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.

Living Related Liver Transplantation for Biliary Atresia in the Last 5 years: Experience from the First Liver Transplant Program in India http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25708058 Malhotra S, Sibal A, Bhatia V, Kapoor A, Gopalan S, Seth S, Jerath N, Wadhawan M, Gupta S. Living Related Liver Transplantation for Biliary Atresia in the Last 5 years: Experience from the First Liver Transplant Program in India. Indian J Pediatr. 2015 Oct; 82(10):884-9. 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.

Serological markers of autoimmunity in children with hepatitis A: relation to acute and fulminant presentation http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26062080 Abdel-Ghaffar TY, Sira MM, Sira AM, Salem TA, El-Sharawy AA, El Naghi S. Serological markers of autoimmunity in children with hepatitis A: relation to acute and fulminant presentation. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2015 Oct; 27(10):1161-9 Abstract OBJECTIVES: Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection tends to be a self-limiting disease without serious sequelae, but fulminant hepatitis, with a high mortality, develops in 0.1-0.2% of the cases. Sometimes, HAV infection precipitates autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). We aimed to assess the frequency and clinical significance of serologic markers of autoimmunity during hepatitis A infection with an acute or fulminant presentation compared with those in AIH.

Hepatitis B Virus Revaccination With Standard Versus Pre-S Vaccine in Previously Immunized Patients With Celiac Disease. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2015 Oct; 61(4):400-3. Abstract OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have suggested that hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccines may be less immunogenic in individuals with celiac disease (CD). A pre-S vaccine (Sci-B-Vac) has demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared with standard HBV vaccines in several diseases. We compared the short-term immunogenicity of a pre-S vaccine with a HBV vaccine (Engerix B) for repeat vaccination of seronegative, previously immunized patients with CD.
