BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a common cause of liver cirrhosis (LC), a condition associated with an unfavourable prognosis. Therefore, timely diagnosis of LC in CHB patients is crucial.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: To develop a deep learning model based on high-frequency ultrasound images to classify different stages of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B patients.
OBJECTIVES: Current study aimed to investigate radiomics features derived from 2-centre diffusion-MRI to differentiate benign and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) liver nodules.
BACKGROUND: Dysregulated programmed cell death pathways mechanistically contribute to hepatic inflammation and fibrogenesis in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Identification of cell death genes may offer insights into diagnostic and therapeutic...
AIM: This case series aimed to explore the occurrence of synchronous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma in cirrhotic patients and to propose a potential common pathogenic mechanism.
