Aim:To determine the computed tomography(CT)features of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)associated hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).methods:In this institutional review board approved study,we reviewed 38 patients with NAFLD(68.4%male;mean age 63 years)with histology confirmed HCC and triphasic liver *** images were independently reviewed by four readers blinded to clinical and pathology *** reviewers assessed HCC for arterial phase hyper enhancement(APHE),portal venous phase washout(PVWO),delayed phase washout(DPWO),and enhancing *** of cirrhotic morphology and portal hypertension(PH)were also *** final CT features were determined by majority and a fifth reader reviewed cases lacking ***-rater agreement was determined by prevalence-adjusted ***:mean HCC size was 3.6±2.8 cm(range,1.1-16.0 cm).The HCCs showed APHE in 92.1%,PVWO in 55.3%,DPWO in 81.6%,and enhancing capsule in 44.7%.Cirrhotic morphology was present in 65.8%and PH in 63.2%.Inter-rater agreement was moderate to almost perfect for APHE(0.74-1.0),cirrhosis(0.79-0.89),and PH(0.79-0.95),weak to perfect for DPWO(0.47-0.95)and poor for PVWO(0-0.42). ;Conclusion:NAFLD associated HCC demonstrate less frequent portal venous washout on CT which may affect their imaging diagnosis.

Purpose: The oxidative stress (OS) hypothesis of overtraining syndrome argues that increased production of free radicals through exercise cause muscle fatigue and damage resulting in lower athletic performance. Several studies have investigated OS immediately before and after exercise bouts in a training macrocycle. Our study aimed to compare OS of endurance athletes between a competition macrocycle and the immediate post-season recovery macrocycle. In addition, we aimed to identify athletes who experienced an unexplainable drop in athletic performance during the competition season in order to compare their OS to those who experienced no drop in performance. methods: Fifteen members of the University of Alaska Fairbanks cross country ski team volunteered for this study. Blood samples were taken in early February (“mid-season”) and late April (“post-season”). Participants completed questionnaires regarding physical activity and athletic performance at the time of the blood draws. Plasma was analyzed for 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), nitrotyrosine, nitric oxide (NOX), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Significance was determined by Wilcoxon and mann-Whitney tests. Results: Participants displayed significantly higher (p Conclusion: Signs of oxidative stress and mitigation during the post-season recovery macrocycle were higher in athletes who reported experiencing a drop in athletic performance during the competition season macrocycle.
