Background And Aims: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterised by progressive biliary inflammation and fibrosis, leading to liver cirrhosis and cholangiocarcinoma. GPBAR1 (TGR5) is a G protein-coupled receptor for secondary bile acids. In this study, we have examined the therapeutic potential of BAR501, a selective GPBAR1 agonist in a PSC model.

Background: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate clinicopathological characteristics, patterns of recurrence, survival outcomes, and implications for the addition of chemoradiotherapy for patients with resected perihilar and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
Materials And Methods: For the present retrospective study, we identified 38 and 10 patients with resected perihilar and intrahepatic CCA. In perihilar CCA, adjuvant treatment was given as chemotherapy ( = 13) or chemoradiotherapy ( = 10).

Case report of a patient with a duodenal ulcer, initially treated with sclerosing agents, as is common practice for most bleeding ulcers. However, the evolution following this treatment is unusual. The patient developed secondary ischemic cholangitis, leading to extensive aerobilia and secondary portal pneumatosis, accompanied by inflammatory changes in the head of the pancreas.

Objectives: To evaluate the features and frequency of hepatobiliary diseases in individuals with Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: This retrospective study included all IBD patients at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The primary focus was on the prevalence of hepatobiliary diseases, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), and others.

Introduction: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is the classical hepatobiliary manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The strong association between gut and liver inflammation has driven several pathogenic hypotheses to which the intestinal microbiome is proposed to contribute. Pilot studies of faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in PSC and IBD are demonstrated to be safe and associated with increased gut bacterial diversity.
