We present the case of a 35-year-old female with a history of polycystic ovary syndrome, treated with oral contraceptives. She was under study due to nine months evolution of pain in the right iliac fossa, associated with hyporexia and mild hyperbilirubinemia with a predominance of the conjugated fraction (total Bi 3.7 mg/dl, conjugated Bi 2.9 mg/dl). An abdominal computed tomography (CT) was performed showing homogeneous hepatosplenomegaly and adenopathies in both iliac chains, the largest in the right external iliac chain of 1.6 x 3.6 cm.

Intussusception in children with celiac disease.
J Family Med Prim Care

Pediatric Department, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic illness. Blood testing for tissue transglutaminase antibodies is the initial screening test for the diagnosis of CD, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and duodenal/jejunal biopsy are used to confirm CD. Intussusception (IS) is the process in which a proximal segment of the bowel invaginates through the lumen of a distal segment.

July 2024
College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Most of the literature on infantile cholestasis (IC) originated from Caucasian and Asian populations. The differential diagnosis of IC is very broad, and identification of etiology is challenging to clinicians because the list includes many entities with overlapping clinical, biochemical, and histological features. Thus, a structured, stepwise diagnostic approach is required to help early recognition and prompt evaluation and management of treatable causes of cholestasis.

Background: Dubin-Johnson Syndrome (DJS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, with most cases presenting in adolescence, but rare in newborns.
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of DJS in a newborn.
Methods: We present the clinical features of a newborn diagnosed with DJS through molecular genetic testing.
Article Synopsis
- MRP2 is an important protein that helps export substances out of liver cells and can affect how cancer treatments work; its dysfunction is linked to Dubin-Johnson Syndrome and increased liver damage risk from certain drugs.
- Researchers used cryogenic electron microscopy to visualize MRP2 in three different forms: autoinhibited, substrate-bound, and ATP-bound, demonstrating that it operates through ATP-driven changes in shape.
- The structure analysis shows that MRP2 has a regulatory domain that selectively allows certain substrates to initiate transport, helping to explain its role in multidrug resistance by recognizing a variety of compounds.
