Factors Determining δ-Bilirubin Levels in Infants With Biliary Atresia http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25564820 Ye W, Rosenthal P, Magee JC, Whitington PF; Childhood Liver Disease Research and Education Network. Factors Determining δ-Bilirubin Levels in Infants With Biliary Atresia. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2015 May; 60(5):659-63. Abstract OBJECTIVES: δ-Bilirubin (Bδ) forms when bilirubin conjugates covalently bind to albumin by way of nonenzymatic transesterification in patients with cholestasis. Infants with cholestasis with biliary atresia form Bδ. The aim of the present study was to investigate the factors determining serum Bδ concentrations in infants with biliary atresia.

Use of Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus to Prevent Cholangitis in Biliary Atresia After Kasai Operation. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2015 May; 60(5):654-8. Abstract OBJECTIVES: Recurrent cholangitis may aggravate cholestatic liver cirrhosis in biliary atresia (BA) after the Kasai operation. This pilot study aimed to investigate whether Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus has the prophylactic efficacy for recurrent cholangitis in comparison with the conventional neomycin prophylaxis.

Outcomes of infants born to women infected with hepatitis B http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25896839 .- HepatitisB (http://www.childrenliverindia.org/diseases/term/40) Schillie S, Walker T, Veselsky S, Crowley S, Dusek C, Lazaroff J, Morris SA, Onye K, Ko S, Fenlon N, Nelson NP, Murphy TV. Outcomes of infants born to women infected with hepatitis B. Pediatrics. 2015 May; 135(5):e1141-7. Abstract BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Perinatal exposure is an important mode of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission, resulting in chronic disease in ∼90% of infected infants. Immunoprophylaxis recommended for infants born to hepatitis B surface antigen-positive mothers reduces up to 95% of perinatal HBV infections. We sought to identify factors associated with perinatal HBV transmission.

Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding in childhood: development of the sheffield scoring system to predict need for endoscopic therapy. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2015 May; 60(5):632-6. Abstract BACKGROUND/AIMS: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition in childhood. In adults with UGIB, validated scoring systems exist, but these are not applicable to children. The aim of this study was to construct a clinical scoring system to accurately predict the need for endoscopic haemostatic intervention. METHODS: Published on: May-2015 Read more

Incidence, pattern, and etiology of elevated liver enzymes in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2015 May; 60(5):592-7. Abstract OBJECTIVES: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often develop elevated liver enzymes (ELE), which are frequently a benign, transient finding, but may be related to treatment or IBD-associated liver diseases. Distinguishing benign from pathologic ELE is crucial for focused diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. We sought to characterize the incidence, character, chronicity, degree, and etiology of ELE in children with IBD. METHODS: Published on: May-2015 Read more
