Liver fibrosis in biliary atresia.
Shen WJ1, Chen G1, Wang M1, Zheng S2.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common cause of obstructive jaundice in infants. Although the Kasai procedure has greatly improved the prognosis, most patients still need liver transplantation (LT) for long-term survival. The pathogenesis of BA has not been fully clarified, and liver fibrosis in BA is far beyond biliary obstructive cirrhosis.

Lamivudine's efficacy and safety in preventing mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B: A meta-analysis.
Khalighinejad P1, Alavian SM2, Fesharaki MG3, Jalilianhasanpour R4.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS:
Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) is a common transmission mode of hepatitis B virus (HBV). It has been shown that the infection may occur in some infants despite the use of immunoprophylaxis, and many studies have demonstrated the efficacy of antivirals such as lamivudine to reduce such events.

Outcome of biliary atresia among Saudi children: A tertiary care center experience.
Holdar S1, Alsaleem B1, Asery A1, Al-Hussaini A2.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS:
Data from Western countries indicate that biliary atresia (BA) is the leading cause of end-stage liver disease in children and the most common indication for liver transplantation (LT) in the pediatric population. There is no data on the epidemiology and outcome of BA in Saudi Arabia. The main objective of our study was to understand the clinical and epidemiological characteristics and outcome of BA in the Saudi population.
