Abstract

BACKGROUND & AIMS:
The relationship between vitamin D levels and chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection and treatment outcomes are poorly elucidated. We measured pre-treatment serum vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D3; 25[OH]D3) levels and determined their association with clinical parameters and treatment outcomes in active CHB patients without advanced liver disease enrolled in a global clinical trial.

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.

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.

Cirrhosis

Al-Hamoudi WK, Abdelrahman AA, Helmy A, Anil S, Khamis N, Arafah M, Alswat KA, Suwefy YM, Sanai FM, Al Faleh F, Abdo AA. The role of Fibroscan in predicting the presence of varices in patients with cirrhosis. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2015 Nov;27(11):1307-12.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIM:
Transient elastography is a relatively new, noninvasive method of measuring liver stiffness. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transient elastography and other noninvasive methods for the diagnosis of esophageal varices (EV) in patients with cirrhosis.

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.

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.
