Landmark new TERMINOLOGY for NAFLD today 👏👏 ALL liver societies for collaborating MASLD = steatosis + ≥1 metabolic factor + alcohol <20 g/day ♀️ or <30 g/day ♂️ MetALD = Steatosis + ≥1 metabolic factor + alcohol 20-50 g/day ♀️ or 30-60 g/day ♂️

What a powerful and important article by Christina Frangou. Thank you for sharing Dr. Cunningham's story in such an honest and open way. Society, and the medical profession in particular, need to read and listen to this message. theguardian.com/us-news/2023/s…

If this isn't a sign of a non-functional dept of Public Health, I don't know what is - except I guess an enormous E coli 0157 outbreak..... Please, GoA - we need effective leadership in PH immediately! It is time to recruit and hire a CMOH - I don't care what it takes.

First Nations mortality statistics offer a stark reminder of the challenges facing Indigenous health. This infographic shows a drop in First Nations life expectancy. Dr. Cara Bablitz, Indigenous Health Committee Chair, notes this reality is "unfathomable and unacceptable."

Internal AHS data shows the number of Albertans hospitalized with COVID-19 has surpassed 900, roughly doubling in about a month. Doctors, nurses warn hospitals are already under strain and respiratory virus season has yet to kick into high gear. Latest👇 cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Given our current number of up to date vaccinations this is a scary slide. We are likely starting to be hit by this and typically are 3-6 weeks behind Europe.

Tumor seeding is a dreaded complication of biopsy for HCC. But how common is it? A systematic review in AJG - The American Journal of Gastroenterology reports a rate of tumor seeding of 0.62% with even lower rates in recent years, likely due to new techniques Link: journals.lww.com/ajg/abstract/9…
