Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

The #JSGE @myueg.bsky.social symposium with #lenakristinconradi and @liverepi.bsky.social on using a metabolic switch in #pancreaticcancer for therapy and #MASLD respectively. Truly worth their #risingstar awards!

Tl;dr: Many patients with diagnosed or presumed MASLD will have elevated PEth, suggestive of MetALD/ALD. And, PEth is predictive of liver outcomes. Big thanks to the super talented Juan Vaz for leading this!

New from Juan Vaz in our group: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In >5400 patients with primary liver cancer (HCC), those with lower socio-economic parameters such as income levels have more advanced tumors at diagnosis, less frequently receive curative treatments and have poorer prognosis.

Cause-specific mortality in 13,099 patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in Sweden Data on cause-specific mortality in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are limited.

Interesting study from Alina Allen's group: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40105977/

Reassuring that MASLD diagnosis identified through screening led to weight loss and no major issues with increased anxiety.

No issues here!
Good luck to all applicants…. 🙏🏻
