A novel ultrasound-based algorithm for the detection of pancreatic stents placed for prophylaxis of post-ERCP pancreatitis: a prospective trial Open
Before removal of retained pancreatic stents placed during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to avoid post-ERCP pancreatitis, imaging is recommended. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a new ultrasound-based algorith…

Glucocorticoid Replacement for Adrenal Insufficiency and the Development of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Open
Glucocorticoid excess is a known risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Our objective was to analyse the impact of glucocorticoid replacement therapy on the development of NAFLD and NAFLD-related fibrosis and, therefore…

NTRK fusion events and targeted treatment of advanced radioiodine refractory thyroid cancer Open
Purpose Pathogenic fusion events involving neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) have been described in ~ 2% of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The selective tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors entrectinib and larotrec…

Survival According to Therapy Regimen for Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors Open
Introduction: Scarce data exist for therapy regimens other than somatostatin analogues (SSA) and peptide receptor radiotherapy (PRRT) for siNET. We analyzed real world data for differences in survival according to therapy. Patients and met…

Shear Wave Elastography Reveals a High Prevalence of NAFLD-related Fibrosis even in Type 1 Diabetes Open
Background The association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and advanced stages of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is well known. Some studies indicate a relevant prevalence also in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), but so far ther…

Percutaneous endoscopic necrosectomy using an automated rotor resection device in severe necrotizing pancreatitis Open
Endoscopic transgastric necrosectomy is a first-line treatment for infected pancreatic necroses following acute pancreatitis [1] [2]. However, the accessibility of walled-off necrotic collections in the paracolic gutter often remains chall…

Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) precipitated by severe alcoholic hepatitis: another collateral damage of the COVID-19 pandemic? Open
We have read with interest the study recently published by Bajaj and colleagues.[1][1] The authors convincingly demonstrate that underlying cirrhosis should be considered a high-risk comorbid condition among patients with COVID-19. However…
View article: Point Shear‐Wave Elastography Using Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging for the Prediction of Liver‐Related Events in Patients With Chronic Viral Hepatitis
Point Shear‐Wave Elastography Using Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging for the Prediction of Liver‐Related Events in Patients With Chronic Viral Hepatitis Open
Chronic viral hepatitis is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. The aim of our study was to assess the ability of point shear‐wave elastography (pSWE) using acoustic radiation force impulse imaging for the predict…
View article: Use of Antiplatelet Agents Is Inversely Associated With Liver Fibrosis in Patients With Cardiovascular Disease
Use of Antiplatelet Agents Is Inversely Associated With Liver Fibrosis in Patients With Cardiovascular Disease Open
Platelets participate in the development of liver fibrosis in animal models, but little is known about the benefit of antiplatelet agents in preventing liver fibrosis in humans. We therefore explored the relationship between the use of ant…
View article: Comparison of strain elastography, point shear wave elastography using acoustic radiation force impulse imaging and 2D-shear wave elastography for the differentiation of thyroid nodules
Comparison of strain elastography, point shear wave elastography using acoustic radiation force impulse imaging and 2D-shear wave elastography for the differentiation of thyroid nodules Open
pSWE using ARFI and 2D-SWE showed comparable results for the differentiation of thyroid nodules. ARFI was superior to elastography using SE.

Severity of coronary artery disease is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver dis-ease: A single-blinded prospective mono-center study Open
Clinically relevant CAD is frequently associated with the presence of NAFLD, but not NAFLD with advanced fibrosis.
