Wilson’s disease patients bond over group outing

Source : http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/thane/Wilsons-disease-patients-b...

Thane: Twenty-six-year-old Janice Mendonca was a part of an outing organized by a support group on Saturday to a water park in the city and actively enjoyed every ride. Nothing exceptional apart from the fact that she is battling Wilson's disease, a genetic disorder for the past eight years. She participated in the outing with 24 others, who are also suffering from the disease.

Mendonca said, "People often look at us as if we are abnormal only because of a defect in a single chromosome. Being with those around me who know what I am going through, I feel like there is nothing we cannot do provided we take our medication and treatment.

Cardiovascular events in chronic hepatitis C: prognostic value of liver stiffness evolution

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26275081
Hepatitis C

Serres L, Vasseur P, Tougeron D, Gand E, Chagneau-Derrode C, Charier F, Rochd S, Silvain C. Cardiovascular events in chronic hepatitis C: prognostic value of liver stiffness evolution. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2015 Nov; 27(11):1286-92.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
Chronic hepatitis C is also a metabolic disease that may increase cardiovascular events. FibroScan is a diagnostic tool for fibrosis and a prognostic tool for cirrhosis complications and mortality. The aim of our study was to investigate the prognostic value of liver stiffness evolution and initial stiffness in cardiovascular events occurring in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

Recent Trends in the Diagnosis and Management of Biliary Atresia in Developing Countries

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26499012

Billiary Atresia

Ramachandran P, Safwan M, Reddy MS, Rela M. Recent Trends in the Diagnosis and Management of Biliary Atresia in Developing Countries. Indian Pediatr. 2015 Oct8;52(10):871-9.

Abstract

NEED AND PURPOSE OF REVIEW:
Biliary atresia is a progressive obstructive cholangiopathy and is fatal if left untreated within 2 years of life. Delay in referral is because of difficulties in differentiating it from physiologic jaundice and identifying an abnormal stool color. This paper presents an overview on the diagnosis and discusses the current strategies in the management of this disease in developing countries.

Expression in Liver Tissue of Biliary Atresia: A New Perspective in Etiopathogenesis

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26102172
– Billiary Atresia

Sira MM, Sira AM, Ehsan NA, Mosbeh A. P-Selectin (CD62P) Expression in Liver Tissue of Biliary Atresia: A New Perspective in Etiopathogenesis. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2015Nov; 61(5): 561-7.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:
The etiology of biliary atresia (BA) is still elusive. Inflammation plays a key role in bile duct and liver injury. The recruitment and accumulation of inflammatory cells is largely dependent on adhesion molecules. We aimed to investigate P-selectin (CD62P) expression in liver tissue in patients with BA compared with other neonatal cholestatic disorders.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:
To study the clinical, biochemical profile and outcome of patients with biliary atresia (BA) who underwent living related liver transplantation (LRLT) at authors' institute in the last 5 y (2008-2013).

METHODS:
Case records of the 20 patients diagnosed with biliary atresia who had undergone living related liver transplantation at authors' centre in the last 5 y were analysed.

Wilsonian's day out

On 29th November Sneha along with a panel of doctors from Jaslok hospital organized a day picnic to TIkujini wadi water park for Wilson’s disease patients who were accompanied by both or one parent. Truly a memorable day. I will go out on a limb and say this one behalf other Wilson’s patients that ‘’It was one day when we looked forward towards meeting with our doctors with excitement and enthusiasm that knew no bounds.’’ The picnic was fully sponsored right from our meals to the transport.
