Background: Biliary strictures are a significant cause of morbidity and graft loss in pediatric liver transplant recipients. Risk factors for the development of biliary strictures are not fully established. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of biliary strictures and treatment modalities outcomes and to identify potential risk factors for occurrence.

- * A study of Bukharan Jewish patients revealed that this variant is linked to severe forms of the disease, with symptoms often presenting in children around 8.7 years old, including liver issues.
- * The detected carrier frequency of the variant is approximately 1 in 30, suggesting that screening for this genetic variant should be incorporated into pre-symptomatic and newborn screening programs to prevent serious health complications.

Objectives: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the novel coronavirus responsible for coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has been a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Gastrointestinal and hepatic manifestations during acute disease have been reported extensively in the literature. Post-COVID-19 cholangiopathy has been increasingly reported in adults.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The Flavobacteriaceae family includes rare pathogens in children; Chryseobacterium indologenes and Elizabethkingia meningosepticum are the most common pathogenic species, with a wide range of clinical presentations and high mortality rate. Although rare, diagnosis is important due to inherent resistance to multiple antibiotics, especially those typically prescribed for empiric treatment of aerobic Gram-negative bacterial infections.
Methods: A multicenter retrospective study conducted in 5 Israeli hospitals, describing Flavobacteriaceae bacteremia confirmed by positive blood culture from 1998 to 2018.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe the morphological characteristics of fetal MRIs and outcome of prenatally-detected abnormal width of the CSP (cavum septum pellucidum).
Material And Methods: A retrospective study of cases with abnormal width of the CSP demonstrated prenatally on MRI. Data collected included: prenatal history, MRI features, sonographic follow up, and neurodevelopmental outcome.
