It was a real pleasure to interview Scott Isaacs and @paulnbrennan.bsky.social regarding their recent paper on 'Anti-diabetic medications in MASLD' in Frontline Gastroenterology - listen below

fgbmj.podbean.com/e/role-of-anti-diabetic-medications-in-the-management-of-masld/

This overview summarizes clinical tools that assess nutritional status and physical frailty, with the benefits and future challenges of a multidisciplinary team approach to optimise muscle health and physical fitness in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.

Time for the liver community to say it loudly, nonjudgementally & consistently:

There is no safe level of alcohol consumption

@easlnews.bsky.social is leading the way to defend mandatory labels on alc. beverages in the EU.
It’s time for @aasldnews.bsky.social to do the same in the US
#liversky

Furthermore, there seems to be limited coverage/inclusion of LMICs and non-English language options for interventions. Standardised reporting and a focus on undeserved populations will improve and maximise the potential impact of telemonitoring interventions

Whilst telemonitoring represents an opportunity to increase access to healthcare across settings and prioritise resource delivery - there are significant limitations in the reporting of current studies which prevent understanding of cohorts engaging with interventions

The correct term is conjunctival icterus.

The expression "scleral icterus" was previously and incorrectly perpetuated. See this scathing remark in @jama.com by an ophthalmologist.
