The role of enhanced multi-detector-row computed tomography before urgent endoscopy in acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding. J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2014 Apr; 29(4): 716-22. Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIM: Multi-detector-row computed tomography (MDCT) has been reported to be a potentially useful modality for detection of the bleeding origin in patients with acute upper massive gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of MDCT as a routine method for detecting the origin of acute upper GI bleeding prior to urgent endoscopy. METHODS: Published on:

Our vitamin D needs are met from the nutrients we consume and a hormone produced in the body. A new study says that a low status of vitamin D triggers non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in children.
Researchers at the King's College Hospital Paediatric Liver Centre in collaboration with University of Surrey's School of Biosciences and Medicine investigated the link between low level of Vitamin D and non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the U.K. children and found a genetic variant associated with the severity of the disease. For this study, the researchers analysed the medical records of over 120 paediatric patients with NAFLD.
