Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hepatology
Scope & Guideline
Advancing liver health through groundbreaking research.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Clinical Research on Liver Diseases:
The journal emphasizes clinical studies that investigate the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of liver diseases such as Hepatitis, Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), and Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). - Transplantation Studies:
There is a strong focus on liver transplantation, including donor evaluation, transplantation techniques, surgical outcomes, and post-transplant complications. - Innovative Therapies and Biomarkers:
The journal includes research on emerging therapies, drug efficacy, and the identification of novel biomarkers for liver diseases, particularly in the context of personalized medicine. - Interventional Procedures:
Papers discussing various interventional procedures, including endoscopic and radiological techniques for managing liver diseases, are a core part of the journal’s scope. - Public Health and Epidemiology:
The journal addresses the public health implications of liver diseases, exploring epidemiological trends and health policies that affect liver health. - Basic and Translational Research:
It also covers experimental studies that provide insights into the pathophysiology of liver diseases, facilitating the translation of basic research findings into clinical applications.
Trending and Emerging
- Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD):
Recent publications indicate a growing focus on MAFLD, reflecting a shift from traditional NAFLD terminology and emphasizing the metabolic aspects of liver disease. - Advancements in Liver Transplantation Techniques:
There is an increasing number of studies exploring innovative techniques in liver transplantation, including living donor transplantation and the use of machine perfusion. - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning:
The application of AI and machine learning in diagnostic processes and treatment personalization is emerging as a significant trend, with several studies exploring its potential in hepatology. - Interventions in Hepatic Encephalopathy:
Research on new interventions for managing hepatic encephalopathy is trending, particularly studies examining dietary modifications and pharmacological approaches. - Public Health Initiatives and Screening Programs:
There is a notable increase in research focused on public health strategies, including screening and early intervention programs for high-risk populations, particularly for viral hepatitis. - Patient-Centric Outcomes and Quality of Life Assessments:
Studies investigating the impact of liver diseases on patients' quality of life and health-related outcomes are gaining prominence, reflecting a more holistic view of patient care.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Therapies:
There has been a noticeable decline in papers focused solely on traditional pharmacological treatments for liver diseases, possibly due to the rise of novel therapies and personalized medicine approaches. - Single-Center Studies:
The prevalence of single-center studies appears to be waning as the journal increasingly emphasizes multicenter trials and large cohort studies that provide more generalizable data. - Basic Science without Clinical Application:
Research that does not connect basic science findings to clinical applications is becoming less common, indicating a shift towards studies that demonstrate direct relevance to patient care. - Outdated Diagnostic Techniques:
There seems to be a reduction in studies focusing on older diagnostic methods, as newer, more effective technologies gain traction in the field. - Secondary Liver Diseases:
Topics related to secondary liver diseases, such as those caused by less common infectious agents or rare genetic conditions, are becoming less frequent, likely overshadowed by more prevalent conditions.
