In this episode, Naim Alkhouri, Mike Betel, Michelle Long and Jeff McIntyre join Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to look back at The Liver Meeting 2024. This conversation reviews the late-breaker presentation on efimosermin, a q4w FGF-21 agent and the "FDA Corner" session. Jörn begins the discussion by highlighting a paper from the later breaker session on efimosfermin alfa, an FGF-21 agent dosed q4w. He notes that after only six doses (24 weeks), efimosfermin alfa demonstrated significant increases in fibrosis regression and lowering NAS score. To Jörn, this result, coupled with others on efruxifermin and pegozafermin, suggest that FGF-21s are likely to play a significant role in MASH therapy once approved. After Roger and Mike note their enthusiasm about the drug class and this study, Jörn mentions a study with 96-week efruxifermin that data demonstrates prolonged efficacy. As he points out, this matters because while studies of an earlier FGF-21 candidate suggested that antibodies might develop in FGF-21 therapy, that does not appear to be an issue here. Mike asks the group why they feel placebo performs so well in clinical trials. Jörn suggests that working with a compassionate clinical care team in dealing with the patient leads to better performance on diet and exercise and, as a result, increased placebo response to what we might find in general community practice.Michelle praises the FDA Corner session, particularly the agency's transparency and willingness to engage industry and academia in finding paths to move away from biopsy. She also notes some of the practical challenges inherent of moving away from biopsy using data from earlier trials with an outmoded histology reader setup. She is optimistic about the scientific community coming together to address these issues. Jeff praises the agency for an "amazing" session.
Epithelium is one of the four basic tissue types (the other three are muscle tissue, nerve tissue, and connective tissue). It is found throughout the body—covering it; lining organs, vessels, and cavities; and forming glands. It absorbs nutrients, transports electrolytes, secretes hormones, and regulates body temperature by producing sweat. We begin with some general principles of how epithelial tissue is organized, and then we describe its various components. After listening to this AudioBrick, you should be able to: List the two types of epithelium (covering/lining and glandular) and describe their functions. Describe the structure and histologic features of epithelial tissue. Explain how covering/lining epithelium is classified. Describe the histologic features of glandular epithelium. Describe the five types of epithelial intercellular junctions.

CardioNerds (Amit Goyal) join Dr. Merna Hussien, Dr. Akhil Kallur, Dr. Abhinav Saxena, and Dr. Brody Deb from the MedStar Georgetown - Washington Hospital Center in DC for a stroll around Rock Creek Park as they discuss an unusual case of cobalt cardiomyopathy. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Nana Afari Armah. Episode audio was edited by CardioNerds Intern Christiana Dangas. The case is of a middle-aged woman with a past medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and bilateral hip replacements, who presented with subacute progressive exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, and constitutional symptoms and was found to have SCAI Stage C cardiogenic shock. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, 20-25%) and a moderate pericardial effusion. Cardiac catheterization revealed biventricular failure with elevated filling pressures. A cardiac MRI showed diffuse late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the left ventricle. Endomyocardial biopsy showed nonspecific chronic inflammation. However, the evidence of mitochondrial heavy metal toxicity and elevated cobalt levels made the diagnosis of cobalt cardiomyopathy. The patient underwent revision of hip joint implants to ceramic implants and started chelation therapy. However, due to persistent stage D heart failure despite normalization of cobalt levels, she underwent orthotropic heart transplantation.

