Advanced liver fibrosis in NAFLD and antiplatelet therapy: a meta-analysis
Recent studies have found the new use of antiplatelet agents for antifibrotic benefits in NAFLD, but human studies are still limited. The authors of this meta-analysis aimed to combine the findings.....
NASH-related fibrosis: MEFIB has higher diagnostic accuracy than FAST
In this study, the authors compared the diagnostic accuracy of MEFIB (the combination of magnetic resonance elastography and Fibrosis-4) and FAST for detecting.....
H. pylori infection and NAFLD in China
The role of H. pylori infection in the development of NAFLD remains controversial. This retrospective study was conducted on 71,633 participants. .....
