We are proud to announce that today, WHO/Europe & @EASLnews launched the European Health Alliance on Alcohol at the EASL Congress.
This alliance of health professionals met for the first time last year in December, and will accelerate work to reduce alcohol-related harms!
Calling all Healthcare Professionals:
AI is rapidly transforming our world, and healthcare stands at the forefront of this revolution.

What can we do to prevent falls in patients with cirrhosis?
4% of admitted patients have falls
Falls carry increased risk of death
Great study from @nadaabedin in @HepCommJournal

First episode of #HE is a turning point for patients with liver cirrhosis - amazing talk by Dominique Thabut. We need to rethink our approach and establish easy screening tools in our daily routine. #easl
Continuous terlipressin infusion improved hand grip strength by ~11% relative to baseline and significantly reduced ascites volume

Palliative care is holistic care. We need a shift in mindsets. Early access to palliative care not only improves quality of life of patients with liver cirrhosis, but is also a great support on the way to liver transplantation. Fantastic talk by @NnekaUfereMD#TLM23@AASLDtweets
At all medical conferences I’ve been to lately, the #AI session was scheduled in a small room which immediately overflowed… 🙄 this includes @myESMO#ESMO23 & @AASLDtweets. AI with substantial clinical evidence deserves an appropriate stage. Pic: *overflow area* at #TLM23
How are non invasive tests going to change our treatment? Brilliant talk on individual personalized testing, interpretation of tests and treatment by @ebtapper#TLM23@AASLDtweets
Liver Health is the dependent variable
Critical to consider as we plan to reduce the burden of MASLD, and tailor our interventions for patients @nljonassaint#TLM23
We have the ability to alter the burden of chronic liver disease globally - amazing kick off at the #TLM23 addressing the global burden of chronic liver disease and social determinants of health
I am disgusted by images of an antisemitic mob in Dagestan.
The global rise in antisemitism & Islamophobia is terrifying. Hatred does nothing to generate solidarity or bring about peace.
We cannot lose our common humanity. In times of darkness, it's all we have left.
“Israel’s 24-hour notice that people in Northern Gaza must leave their land, homes and hospitals is outrageous – this represents an attack on medical care and on humanity.
We have consistently seen dehumanising language and this violence is a manifestation of that.