Case MEdia - Cobalt Cardiomyopathy Pearls - Cobalt Cardiomyopathy A good history goes a long way in diagnosing non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). Common problems can have uncommon presentations requiring a high degree of suspicion for diagnosis. Imaging features can overlap between causes of NICM. History helps in targeting further histological workup and uncovering the root cause. Multidisciplinary effort is essential in making a rare diagnosis. Taken from1 - Singh M, Krishnan M, Ghazzal A, Halushka M, Tozzi JE, Bunning RD, Rodrigo ME, Najjar SS, Molina EJ, Sheikh FH. From Hip to Heart: A Comprehensive Evaluation of an Infiltrative Cardiomyopathy. CJC Open. 2021 Nov 1;3(11):1392–5. Notes - Cobalt Cardiomyopathy How common is cobalt cardiomyopathy? When should it be suspected? Cobalt cardiomyopathy is incredibly rare, with only a handful of reported cases. 2 It is also known as beer drinkers' cardiomyopathy, as cobalt was added to beer for fortification in Quebec 3, where it was first reported. Cobalt cardiomyopathy is characterized by its rapidly progressive nature, the presence of low voltages on EKG, and diffuse infiltration. Patients also complained of a previous history of anorexia and weight loss and were found to have polycythemia and thyroid abnormalities on labs. This syndrome was very similar to wet beriberi except for the absence of a therapeutic response to thiamine. Taken from - 2 Later, this was noted in patients with total metal hip arthroplasty 4–6, especially in patients with metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty, which led to corrosion and leakage of cobalt into the bloodstream. The syndrome in these patients was similar to those in beer drinkers from Quebec. This figure, taken from 2, shows the reports of Cobalt cardiomyopathy after cobalt alloy prostheses. [HX1] What is the pathophysiology of cobalt cardiomyopathy? Cobalt has a variety of effects on the heart, both microscopically and biochemically.Cobalt may have multiple calcium-mediated cardiac effects and may also interfere with the Krebs cycle and ATP generation by mitochondria. Histology may show modest changes with no inflammatory response o...
This conversation contains the first half of Roger Green's interview with PharmaNest Founder and CEO Mathieu Petitjean. After Matt tells the audience a little about his background and PhramaNest, the two discuss what Matt considered the key strategic takeaways for PharmaNest from the various EASL Congress presentations, abstracts and discussions. Before answering the question, Matt describes the core services his company offers: "PharmaNest specializes in digital pathology. Four years ago, we put down the hypothesis that the histological phenotype of fibrosis should be quantified in a high-resolution, sophisticated way." He goes on to state their core proposition for MASLD: "The big idea here is that fibrosis equals phenotype." He proceeds to describe his offerings in greater detail before offering the underlying value of computed histology: fibrosis is a continuous variable that is scored in discrete categories under the NASH-CRN model that drives FDA analysis. With this as context, he answers the question by describing three kinds of MASLD clinical trial designs. The first, earliest trials had a single pathologist reading histological slides. The method is not precise, but the drugs were not very good, and none were ultimately approved. The second set of trials relied on more rigorous methods for pathologists to read histology slides, with multiple readers and robust adjudication systems. Also, the drugs in this second set of trials were more efficacious, so that NASH-CRN, while a blunt instrument, could adequately assess efficacy. For the third set of trials, Matt believes non-invasive tests (NITs) are likely to suffice.

CardioNerds meet with fellows from The Christ Hospital, Drs. Hanad Bashir, Hyunsoo Chung, and Dalia Aziz to discuss the following case that highlights angioleiomyoma: A 60-year-old woman with a past medical history significant for breast cancer (on tamoxifen) presented as a transfer to our facility for a clot-in-transit. She had initially presented to the outside hospital after progressive dyspnea on exertion and recent syncope. She was found on an echocardiogram to have a right atrial mass spanning into the right ventricle. CTA of the chest and abdomen/pelvis demonstrated extensive thrombus burden spanning from the IVC into the right ventricle. She was transferred to our facility for intervention. Endovascular attempts were unsuccessful, at which point she underwent surgical thrombectomy. Gross examination of the mass revealed a cylindrical shape, homogeneous tan color, rubbery soft tissue, measuring 25.5 cm in length and 2.3 cm in diameter. Histology confirmed the presence of angioleiomyoma. A second, smaller mass (5.2cm long and 4mm in diameter) was removed from under the tricuspid valve, with histology consistent with leiomyoma. Estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor staining were strongly positive, leading to the discontinuation of tamoxifen. Given the presence of uterine fibroids identified on the CT scan, there was concern about a uterine origin. A hysterectomy is planned for her in the near future. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Wojciech Mazur. Episode audio was edited by student Dr. Adriana Mares. US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds!

