The Safety and Efficacy of an Alcohol-free Pancreatic Cyst Ablation Protocol
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided chemoablation with ethanol lavage followed by infusion of paclitaxel, is effective for the treatment of mucinous pancreatic cysts. However, complications arise in 3%–10% of patients, presumably linked to the inflamm… Continue reading

Interactions Between Platelets and Inflammatory Monocytes Affect Sickness Behavior in Mice With Liver Inflammation
Patients with inflammatory liver disease commonly develop debilitating symptoms, called sickness behaviors, which arise via changes in brain function. Monocytes that produce tumor necrosis factor (TNF) interact with cerebral endothelial cells to activa… Continue reading

Alcohol Use and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Moderate drinking (vs abstinence) is associated with lower risk of CVD in the general population. We assessed whether alcohol use … Continue reading

Metabolic Circuit Involving Free Fatty Acids, microRNA 122, and Triglyceride Synthesis in Liver and Muscle Tissues
Effective treatments are needed for hepatic steatosis characterized by accumulation of triglycerides in hepatocytes, which leads to hepatocellular carcinoma. MicroRNA 122 (MIR122) is expressed only in the liver, where it regulates lipid metabolism. We … Continue reading
