Effects of Oral Anticoagulants and Aspirin on Performance of Fecal Immunochemical Tests in Colorectal Cancer Screening

Posted on January 25, 2019 by Gastroenterology Journal

The fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is the tool most frequently used for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening worldwide. It is unclear how the use of aspirin and oral anticoagulants in the screening population affect the diagnostic performance of FIT. Continue reading →

PRC2 proteins EZH1 and EZH2 Regulate Timing of Postnatal Hepatocyte Maturation and Fibrosis by Repressing Gene Expression at Promoter Regions in Euchromatin in Mice

Posted on January 25, 2019 by Gastroenterology Journal

Little is known about mechanisms of postnatal hepatocyte maturation or chromatin regulation of genes that control fibrogenesis. We investigated transcription of genes that regulate fibrosis and the effects of chromatin compaction and the polycomb repre… Continue reading →

Accuracy of FibroScan Controlled Attenuation Parameter and Liver Stiffness Measurement in Assessing Steatosis and Fibrosis in Patients With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Posted on January 25, 2019 by Gastroenterology Journal

We estimated the accuracy of FibroScan vibration-controlled transient elastography controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurements (LSMs) in assessing steatosis and fibrosis in patients with suspected NAFLD. Continue reading →
