Timing of Cholecystectomy in Children with Biliary Pancreatitis http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26308314 Lin TK, Palermo JJ, Nathan JD, Tiao GM, Hornung LN, Fei L, Abu-El-Haija M. Timing of Cholecystectomy in Children With Biliary Pancreatitis. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2016 Jan; 62(1):118-21. Abstract BACKGROUND: Biliary pancreatitis (BP) is common in adults and children. Current standard of care is to perform a cholecystectomy (CCE) to decrease the recurrence risk of pancreatitis. Controversy exists as to the timing of surgery, early versus delayed surgical intervention. Adult literature suggests a greater benefit of early CCE. Comparatively, there is limited pediatric literature as to the optimal timing of a CCE in children. We report a retrospective case series of children with BP who underwent early versus late CCE.

Physical Activity Is Prospectively Associated With Adolescent Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26252921 .NAFLD Anderson EL, Fraser A, Howe LD, Callaway MP, Sattar N, Day C, Tilling K, Lawlor DA. Physical Activity Is Prospectively Associated With Adolescent Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2016 Jan; 62(1):110-7. Abstract OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to assess whether objectively measured physical activity at mean ages 12 and 14 years are prospectively associated with ultrasound scan liver fat and stiffness (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase [AST], and γ-glutamyl transferase [GGT]) assessed at mean age 17.8 years.