Case Media - The Tall Tail Heart: Angioleiomyoma – The Christ Hospital Pearls - The Tall Tail Heart: Angioleiomyoma – The Christ Hospital Although evaluation of cardiac mass by echocardiography can provide information such as size, location, and morphology, adjunctive cross-sectional imaging may be used depending on the need for further temporal resolution (CT) or tissue characterization via cardiac MRI (CMR). If suspicious for elevated metabolic activity, there should be consideration of FDG-PET. Tamoxifen (a selective estrogen receptor modulator) is an agent used for breast cancer therapy. However, its use has been associated with endometrial hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, endometrial and uterine malignancy. Increased risk of malignancy has been seen more often in post-menopausal women and is dose and time-dependent. Clot in transient is a mobile thrombus, typically within the right heart structures. It is estimated to occur in 4-18% of patients with pulmonary embolism and is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality. Treatment includes surgical embolectomy, endovascular embolectomy, systemic thrombolysis, catheter-directed thrombolysis, or systemic anticoagulation. Angioleiomyoma is a rare benign pericystic tumor that most commonly affects the extremities. There are case reports of other affected sites, including the uterus. Invasion into the cardiac structures is exceedingly rare. The only established treatment for angioleiomyoma is surgical resection. Show Notes - The Tall Tail Heart: Angioleiomyoma – The Christ Hospital Syncope Syncope is a transient loss of consciousness secondary to reduced blood flow to the brain. Often, certain presentations are mislabeled as syncope, such as seizure disorders, posttraumatic loss of consciousness, and cataplexy. An organized diagnostic approach should be used to reduce hospital admissions and medical costs and increase diagnostic accuracy. Syncope can be divided into five general subgroups. 1) Neurally mediated reflex syncope (carotid sinus syndro...

Cancer biopsies are scary. The patient gets tissue removed from his or her body, the sample gets sent off to the lab and then there's the agonizing wait for the results. Dr. Stephen Boppart of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, both a physician and an engineer, is working on instant biopsies that will produce results in minutes. Using laser light and artificial intelligence, Dr. Boppart and his colleagues have been able to identify cancers early and accurately. Moreover, this technique promises to identify conditions in the body that might lead to future cancers by looking at tiny vesicles, liquid-filled sacs that act as messengers. His "Town Talk" sponsored by Telluride Science, was recorded at the Telluride Mountain Village Conference Center in Colorado. The program was moderated by veteran broadcast journalists Judy Muller and George Lewis.
Season 4, Episode 3
NASH-TAG 2023 proved to be a watershed moment for Fatty Liver disease as exciting drug development readouts, powerful academic work on non-invasive tests and the willingness to dive into the toughest questions aligned in Deer Valley, Utah. In this weekend's conversation series, Surfing NASH reviews its diverse coverage of the conference by showcasing key excerpts across six recordings with various KOLs, patient advocates and stakeholders.This conversation with Naim Alkhouri, Amy Articolo and Jörn Schattenberg begins with Naim illustrating some of the high points of the meeting. First, he recaps the resmetirom data. He then highlights that Intercept's study of patient response to obeticholic acid (OCA) revealed improvements among the F3 population. He concludes that in the wake of these aforementioned results, there remains plenty of opportunity to improve and other biotechs “are still in the game” with the energy to back them. Jörn notes the high level of engagement from academia in supporting development through the consortia, NIMBLE and LITMUS. Amy credits the collaborative spirit of the meeting and the milestones achieved in improving the field's understanding of how best to utilize NITs to provide insight and serve patient needs. Roger Green steers conversation toward the challenges of payers and gaps in therapeutic efficacy for certain populations. He connects these ideas to slides presented by Naim on AI-driven zonal analysis developed by HistoIndex. The assessment provides a geographic vantage point that offers perspective on how to combine agent benefits and trial emerging opportunities. Amy agrees that some of the complex analytics will help pharma build its case for patients. Naim questions what we call “futility” – if patients stay the same, are they futile? He suggests that AI can help us determine whether people who do not reduce fibrosis are actually benefiting from therapy. Roger notes that Naim outlined three categories: patients whose fibrosis regressed, others who progressed and a third group somewhere in the middle yet to be defined. Naim agrees and underscores that with the non-invasive tests available, we can learn far more than what's known today. Amy responds with questions around how tests will be used practically, noting that stacked tests are pivotal to the story. As the conversation ends, Jörn notes biopsy is only one way to generate a conditional endpoint for drug approvals.
In an exclusive interview, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of HistoIndex, Dr. Dean Tai, joins Fatty Liver Researcher Prof. Dr. Jörn Schattenberg on Surfing the NASH Tsunami podcast with host, Roger Green. The trio discuss pertinent questions stemming from data derived from Phase 2 trial results of aldafermin and resmetirom whereby liver volume reduction was achieved in a considerably abbreviated period. HistoIndex was able to subsequently investigate fibrosis reduction in these studies by conducting AI-assisted histologic assessment to gather a deeper understanding of fibrosis dynamics on a continuous scale.Jörn introduces the corresponding poster held at NASH-TAG 2023, which reviews the application and compelling results of the qFibrosis® and qSteatosis® products. Dean then elucidates how AI-assisted zonal mapping of the liver delivers a targeted and statistically-improved assessment of fibrosis reduction. Interestingly, two distinctly different fibrosis regression patterns emerged between the aldafermin and resmetirom cohorts. The implication: highly-precise assessment of liver slides is sparking a spate of new questions surrounding therapeutic possibilities. Jörn offers two cogent observations. First, these technologies can drastically improve understanding of how much change in fibrosis really occurs. He points out that while many different MOAs are trialed in comparable populations, it may be that not all drugs are affecting fibrosis regression by the same mechanism. With the technology implemented by HistoIndex, researchers can now begin to assess the nuances of how and where these drugs act.A different, but critically important idea emerges: patients deserve to have the fullest extent of utility extrapolated from their donated tissue. There is also noted to be a plethora of existing data containing what Dean describes as “a gold mine” for retrospective analysis. The group continues on to explore and compare the myriad of potential future applications of these tools. It becomes clear that advancements in AI-based digital pathology are paving a path for an entirely new, imaginative line of thinking for the Fatty Liver field.

