Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Validated noninvasive biomarkers to assess treatment response in pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are lacking. We aimed to validate alanine aminotransferase (ALT), a monitoring biomarker for change in liver histology.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION:
Choledochal cyst (CDC) is often associated with intrahepatic stones (IHSs) in children which necessitate their removal during excision. The endoscopic equipment needed for their clearance such as paediatric flexible cholangioscope and other advanced modalities are not freely available in resource-poor setups. We describe per-operative modified rigid cholangioscopy using rigid paediatric cystoscope for stone removal during open CDC excision.

Acute variceal bleeding
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2018 May 30. doi: 10.1097/MPG.0000000000002039. [Epub ahead of print]"Acute Variceal Bleeding Causes Significant Morbidity".Moura MC1, Chen S2, Kamath BM3, Ng VL1, Ling SC1.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
The need for primary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding in children is unclear due to insufficient evidence of the efficacy of prophylactic therapy and the mortality and morbidity associated with the first bleeding event. Previous studies have provided estimates of mortality. We aimed to investigate the morbidity associated with acute variceal bleeding (AVB) in children and to identify contributing factors.
