Surgery is the most effective treatment for metabolic liver disease, says new study

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Metabolic (bariatric) surgery is more effective than medications and lifestyle interventions for the treatment of advanced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

A new paper, published today in The Lancet by King’s College London and the Catholic University of Rome, is the first to compare three active treatments of (NASH) and to specifically investigate the effectiveness of (weight loss surgery) in a randomized clinical trial.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease, globally affecting 55% of people with type 2 diabetes and 75% of those with obesity. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the progressive form of the disease, and is characterized by liver cell injury and inflammation, which induce liver fibrosis (scarring of the tissue). Left untreated, it can lead to and , and is one of the leading causes of liver transplant in the western world.

Stroke: Changes in blood vessels offer new targets for treatment

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

A stroke occurs when an artery in the brain becomes blocked or bursts. The brain cells beyond the blockage or bleed are deprived of oxygen and nutrients, so are damaged or die.

Scientists have been trying to find ways to minimize the damage following a stroke and speed up recovery.

Now, a study led by scientists from Weill Cornell Medicine has found changes in gene activity in small blood vessels following a stroke. The findings suggest that these changes could be targeted with existing or future drugs to mitigate brain injury or improve stroke recovery.
