Objective Knowledge of the epidemiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is
incomplete because liver biopsy cannot be performed on the general population to assess …

Purpose To use proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H‐MRS) to evaluate vertebral
marrow fat, and to determine whether bone density correlates with fat content and fat …

PURPOSE: To prospectively use hydrogen 1 ( 1 H) magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy
and dynamic contrast material–enhanced MR imaging to measure vertebral body marrow fat …

Purpose: To prospectively study the relationship among vertebral marrow fat content, marrow
diffusion indexes, and marrow and erector spinae muscle perfusion indexes in female …

Background. Probiotics have profound effect on nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in animal
models. We aimed to test the hypothesis that probiotics treatment was superior to usual …

Background The human gut microbiota has profound influence on host metabolism and
immunity. This study characterized the fecal microbiota in patients with nonalcoholic …

Background & Aims Healthy lifestyle is the most important management of non-alcoholic
fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed at assessing the efficacy of a community-based …

OBJECTIVES: Some studies suggest that non-obese patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver
disease (NAFLD) may have more severe disease. We aim to study the epidemiology and …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and
steatohepatitis (NASH) is limited by the need for liver biopsy. We aimed at testing the accuracy …

Purpose: To prospectively determine the diagnostic accuracy of diffusion-weighted magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging for discrimination of malignant neck nodes due to lymphoma, …
