The hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is the gold standard for cirrhotic portal hypertension (PHT), but it is invasive and specialized. Alternative non-invasive techniques are needed to assess the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG). Here, ...

This research was aimed at investigating the artificial intelligence (AI) segmentation algorithm-based multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) in the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis and liver fibrosis. Besides, it was aimed at providing new methods...
For years, hepatologists have been seeking non-invasive methods able to detect significant liver fibrosis. However, no previous algorithm using routine blood markers has proven to be clinically appropriate in primary care. We present a novel approach...

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS), which attempts to extract quantitative features from the US radiofrequency (RF) or envelope data for tissue characterization, is becoming a promising technique for noninvasive assessments of liver fibrosis. However, the...
Metagenomic sequencing methods provide considerable genomic information regarding human microbiomes, enabling us to discover and understand microbial diseases. Compositional differences have been reported between patients and healthy people, which co...
Liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B is the pathological repair response of the liver to chronic injury, which is a key step in the development of various chronic liver diseases to cirrhosis and an important link affecting the prognosis of chronic l...
Exponential development in artificial intelligence or deep learning technology has resulted in more trials to systematically determine the pathological diagnoses using whole slide images (WSIs) in clinical and nonclinical studies. In this study, we a...
OBJECTIVE: Liver cirrhosis is a leading cause of death and effects millions of people in the United States. Early mortality prediction among patients with cirrhosis might give healthcare providers more opportunity to effectively treat the condition. ...
The diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and associated fibrosis is challenging given the lack of signs, symptoms and nonexistent diagnostic test. Furthermore, follow up and treatment decisions become complicated with a lack of a simple repr...
