โฆ Synopsis
Most of you are aware that Dr. Jorge Gumucio has completed his tenure as editor of the HEPATOLOGY Elsewhere section. During his stewardship it has become a thoroughly enjoyable section for many of us to peruse. Not only are we able to keep in pace with all the developments in liver disease that are published in journals other than HEPATOLOGY, but we can also obtain a bird's eye view of the literature in a succinct and critical manner. Therefore I would like to thank Dr. Gumucio for his exemplary commitment to HEPA-TOLOGY Elsewhere during the past three years. Because this issue heralds the beginning of a new editorial office for this section, I would like to introduce myself as the new editor. I hope to continue the excellent tradition of this section. Doing things somewhat differently from my predecessors, I have assembled an advisory board to assist me in selecting articles and soliciting reviewers. The members of the advisory board are listed above and each of them, by having unique expertise in their specialty of interest, will contribute and make this section a truly comprehensive review of the literature on the studies of liver physiology and pathophysiology. Agam, if any of you would like to contribute to this section, please contact one of us; we are always ready to listen.
