1. Aim- To compare the efficacy of albumin when compared to placebo in the development or progression of AKI in patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis who are at low risk for AKI development (i.e Serum Bilirubin <4 mg/dL and serum creatinine < 1 mg/dl at presentation)

There are a many reasons for gastrointestinal (GI) tract surgery and following surgery the aim is to efficiently establish infants on enteral feeds and wean them off of parenteral nutrition. Neonates may lose their body resources after surgery due to inadequate nutrient intake and undergoing long
This is a prospective, observational, descriptive, clinical study.
This is a single centre study. All patients admitted to the South West Liver Unit with decompensated cirrhosis will be screened according to their serum creatinine (sCr) level taken as part of standard of care at admission or during
Therapeutic Efficacy of oral PEG3350 plus Lactulose Versus Lactulose alone in Patients of Acute on Chronic Liver Failure with Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy: A Single Blind Prospective Randomized Controlled Study
INTRODUCTION:
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) refers to syndrome observed in patients with
Acute-on chronic liver failure (ACLF) was first described by Japanese researchers in 1995. In 2011, the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) and the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) concluded that the core characteristics of ACLF were multiple organ
BACKGROUND Interest in vitamin D has seen an unprecedented revival sparked by the finding that vitamin D has pleiotropic effects. The nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) is widely present in different cell types and organs and regulates more than 200 genes.
The link between vitamin D and critical
Clinical Impact of Needle-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy of Cystic Pancreatic Lesions (CINE-Cyst)
Background The diagnostic evaluation of cystic pancreatic lesions represents a difficult problem for clinical decision making, due to the increased incidental discovery of such lesions during
Upon operation of infants with non-syndromatic biliary atresia (BA, commonest form), surgeons almost invariably note the prominent finding of multiple swollen lymph nodes of up to 2 cm in size in the porta hepatis and the small bowel mesentery where they may constitute grape like complexes. Same-age
5 Introduction Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by i) a hypokinetic movement disorder which defines MSA of the parkinsonian type (MSA-P) or by ii) cerebellar symptoms which define MSA of the cerebellar type (MSA-C). In both types
Spinal muscular atrophy is an autosomal recessive disease of varying severity that destroys motor neurons, resulting in atrophy and weakness of the voluntary muscles. Around 95% of the cases demonstrate a homozygous deletion/mutation involving exon 7 in SMN1 (survival motor neuron 1), resulting in
Current medical therapy for end stage liver disease is focused on substitution of blood or plasma products, volume expansion or antibiotic treatment. The only specific treatment is liver transplantation, which is limited by available organs and may be a therapeutic option only for a very minority of
Proximal spinal muscular atrophy is an autosomal recessive disorder with an overall incidence of 1 in 10000 live births and a carrier frequency of 1 in 50. This severe neuromuscular disease is characterized by a degeneration and loss of alpha motor neurons of the spinal cord anterior horn cells,
