Tenofovir bests entecavir for HCC protection in hepatitis B

29 Apr 2021

In patients with chronic hepatitis B, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate appears to perform better than entecavir at reducing the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as well as improving survival, especially among those who are naïve to treatment and with underlying cirrhosis, as reported in a study.

High infliximab exposure needed for radiologic remission in Crohn’s disease

27 Apr 2021 by

Patients with active luminal Crohn’s disease are likely to achieve radiologic response and remission with infliximab trough level of 7.8 µg/ml at the end of induction therapy, as indicated by data from the TAILORIX trial.

Combination therapy for hepatitis B makes the grade in real world

23 Apr 2021 by

A 48-week course of combination therapy with pegylated interferon and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate appears to induce functional cure in patients with chronic hepatitis B, leading to a remarkable reduction in viral surface antigen levels (HBsAg) in the blood, according to real-world data.

Food satisfaction impaired in IBD, tied to reduced intake of key nutrients

21 Apr 2021

A compromised food-related quality of life (FR-QoL) is common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is linked to recurrent disease flares, a reduced IBD-specific QoL, and greater IBD-related distress, results of a study have shown.

Genetically vulnerable individuals benefit more from lifestyle modification in reducing CRC risk

20 Apr 2021

Lifestyle modification to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) appears more beneficial among individuals with high vs low genetic susceptibility, suggests a recent study, noting that its observational nature precludes proof of causality.

Fasting alters microbiome to reduce weight, control BP

20 Apr 2021

Fasting induces alterations in the gut microbiome, which in turn helps reduce body weight and control blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome, a recent study has found.

Short-term weight gain predicts NAFLD development in nonobese people

19 Apr 2021

Recent short-term weight gain is independently associated with a higher risk of developing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in nonobese men and women, a study has found.

Strength training improves quality of life in cirrhotic patients

19 Apr 2021

The strength training intervention (STRIVE), a home-based structured exercise programme for patients with cirrhosis, appears to substantially improve quality of life, according to a study. However, improvement in the Liver Frailty Index (LFI) is minimal.

Magnetic stem cell microrobots enable intervention in tiny, tortuous lumens

19 Apr 2021 by

Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have developed magnetic stem cell spheroid microrobots (MSCSMs) that can be rapidly delivered with high precision to tiny and tortuous lumens, enabling targeted therapeutic intervention at sites inaccessible with conventional endoscopes and medical robots.
