However, progress in the field is hindered by inadequate communication between these areas, such that mechanistic processes are rarely translated into clinical targets, and interventions are developed with an incomplete understanding of the potential mechanisms by which they work or for whom they work. To bridge this translational gap, we propose the psychobiological model of DGBIs—an integrated and testable model that illustrates how psychological mechanisms central to DGBIs interact with each other and with biological processes along the gut–brain axis. In this Personal View, we introduce our model, review current evidence in psychogastroenterology, and propose specific mechanisms and causal pathways that can be tested. With this model, we aim to unify research, clarify underlying mechanisms, and identify treatment targets, with the potential to transform future research in both psychogastroenterology and DGBIs.","PeriodicalId":56028,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":35.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144916214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With an estimated prevalence of 30% in the general population, MASLD is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. Apart from the underlying metabolic factors, MASLD development and progression are strongly influenced by social and commercial determinants of health, and an associated stigma, which perpetuate inequities and hinder access to high-quality clinical management. In this Personal View, we explore how social and commercial determinants of health shape environments that promote the development and progression of MASLD. We also examine how stigma acts as an underestimated barrier, contributing to diagnostic delays and impaired quality of life in people with MASLD. Based on an integrative perspective, we propose a comprehensive and multisectoral approach for the sustainable management of MASLD.","PeriodicalId":56028,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":35.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144911191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2022, only 13% of the 254 million people with chronic hepatitis B were diagnosed and 3% were treated, highlighting a major gap in care provision. We aimed to comprehensively review service delivery models and their outcomes across the hepatitis B care cascade.<h3>Methods</h3>For this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, Embase, and Scopus for observational and interventional studies of chronic hepatitis B service delivery models that reported care outcomes, published between May 1, 2013, and July 15, 2024, with no language restrictions. Care cascade outcomes were the proportion of people diagnosed with hepatitis B who were assessed for treatment eligibility; the proportion of eligible people who started antiviral therapy; the proportion retained in care; and the proportion on therapy who had HBV DNA viral suppression. We evaluated pooled outcomes across hospital-based specialist care; co-managed care between primary and specialist care; community screening with linkage to specialist care; community screening with passive linkage to care; community test and treat clinics; primary care; and integrated care with antenatal, non-communicable disease, HIV, prison health, and substance misuse services and clinics, using a generalised linear mixed model with logit link and study random effects. For within-study comparisons of different models, we used inverse variance weighting to estimate the pooled risk ratio (RR). Heterogeneity was assessed with <em>I</em><sup>2</sup>.

We assessed how endoscopists who regularly used AI performed colonoscopy when AI was not in use.<h3>Methods</h3>We conducted a retrospective, observational study at four endoscopy centres in Poland taking part in the ACCEPT (Artificial Intelligence in Colonoscopy for Cancer Prevention) trial. These centres introduced AI tools for polyp detection at the end of 2021, after which colonoscopies had been randomly assigned to be conducted with or without AI assistance according to the date of examination. We evaluated the quality of colonoscopy by comparing two different phases: 3 months before and 3 months after AI implementation. We included all diagnostic colonoscopies, excluding those involving intensive anticoagulant use, pregnancy, or a history of colorectal resection or inflammatory bowel disease. The primary outcome was change in adenoma detection rate (ADR) of standard, non-AI assisted colonoscopy before and after AI exposure. Multivariable logistic regression was done to identify independent factors affecting ADR.<h3>Findings</h3>Between Sept 8, 2021, and March 9, 2022, 1443 patients underwent non-AI assisted colonoscopy before (n=795) and after (n=648) the introduction of AI (median age 61 years [IQR 45–70], 847 [58·7%] female, 596 [41·3%] male).
