Mushroom poisoning season is here
In the midwest, it used to occur between 9/15 & 10/7 until the past 5 y but now happens earlier.
We don’t do enough to warn the public about #amatoxin poisoning
@FDA has expanded access to #silibinin so that’s a positive.

It’s finally here‼️
🎉 Baveno VIII has arrived — just in time for some good summer reading ☀️📖
Time to dive into the latest consensus on portal hypertension from @BavenoCoop
Enjoy! 😉

💉 GLP-1 RAs after liver transplantation: safe and effective?
In a multicenter study, GLP-1 RAs reduced weight, BMI & HbA1c without affecting graft function, immunosuppression levels, rejection or major adverse cardiovascular events.

🚨 Do cardiovascular or metabolic comorbidities impact STRIDE outcomes in uHCC? Post-hoc analysis of HIMALAYA in Liver Cancer! @ResearchKarger@LorenzaRimassa@StephenLChan1
👉 87% of patients had cardiovascular or metabolic comorbidities 👉 48-month OS with STRIDE: 28.0% (with cardiovascular) vs 21.7% (without) 👉 Long-term survival (≥36 mo): 28.2% (cardiovascular) and 22.6% (metabolic) 👉 No new safety signals — comorbidities should not preclude STRIDE!

💡REVIEW💡
Noninvasive tests (NITs) are changing post-LT care. This review summarizes the evidence for assessing graft fibrosis, steatosis, and portal hypertension, with a practical approach to personalized graft monitoring. #LiverTwitter#Transplantationdoi.org/10.1097/LVT.00000000…
🎉 We're proud to announce that our journal has achieved an Impact Factor of 40.1, now the highest in the field.

🏛️ A historic moment for liver health.
Yesterday at the 79th World Health Assembly, Member States adopted the resolution "Steatotic liver disease: a missing piece in the global noncommunicable disease response" — the first time liver disease has ever been formally recognised within the global NCD agenda.
This is not a symbolic gesture. It is a mandate.
For too long, steatotic liver disease — affecting an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide — has been absent from national health plans, NCD financing frameworks, and government accountability mechanisms. That changes now.
With this resolution, WHO Member States are called upon to: ✅ Integrate liver health into national NCD strategies ✅ Include liver health indicators in NCD monitoring frameworks ✅ Align health financing with integrated, prevention-centred care
As Professor Debbie Shawcross, EASL Secretary General, said at our WHA79 side event yesterday: "The NCD community has fought for decades to put prevention at the centre of health systems. Liver disease has been a missing piece. With this resolution, we have a mandate. Now we need governments to make it count."
The evidence is overwhelming. The EASL–Lancet Commission 2.0 estimates 780 preventable deaths per day and €55 billion in annual economic costs from liver disease in Europe alone.
The vote has been cast. Now the real work begins — and EASL will be there every step of the way.