Diagnosing diseases requires understanding of how cells respond to different medical conditions. Histology is a common two-dimensional way of studying such disease abnormalities, however major diseases are associated with three-dimensional cellular and tissue architectural changes. Dr Cheng's team has created X-ray histotomography, the first 3D imaging method that allows digital cell and tissue diagnostics from entire tissue samples and small organisms.Read more in Research OutreachRead the original article: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.44898

Lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer and so it is fitting that we start the first of our disease-specific oncology series with this diagnosis. This week, we start our discussion on metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, focusing on NSCLC without driver mutations. * The approach to treatment of a patient with widespread metastatic NSCLC (mNSCLC) is very different than a patient without distant disease, which highlights why we do what we do:- Important to complete staging (discussed in prior episodes) to determine the extent of disease- Important to check molecular testing (looking for mutations in the cancer cells) and IHC for tumor proportion score (TPS) helps determine treatment options * Choosing a treatment is based on:- Histology - cannot use pemetrexed or bevacizumab in squamous cell - Platinum - Carboplatin is usually used (as opposed to our prior discussions about using Cisplatin because of LACE pooled analysis data)-- Why is Cisplatin not a great idea? Cisplatin should not be used if patients have (***high yield to know cisplatin eligibility criteria!!***): --- Poor performance status--- Patients with eGFR 50% can get IO monotherapy (spared chemotherapy)---- KEYNOTE 024: approval for pembrolizumab monotherapy in patient with PDL1>50%----- Study compared pembro to platinum doublet----- OS 70% vs. 50% at one year---- IMPOWER110: approval for atezolizumab monotherapy----- Study compared atezo to chemotherapy----- OS 64.9% vs 50% at 12 months--- Patients with score 50% WITHOUT SYMPTOMS: IO alone- In PDL1 >50% WITH SYMPTOMS: Chemo + IO- In PDL1
