Liver involvement in the Hispanic population of North America with cystic fibrosis http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24897167 Wagener JS, Woo MS, Pasta DJ, Konstan MW, Morgan WJ; Investigators and Coordinators of the Epidemiologic Study of Cystic Fibrosis. Liver involvement in the Hispanic population of North America with cystic fibrosis. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2014 Oct; 59(4):476-9. Abstract OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present article was to determine the prevalence of liver involvement in Hispanic patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and identify associations with age and severity of liver involvement. METHODS: We used 1994-2005 Epidemiologic Study of CF data to compare abnormal liver findings between Hispanic and non-Hispanic white patients with CF.

Budd-Chiari syndrome in children: clinical features, percutaneous radiological intervention, and outcome. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2014 Sep; 26(9):1030-8. Abstract OBJECTIVES: 'Radiological intervention' to restore venous patency is the preferred therapy in adults with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). The published literature on pediatric BCS is scarce. This study evaluated the clinical profile and role of a therapeutic radiological intervention in children with BCS. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Published on: Sep-2014 Read more

ACG Clinical Guideline: The Diagnosis and Management of Focal Liver Lesions http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25135008 Marrero JA, Ahn J, Rajender Reddy K. ACG Clinical Guideline: The Diagnosis and Management of Focal Liver Lesions. Am J Gastroenterol. 2014 Sep; 109(9):1328-47. Abstract Focal liver lesions (FLL) have been a common reason for consultation faced by gastroenterologists and hepatologists. The increasing and widespread use of imaging studies has led to an increase in detection of incidental FLL. It is important to consider not only malignant liver lesions, but also benign solid and cystic liver lesions such as hemangioma, focal nodular hyperplasia, hepatocellular adenoma, and hepatic cysts, in the differential diagnosis. In this ACG practice guideline, the authors provide an evidence-based approach to the diagnosis and management of FLL.

An elevated neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio is associated with adverse outcomes following single time-point paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose: a time-course analysis. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2014 Sep; 26(9):1022-9. Abstract BACKGROUND: The innate immune system is profoundly dysregulated in paracetamol (acetaminophen)-induced liver injury. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a simple bedside index with prognostic value in a number of inflammatory conditions. AIM: To evaluate the prognostic accuracy of the NLR in patients with significant liver injury following single time-point and staggered paracetamol overdoses.
