Advances in prognostic biomarkers for biliary atresia: Current insights and future directions
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.Abstract Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive, fibrosing cholangiopathy of infancy characterized by inflammatory obstruction of the bile ducts, ultimately leading to end‐stage liver disease if untreated. Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention via hepatoportoenterostomy (HPE) are critical for improving outcomes; however, prognostication ...

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.Abstract The origin of mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) remains a major challenge in hepato‐pancreato‐biliary pathology. These cystic tumors are defined by their mucinous epithelium and ovarian‐like stroma, with an estimated 10% risk of progression to invasive carcinoma. The origin of the ovarian‐like stroma remains a subject of debate.

T lymphocytes from patients with primary biliary cirrhosis produce reduced amounts of lymphotoxin, tumor necrosis factor and interferon-gamma upon mitogen stimulation [PDF]
, 1992 Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is considered an autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of small intrahepatic bile ducts by lymphocytes. Altered functions of these lymphocytes might reflect an abnormal immune response leading to tissue damage ...

Application of machine learning in constructing a diagnostic model for neonatal biliary atresia
Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.This study included 85 neonates who visited the hospital due to pathological jaundice. Using the basic clinical characteristics and serological examination data of the neonatal period, we developed six machine‐learning (ML) models. Extreme gradient boosting has the maximum potential to diagnose biliary atresia in the neonatal period.

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2023 Choledochal cysts are rare cystic dilations of the biliary tree that typically involve the extrahepatic bile duct and more infrequently, the intrahepatic bile ducts. Todani's classification of choledochal cysts is the most referenced system in which five
