Background: Immunosuppressed patients, including individuals with organ transplantation, have been among susceptible groups with regard to COVID-19, on the other hand pediatric patients more commonly undergo a mild clinical course after acquiring COVID-19. To the best of the authors knowledge, to this date very little data exists on COVID-19 in a pediatric patient with liver transplantation.

Pediatric hepatic vascular tumors

Anna McGuire 1, Israel Fernandez-Pineda 2, Steven J Fishman 1, Belinda Hsi Dickie 3

Abstract

Vascular liver tumors in the pediatric population can present a diagnostic dilemma. The most common hepatic vascular tumors are hepatic hemangiomas; however the differential diagnosis can also include other benign lesions and malignant masses. Management is unique to the type and nature of the specific lesion. Thus, correct diagnosis and timely intervention is critical. The work up, diagnosis, and management of the different hepatic lesions are discussed in this paper.

Active vitamin D impedes the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by inhibiting cell senescence in a rat model

Ming Ma 1, Qi Long 2, Fei Chen 2, Ting Zhang 2, Wenqiao Wang 2
PMID: 31810868

Abstract

Objective: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to an accumulation of excess fat in liver due to causes other than alcohol use. The relationship between vitamin D (VD) and NAFLD has been previously studied. Therefore, we aimed to explore the mechanism involved active VD regulating the progression of NAFLD by inhibiting cell senescence and to provide a potential approach for further nutritional treatment of NAFLD.

PMID: 32925550

Abstract

Objectives: Hepatitis-associated aplastic anemia (HAAA) is a potentially life-threatening diagnosis without clear treatment guidelines. The goal of the study was to characterize the presentation, evaluation, histopathology, and outcomes of therapy in children with HAAA to guide future research and to develop standardized care guidelines for this rare disease.
