A Rare Case Presentation: Diagnosing Primary Biliary Cholangitis in a Male Patient With Concomitant Type 1 Diabetes.

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is characterized as an autoimmune disease that involves the destruction of intrahepatic bile ducts, characteristically leading to a cholestatic liver. The presence of disease-specific antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) is the gold standard to diagnose PBC. Typically, PBC is known to affect female populations exceedingly over their male counterparts.

Background: Mulligan's mobilisation-with-movement (MWM) techniques are proposed to achieve their clinical benefit via neurophysiological mechanisms. However, previous research has focussed on responses in the sympathetic nervous system only, and is not conclusive. An alternative measure of neurophysiological response to MWM is required to support or refute this mechanism of action.
