kidney transplantation reflects complex interactions between immunosuppressive therapy, metabolic factors and pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD)-MBD. This narrative review summarizes the magnitude and time course of BMD loss...
