#ILC2019
@EASLedu @EASLnews a fond farewell to all from one of my favorite Paris landmarks. #ilc2018 was a tremendous success. Hope to see you @AASLDtweets #LiverMtg18 in San Francisco in the fall and #ilc2019 in Vienna next year

@AASLDtweets @EASLnews @EASLedu Well it’s a wrap for #LiverMtg18 on my end. Already looking forward to next year as well as #ilc2019 in Vienna from April 10-14

#Rockmeamadeus #ilc2019 @EASLnews when in Wien...I’m probably dating myself.

@EASLnews always worth an early arrival when in Vienna for #ILC2019 Palmenhaus is of my favorite buildings on the Schönbrunn palace complex: think imperial Austrian greenhouse on steroids

@EASLnews a little sightseeing ahead of #ILC2019 at the magnificent st stephen’s cathedral and its iconic multicolored roof. Also lucky to have their world class choir performing

@EASLnews last day before hitting the books! Even my toddler approves of Hawelka cafe’s strudel and chocolate cake! #ILC2019

@EASLnews If you’re taking the train to #ilc2019, get off at t KRIEAU not the MESSE stop unless you don’t mind the extra 1 km or so walk

@EASLnews @EASLedu Dr. Rinella: sugar and fat bad, coffee good for fatty liver (as you sip your morning joe and eat your strudel) #ILC2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:52 AM
@EASLnews @EASLedu nature vs. nurture in NAFLD. Dr. Rinella highlights animal experiments where maternal diet impacts offspring liver and the role of genes like PNPLA3 #ILC2019

@EASLnews @EASLedu @QAnstee highlights the high negative predictive value of NAFLD fibrosis score and FIB-4 but this drops beyond age 65 #ilc2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:52 AM
@EASLedu @EASLnews @QAnstee ELF May outperform NAFLD Fibrosis score for fibrosis discernment but not by much esp. F2 vs. F3. Also ELF is not free but NAFLD FS is #ILC2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:52 AM
@EASLnews @EASLedu @QAnstee #fibroscan in NASH has a high NPV but much lower positive predictive value. If you see patients with high fibroscan that you biopsy and they turn out to have little or no fibrosis you know this already #ILC2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:47 AM
@EASLedu @EASLnews @QAnstee MRE probably better sensitivity and specificity compared to fibroscan (but also a lot more $$$) #ILC2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:47 AM
@EASLedu @EASLedu @QAnstee 30% improvement in MRI-PDFF= 2 point improvement in NAS score has been touted but recent data from selonsertib trial suggests this is optimistic #ilc2019

@EASLedu @EASLnews At the Hepatology Arena where the audience sits around a hexagonal stage and hopefully no one gets mauled by a tiger! #ILC2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:47 AM
@EASLedu in all seriousness, I do like this very much. Definitely allows for more audience participation #ILC2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:47 AM
@EASLnews @EASLedu @jcgarciapagan presents a case of idiopathic portal hypertensionwith nodular regenerative hyperplasia caused by a TERT (telomerase) gene mutation. I see a similar case once a weeek... #ILC2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:47 AM
@easlnews @EASLedu as a general rule European colleagues are more comfortable starting anticoagulation for portal vein thrombosis even in the presence of coagulopathy and they seem to universally use LMWH not DOACs #ILC2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:47 AM
@EASLnews @EASLedu @jcgarciapagan presents a case of Budd-Chiari syndrome due to protein C deficiency. High fibroscan score in these patients is due to congestion not cirrhosis #ilc2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:47 AM
@EASLedu @EASLnews @jcgarciapagan goes over EASL stepwise Rx guidelines for BCS #ILC2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:47 AM
@EASLnews @EASLedu questions raised about the role of early hepatic outflow stenting in BCS. Clearly this is feasible in experienced hands but even there, still very challenging #ILC2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:47 AM
@EASLnews @EASLedu Prof. Castera’s version of risk stratification for NAFLD #ILC2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:42 AM
@EASLnews @EASLedu my version of risk stratification for NAFLD is almost identical: NAFLD FS > -1.455 or FIB-4>1.3 and LSM >7.5 kPa (instead of 8) prompts concern and liver bx #Ilc2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:42 AM
@EASLnews @EASLedu Prof. vilgrain: portocaval collaterals have 100% specificity for PHTN but not cirrhosis. Look for them in GE, paraumbilical, perirectal and perisplenic areas #ILC2019
December 3, 2024 at 4:42 AM
@EASLnews @EASLedu I like this combined imaging criteria approach proposed by Dr. Vilgrain but at what cost? #ILC2019
