In an effort to develop a simple method for identifying patients who may have fatty liver disease, Dr. Bedogni and colleagues used data from the Dionysos Nutrition and Liver Study to determine the degree to which drinking habits, anthropometry, and metabolic parameters contribute to the risk for the condition in 216 patients with suspected liver disease but no hepatitis B and C infection as well as in 280 age- and sex-matched controls. All participants were from the same town in northern Italy. The presence of fatty liver disease was confirmed via ultrasonography. Results were presented here by Vittorio di Maso, MD, another researcher at the Liver Research Center, at the 41st annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver.

为了发展出一个简单的方法於鉴定脂肪肝疾病病患，Bedogni 医师及其同僚使用迪奥尼修斯营养与肝脏研究的数据，对280位年龄与性别相符者之中的216位疑似有肝脏疾病但无B型或C型肝炎的病患，加以区别饮酒习惯、人体测量学、导致风险的代谢参数等，所有参与实验者都是来自义大利北部的一个城镇，藉由超音波扫瞄确定出现脂肪肝疾病；研究结果在欧洲肝脏研究学会第41届年会由前述肝脏研究中心的另一位研究员、Vittorio di Maso 医师发表。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
