Abstract:
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease afflicts 30% of the population and is tightly linked to the metabolic syndrome and development of cardiovascular disease and chronic liver disease. Regular ultrasound is currently used in liver steatosis diagnosing, but it is operator-dependent, fails to detect lower grades of steatosis, and is unable to graduate the degree of steatosis. Controlled attenuation parameter is a novel, ultrasound-based technique to accurately detect and grade steatosis. Further studies are needed to establish cut-offs, before it can be implemented in clinical practice.

Ethers from Alcohols: Alcohol Dehydration and Williamson Ether Synthesis
Ethers can be prepared from organic compounds by various methods. Some of them are discussed below,
Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.
