    Abstract Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a potential adverse event of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), as well as of methylprednisolone pulsed therapy used in case of MS relapse. DILI may be induced by different mechanisms, including idiosyncratic reaction, autoimmune hepatitis or viral reactivation. In patients receiving the humanized anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) ocrelizumab, DILI has been rarely reported and was mostly associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation. Here we present the case of a woman with highly active relapsing-remitting MS who had experienced two episodes of DILI while receiving different DMTs, and was successfully switched to ofatumumab, a fully human anti-CD20 mAb, after a further event associated with ocrelizumab treatment and unrelated to HBV reactivation. Despite sharing the mechanism of action, differences in structure, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile, and use of ancillary drugs (only needed for ocrelizumab) may have accounted for the successful switch. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a successful switch from ocrelizumab to ofatumumab due to DILI. Ofatumumab may therefore represent a valid therapeutic option for patients experiencing DMTs- and ocrelizumab-induced liver injury, providing that HBV reactivation has been ruled out.

    Abstract We present a comparison of the forecasting performances of three Dynamic Factor Models on a large monthly data panel of macroeconomic and financial time series for the UE economy. The first model relies on static principal-component and was introduced by Stock and Watson (2002a, b). The second is based on generalized principal components and it was introduced by Forni, Hallin, Lippi and Reichlin (2000, 2005). The last model has been recently proposed by Forni, Hallin, Lippi and Zaffaroni (2015, 2016). The data panel is split into two parts: the calibration sample, from February 1986 to December 2000, is used to select the most performing specification for each class of models in a in- sample environment, and the proper sample, from January 2001 to November 2015, is used to compare the performances of the selected models in an out-of-sample environment. The metholodogical approach is analogous to Forni, Giovannelli, Lippi and Soccorsi (2016), but also the size of the rolling window is empirically estimated in the calibration process to achieve more robustness. We find that, on the proper sample, the last model is the most performing for the Inflation. However, mixed evidencies appear over the proper sample for the Industrial Production.

    Abstract Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS) is an established strategy for the management of complications of portal hypertension. Endoprosthetic infection ("endotipsitis") is a rare but serious and difficult-to-treat complication of TIPS placement. Here we report the occurrence of an infected thrombus complicating TIPS placement in a patient with extra-hepatic portal vein obstruction, recurrent variceal bleeding and portal biliopathy accompanied by recurrent cholangitis. Infected thrombotic material within TIPS could be removed only by employing rotational thrombectomy. This procedure revealed the presence of a biliary fistula which carried pathogens in the systemic circulation. The multiple episodes of sepsis did no longer recur following exclusion of the biliary fistula. This case highlights the possibility to use rotational thrombectomy for the management of complex cases of TIPS dysfunction.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a new AI-based tool called NAIF (NAFLD-AI-Fibrosis) in identifying individuals from the general population with advanced liver fibrosis (stage F3/F4). We compared NAIF's performance to two existing risk score calculators, aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) and fibrosis-4 (Fib4).
    Methods: To set up the algorithm for diagnosing severe liver fibrosis (defined as Fibroscan® values E ≥ 9.7 KPa), we used 19 blood biochemistry parameters and two demographic parameters in a group of 5,962 individuals from the NHANES population (2017-2020 pre-pandemic, public database). We then assessed the algorithm's performance by comparing its accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score values to those of APRI and Fib4 scoring systems.
    Results: In a kept-out sub dataset of the NHANES population, NAIF achieved a predictive precision of 72 %, a sensitivity of 61 %, and a specificity of 77 % in correctly identifying adults (aged 18-79 years) with severe liver fibrosis. Additionally, NAIF performed well when tested with two external datasets of Italian patients with a Fibroscan® score E ≥ 9.7 kPa, and with an external dataset of patients with diagnosis of severe liver fibrosis through biopsy.
    Conclusions: The results of our study suggest that NAIF, using routinely available parameters, outperforms in sensitivity existing scoring methods (Fib4 and APRI) in diagnosing severe liver fibrosis, even when tested with external validation datasets. NAIF uses routinely available parameters, making it a promising tool for identifying individuals with advanced liver fibrosis from the general population. Word count abstract: 236.

    Abstract Early after surgery, liver transplant (LT) recipients often develop weight gain due to an increase of caloric intake and fat mass (without recovery of muscle frame). This modification of body composition together with a negative metabolic impact of immunosuppressive drugs leads to a high prevalence of all the main metabolic disorders. Indeed, as expected, transplanted patients show a higher cardiovascular risk in comparison with general population. Notably, seeing the increase of mean age of transplanted population, metabolic disorders represent the true challenge for the transplant community. Considering the lack of evidences or clear indications about prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of metabolic disorders after LT, it would be mandatory to develop targeted further studies on this matter.

    Abstract Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a poorly treatable type of cancer and, along with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is the predominant type of primitive liver cancer in adults. The lack of understanding of CCA biology has slowed down the identification of novel targets and the development of effective treatments. While tumors share some general characteristics, detailed knowledge of specific features is essential for the development of effectively tailored therapeutic approaches. The Hedgehog (HH) signaling cascade regulates stemness biology, embryonal development, tissue homeostasis, and cell proliferation and differentiation. Its aberrant activation has been associated with a variety of solid and hematological human malignancies. Several HH-inhibiting compounds have been indeed developed as potential anticancer agents in different types of tumors, with Smoothened and GLI inhibitors showing the most promising results. Beside its well-established function in other tumors, findings regarding the HH signaling in CCA are still controversial. Here we will give an overview of the most important clinical and molecular features of cholangiocarcinoma, and we will discuss the available evidence of the crosstalk between the HH signaling pathway and the cholangiocarcinoma cell biology.
