Patients With Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis Given Prednisolone Therapy Who Have High Circulating Levels Of Bacterial DNA are at Increased Risk for Developing Infections
Infections are common in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH), but little information is available on how to predict their development or their effects on patients. Prednisolone is advocated for treatment of SAH, but may increase susceptibili… Continue reading

Gastrointestinal Safety of Direct Oral Anticoagulants: a Large Population-based Study
Direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) agents increase the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. We investigated which DOAC had the most favorable GI safety profile and compared differences among these drugs in age-related risk of GI bleeding. Continue reading

Association of Liver Injury From Specific Drugs, or Groups of Drugs, With Polymorphisms in HLA and Other Genes in a Genome-wide Association Study
We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genetic risk factors for drug-induced liver injury (DILI) from licensed drugs without previously reported genetic risk factors. Continue reading

Liver Cancer Cell of Origin, Molecular Class, and Effects on Patient Prognosis
Primary liver cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and therefore a major public health challenge. We review hypotheses of the cell of origin of liver tumorigenesis and clarify the classes of liver cancer based on molecul… Continue reading

Heterotrimeric G Stimulatory Protein alpha subunit is Required for Intestinal Smooth Muscle Contraction in Mice
The alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric G stimulatory protein (Gsa), encoded by the guanine nucleotide binding protein, alpha stimulating gene (Gnas, in mice), is expressed ubiquitously and mediates receptor-stimulated production of cyclic adenosine mo… Continue reading
