   Abstract : Background: Detecting liver disease at an early stage is important, given that early intervention decreases the risk of developing cirrhosis and subsequently hepatocellular cancer (HCC). The non-invasive ultrasound-based shear wave elastography (SWE) has been used clinically for a decade to assess liver stiffness. READ MORE

4. 2. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease : an emerging liver disease

   Author : Cecilia Söderberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of the study was to evaluate what NAFLD is from a molecular perspective, what influences the disease progression and what the prognosis of the disease is. Fatty liver has earlier often been associated with excessive alcohol intake and only in the last two decades has it been viewed as a condition in non- drinkers i.e. READ MORE

5. 3. Microbial modulation of metabolic diseases

   Author : Antonio Molinaro; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiota; Glucose Metabolism; type 2 diabetes; NAFLD; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease;

   Abstract : The gut microbiota, the ensemble of microorganisms living in the gastrointestinal tract, and the host have a mutualist relationship. Alterations of this delicate equilibrium can lead to changes in microbiota composition and/or function leading to the onset of metabolic diseases (e.g., type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases).

6. 4. Systems and Network-based Approaches to Complex Metabolic Diseases

   Author : Muhammad Arif; Adil Mardinoglu; Thomas Sauter; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

   Abstract : The future of healthcare is personalized medicine, in which disease treatments are tailored based on the individual characteristics of each patient. To reach that objective, we need to obtain a better understanding of diseases. READ MORE

7. 5. Exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA) and Metabolic Disruption

   Abstract : Metbolic disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, liver lipid disorders and metabolic syndrome are increasing rapidly and have largely been attributed to genetic background and changes in diet, exercise and aging. However, there is now considerable evidence showing that other environmental factors, including environmental chemicals, may contribute to the rapid increase in the incidence of these metabolic diseases.
