US guided percutaneous liver biopsy in pediatric liver transplant recipients. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2014 Jun; 58(6): 756-61. Abstract OBJECTIVES: The present study assesses the safety of ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous liver biopsies (PLBs) within pediatric liver allograft recipients, describes the pathological results according to early (≤12 months) and late (>12 months) post transplantation periods, and analyses the value of liver function tests (LFTs) and Doppler US variables in determining these results.

Shear wave elastography in the evaluation of liver fibrosis in children. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2014 Jun; 58(6): 750-5. Abstract BACKGROUND: Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is a novel non-invasive method that involves application of local mechanical compression on soft tissue using focused ultrasonography and acquiring strain images that show tissue response. In this study, our goal was to assess the performance of SWE in the staging of liver fibrosis in children with chronic liver disease. METHODS: Published on: Jun-2014 Read more
Galactosemia What is Galactose ? Galactose is a simple sugar, less sweet than glucose or fructose. It is mainly found in dairy products. Galactose contributes directly to vital information processing in the body and is an important substance in cell and cell wall. What is Galactosemia? Galactosemia is a genetic condition (inherited as Autosomal recessive) wherein excessive galactose and its products accumulate in the body. When we consume lactose (dairy products like milk, cheese, butter), our body breaks lactose into glucose and galactose. Glucose is needed as energy source by the body. Galactose is then converted to glucose by certain enzymes in the body.

Duration of protection after infant hepatitis B vaccination series http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24843060 Middleman AB, Baker CJ, Kozinetz CA, Kamili S, Nguyen C, Hu DJ, Spradling PR. Duration of protection after infant hepatitis B vaccination series. Pediatrics.2014 Jun; 133(6): e1500-7. Abstract BACKGROUND: Little is known about duration of protection after the infant primary series of hepatitis B (HB) vaccine in settings of low HB endemicity. This study sought to determine the proportion of adolescents immunized as infants who had protective titers of antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) before and after a challenge dose of vaccine.
