Copper Supplementation in Cirrhosis
End stage liver disease or cirrhosis is a major cause of mortality in the United States and the world. Other than targeting the underlying cause, such as alcohol cessation and antiviral therapy, very few medical treatments can change the natural history of cirrhosis. Malnutrition is one of the few potentially …
Noninvasive Prediction of Portal Hypertension in Cirrhosis Using Sound Touch Viscoelastography
The objective of this observational study is to investigate and validate the utility of the Sound Touch Viscoelastography(STVi) technique in patients with liver cirrhosis for noninvasive prediction of Portal hypertension (PH). The primary research questions it seeks to address are as follows: What is the correlation between the liver STVi …
Comparison of the Incidence of Delirium Caused by Different Anesthetic Agents in Patients Undergoing Liver Transplantation
This study is a prospective observational study that analyzes the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients undergoing liver transplantation, based on the use of the inhalational anesthetic sevoflurane and the intravenous anesthetic propofol.
Drug-induced Liver Injury: Itching Study
Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an unpredictable adverse hepatic reaction to a medication used in its therapeutic dose. DILI is the second most common cause of itching in adult Hepatology after biliary obstruction. In particular cholestatic or mixed pattern types of DILI (in which bile flow from the liver …
Diagnosis of Lymphohistiocytic Hemophagocytosis in Intensive Care
Patients with hepatocellular insufficiency and/or cirrhosis are at risk of developing invasive fungal infections, particularly in critical care settings. In international recommendations, voriconazole is positioned as the first-line treatment for invasive aspergillosis. However, this molecule-and the azole class of antifungals-is associated with frequent hepatic toxicity. Available since 2018, isavuconazole appears …
Harnessing Macrophage Lysosomal Lipid Metabolism in Obesity
The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in adipose (fat) tissue macrophages (ATM) in regulating adipose tissue and systemic metabolic function in obesity. The investigators will assess the differences in ATM lipid metabolism in people with metabolically abnormal obesity and lean individuals. …
Radio-opaque Contrast Agents for Liver Cancer Targeting With KIM During Radiation Therapy
This observational study will investigate the properties of image files standardly collected during radiation therapy treatment in a cross-section of liver cancer patients who received stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SABR) after trans-catheter arterial chemo emobilisation (TACE). Specifically, it will determine whether the radio-opaque contrast agents in the image files …
Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound to Evaluate Response to Chemoembolization in Patients With Liver Tumors
This phase II trial evaluates the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for assessing treatment response in patients undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for liver tumors. TACE is a hepatic artery embolization technique involving the injection of a blocking agent and a chemotherapy agent to treat liver cancers. Currently, contrast enhanced …
Variability of Microwave Ablation Volume Based on Clinical, Radiological, Biological, and Tissue Factors
Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive technique whose planning relies on manufacturer tables derived from ex vivo models that do not account for patient or tumor-specific factors. In clinical practice, the actual ablation volume often differs from the planned volume due to liver characteristics, vascular proximity, and tumor biology. This …
TheraSphere Japan Pre-Market Study
To investigate the safety and effectiveness of BSJ019T in Japanese patients with primary or secondary liver who are not candidate for standard treatment.
