Diagnosis and management of the overlap syndromes of autoimmune hepatitis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Autoimmune hepatitis may have cholestatic features that are outside the classical phenotype and that resemble findings in other immune‐mediated liver diseases. These cholestatic phenotypes have been designated ‘overlap syndromes’. OBJECTIVES: To recognize the overlap syndromes in adults and manage them appropriately.

Clinical significance of autoantibodies to p53 protein in patients with autoimmune liver diseases. [PDF]
Mutations in the p53 gene leading to conformational changes in the p53 protein have been well established in many human cancers. Conformational changes and/or cellular accumulation of the protein may induce an immune response, resulting in circulating autoantibodies to p53, which have been documented in several types of cancers.

A common characteristic of all chronic liver diseases is the occurrence and progression of fibrosis toward cirrhosis. Consequently, liver fibrosis assessment plays an important role in hepatology. Besides its importance for prognosis, determining the level of fibrosis reveals the natural history of the disease and the risk factors associated with its ...

Primitive free cubics with specified norm and trace [PDF]
The existence of a primitive free (normal) cubic x3 - ax2 + cx - b over a finite field F with arbitrary specified values of a (≠0) and b (primitive) is guaranteed. This is the most delicate case of a general existence theorem whose proof is thereby

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a condition of unknown etiology that causes progressive inflammation, fibrosis and obliteration of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary tree. There is no medical cure, and ursodeoxycholic acid and other drugs have not been shown to affect the natural history of the disease.

Primary Biliary Cirrhosis and Hemolytic Anemia Confusing Serum Bilirubin Levels
Hemolysis is observed in more than 50% of patients with cirrhosis. However, there has been little documention of the association of primary biliary cirrhosis with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Two cases, found within a single practice, of primary biliary cirrhosis coexisting with autoimmune hemolysis and a third case coexisting with hereditary ...

Acute graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD) is a common complication after bone marrow transplantation, with characteristic rash and diarrhea being the most common features. After liver transplantation, however, this phenomenon is very rare. Most transplant patients are on a variety of medications, including immunosuppressants; therefore, the differential ...
