Background And Aims: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a gut microbiota-related disorder characterized by excessive bacterial density and/or abnormal microbiota composition in the small intestine. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of SIBO in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH) and to identify independent predictors.

Methods: We included 60 consecutive patients with SAH and 30 healthy controls (HC).

Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a condition associated with high mortality in the absence of liver transplantation. There have been various definitions proposed worldwide. The first consensus report of the working party of the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) set in 2004 on ACLF was published in 2009, and the "APASL ACLF Research Consortium (AARC)" was formed in 2012.

Spontaneous internal fistulae (cystocolonic, cystogastric and cystoenteric) have been described as potential complications of severe acute pancreatitis with pseudocyst or walled off necrosis (WON). Ours is possibly the first ever report of double internal fistulae (pancreatico-gastric and pancreatico-colonic) occurring as a spontaneous complication of acute pancreatitis.

Background And Aim: We aimed to study the etiologies and clinical profile and to describe the factors associated with mortality in acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients at our center.

Methods: Patients meeting the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) definition of ACLF were included. We studied etiologies and clinical profile and analyzed the factors associated with mortality in patients with ACLF.

Article Synopsis
  • MAFLD (Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease) is becoming more common, and it can lead to serious liver problems called MAFLD-ACLF, but what affects patient recovery isn't fully known yet.
  • In a study, researchers looked at data from patients with MAFLD-ACLF to understand their health conditions and see who survived after 90 days, finding that about 51% of patients did survive.
  • They discovered new scoring systems to better predict survival, which included factors like diabetes and the causes of liver damage, and these new scores worked better than older ones.
