Watching the never ending list of "impact of Covid-19 on ..." papers I'm surprised we don't already have the "impact of Covid-19 on the management of patients with Covid-19" study...
TACE for liver NET metastases (222 patients)
✅Median TTLP 19.3 mos
✅Median OS 5.3 yrs
✅OS ⬆️ in mRECIST responders (80.5 vs. 39.6 mos).
✅ Age, grade, liver involvement predict worse OS
Awesome study in @MDPIOpenAccess@GustaveRoussy@Beaujon_Rad https://t.co/buWT3p01rT
Cystic Fibrosis-related liver disease (2/2)
“red-flag” features to suspect PSVD in pts with PHT
1⃣ no liver anomalies
2⃣ LSM < threshold for cirrhosis
3⃣ coarse macronodular pattern
Great review by J. Dana, V. Vilgrain @Beaujon_Rad in @JHepatology https://t.co/wvknF2yla7
Cystic Fibrosis-related liver disease (1/2)
✅ PHT=main complication due to cirrhosis or PSVD
✅ US=key for diagnosis + follow-up
✅ Liver stiffness measurement may be helpful
Great review by J. Dana, V. Vilgrain @Beaujon_Rad in @JHepatology https://t.co/wvknF2yla7 #livertwitter
Colonic involvement in Acute Mesenteric Ischemia
1⃣ found in 28%
2⃣ most common in the right colon
3⃣ increased morbidity (SBS, PS) and mortality
➡️ should be searched for on CT!

Follow up of benign nodules in Budd Chiari or after Fontan with MRI
✅ 40% disappear
✅ 45% change in size and/or signal intensity
✅ changes in BCS >> Fontan
➡️ dynamics to be aware of !

In patients with #NOMI no bowel enhancement, bowel thinning, bicarbonate ≤15 mM and PT <40%
1⃣Stratify the risk of bowel necrosis
2⃣> @inteststroke score by @AlexandreNuzzo
Great study by P. Calame in @AmJGastro
Proud to be part of it !

@EASLnews what’s going on? Suddenly my tweeter feed is populated by hepatologists from all around the world excited like kids going to the theme park for the day! #ILC2021 Communicating energy! Enjoy!
55-yo male patient with chronic HBV infection but no cirrhosis. Surveillance US exam shows a 20mm nodule in the left liver lobe. The patient undergoes MRI for characterization. Simple question : am I allowed to call or an HCC ? @RadiologieUNIR#liver
Make sure to watch the great post-graduate course on Benign liver tumors with Valérie Vilgrain @giubrancatelli@valerie_paradis and Raneem Albazaz at #esgar2021. Available on-demand !!
Teduglutide induces a significant SB wall thickness ⬆️ that can be depicted by imaging <6 mo after treatment initiation. The degree of such ⬆️ may be associated with clinical response. Check out study in @AJCNutrition with @maximeronot and @franciscajoly https://t.co/NlTHSvw5xx
Found of quantitative imaging? We are too! With @Riccard49700689 we quantified the Pancreas Surface Lobularity on CT and found it to ⬆️ with age and BMI and to be > in men. Stimulating perspectives. Check out study in KJR https://t.co/6siiofI7vH
