✦ Synopsis

A prospective study was undertaken in order to investigate the association between clinical and biochemical parameters and the histopathological findings in liver biopsies in the morbidly obese. Wedge liver biopsy specimens were taken at the beginning of the surgical procedure from 100 consecutive morbidly obese patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Histological abnormalities were found in almost all of the examined material (98 of loo), which ranged from mild fatty infiltration through inflammatory change and alcoholic hepatitis-like change to fibrosis and cirrhosis. The patients with abnormalities were divided into two groups: those with a single abnormality (n = 56) and those with two or more histopathological findings (n = 42). Age,

The relationship between two pathological eating syndromes, the night eating syndrome (NES) and bulimia, was examined in a sample of 1 74 morbidly obese adults. The prevalence of NES (15%) and bulimia (2%) was greater among the morbidly obese compared to the normal weight sample (under 1 % for both

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that can lead to hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis. Portal fibrosis in the absence of NASH, called isolated portal fibrosis (IPF), has received less attention and has not been classified as a spectrum

## Abstract Liver scans, biopsies, and function studies were reviewed in 63 cancer patients and correlated with autopsy material to determine the value of the liver scan in such patients. The scan is abnormal in 96% of patients with autopsy‐confirmed hepatic disease, but the scan pattern is of litt

Hepatocyte differentiation and proliferation are greatly affected by extracellular matrix (ECM). Primary hepatocytes cultured without matrix dedifferentiate over time, but matrix overlay quickly restores differentiation. ECM also is critical in liver regeneration where ECM degradation and reconstitu
