After highlighting the steep rise in alcohol-related liver disease in young women, we now highlight an even bigger problem in our children. The highest prevalence of lifetime alcohol use for 11-year-olds (34% girls) was observed in the UK. @Inst_of_Liver

Just realized that today marks my 100 months working as a scientist! 🥳 Still as passionate as ever (despite the usual ups and downs).
Grateful to @FWOVlaanderen and @ugent for their continued support!
Met Robert Kennedy junior wordt een antivaxer de minister van Gezondheidszorg in de Verenigde Staten.
Voor wetenschappers is een controlegroep zeer interessant.
Voor de Amerikanen is dit echter geen goed nieuws.
New study on pediatric #MASLD from #LiverGhent
👉Adipose tissue IR occurs early in steatosis
👉Children with obesity but low adipose tissue IR had lower CAP and ALT

@HoebekePiet Anti-lgbtqi, tegen abortus, pogingen om de verkiezingsuitslag te vervalsen... Dat hij niet eens als een radicale republikein gezien wordt zegt alles.
📰Poster awards time!
Congratulations to the poster awardees for their remarkable achievements! 🏆🌟
We applaud their dedication, hard work, and the valuable knowledge shared with the scientific community. #EASLCongress 2023
MAESTRO-NASH is a positive trial
Resmetirom improved NASH resolution and reduced fibrosis at 52-weeks. It is safe.
Is it a landmark study? Yes
Will it change NASH? Depends on cost, adherence in real world, and effect on clinical outcomes #EASLCongress#LiverTwitter
On my way to the #EASLCongress. And what better way to travel than by the Nightjet train? Eco-friendly and adventurous!
I even managed to squeeze in a couple of hours sleep 🙃
@HansVlierberghe@uzgent@ugent_fge Inderdaad mooi dat er meer draagvlak komt om hierover kritisch na te denken.
Zo ook deze week nog in de populaire avondshow van Arjen Lubach!

In a systematic review and meta-analysis, we investigated the impact of light and moderate alcohol consumption on progressive NAFLD.
Congratulations to Louise and Robbe for the hard work!
