Decrease in alpha-1 antiproteinase antitrypsin is observed in primary Sjogren’s syndrome condition

Autoimmunity, 2020
Primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that is characterized by the infiltration of immune cells. Although the loss of salivary gland function is a major manifestation observed in pSS, the factors that could promote these ...

Management of chronic airway diseases:What can we learn from real-life data? [PDF]

, 2017
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (hereafter referred to as bronchiectasis) are distinct but related airway diseases: COPD is characterised by persistent and usually

Gross Intrahepatic Mass Formation Predicts the Primary Site of Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma Based on Molecular Pathologic Studies

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Purpose Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (eCCA) are clinically and genetically distinct. However, the classification of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (phCCA) with an intrahepatic tumor mass remains unclear.

Preliminary evidence of improved liver biomarkers in adolescents with obesity and suspected metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease treated with semaglutide: A case series

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects 30%–40% of youth with obesity and lacks approved pharmacologic therapies. In this single‐center retrospective case series at a tertiary care safety‐net children's hospital, we evaluated five adolescents (mean age: 17.0 years; 100% Hispanic; 60% male; mean body mass index:

Genetic Variants of Serum Alpha 1 Antitrypsin [PDF]

, 1995
Complete absence of data on alpha 1 antitrypsin in this country prompted us to determine serum levels using radial immunodiffusion (RID) and phenotypes by isoelectric focusing (IEF) in 100 healthy adults (52 males and 48 females).

Hepatopulmonary syndrome as presentation of pediatric metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Childhood obesity is rising and leading to serious co‐morbidities, among which is metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) predisposing individuals to cirrhosis. We describe a young 11‐year‐old Hispanic male who presented with hepatopulmonary syndrome secondary to cirrhotic portal hypertension from metabolic dysfunction‐

Rare variants in alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency: a systematic literature review

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) is a largely underrecognized genetic condition characterized by low Alpha 1 Antitrypsin (AAT) serum levels, resulting from variations in SERPINA1.

The first report of two cases of fatal liver injury due to anti-tuberculosis drugs in the presence of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2017
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health problem. Awareness of liver injury due to anti-TB therapy is vital because fulminant hepatic failure is a devastating and often fatal condition without liver transplantation.

PERCC1‐associated enteropathy: Diagnostic challenges and enteral autonomy achieved with teduglutide

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Congenital diarrheas and enteropathies (CODE) are rare inherited disorders characterized by early‐onset intractable diarrhea. Though progress has been made in elucidating the genetic basis of CODE, much remains to be discovered. Another challenge is the lack of curative therapies—treatment is primarily supportive including enteral and ...
