Portal vein peak systolic velocity is a useful noninvasive predictor of high‐risk varices in biliary atresia

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Portal vein (PV) flow velocity is considered an indicator of portal hypertension. However, few studies have evaluated the predictive performance of PV flow velocity for high‐risk varices (HRV) in children with biliary atresia (BA). In this study, we evaluated the predictive performance of PV peak systolic velocity (PSV) for HRV in ...

Impact of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapies on liver stiffness and liver enzymes: An observational perspective single‐center cohort study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The efficacy of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)‐modulator therapies in preventing or ameliorating cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) by correcting CFTR in cholangiocytes is not well‐documented. This study aimed to assess liver function during CFTR‐modulators.

Use of single‐use ultra‐slim endoscopes for evaluation of pediatric esophageal varices: A pilot feasibility study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Esophageal varices (EV) need monitoring in patients with portal hypertension. In 2022, a single‐use ultra‐slim (3.5 mm) gastroscope was approved for use in children and adults. This study evaluated if an ultra‐slim gastroscope could evaluate, grade, and corroborate the presence of EV in sedated pediatric patients as compared to standard oral ...

The Effects of Biologic Agents on Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness and Hepatic Steatosis in Patients With Moderate‐To‐Severe Psoriasis: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
In this prospective observational cohort study, 34 patients with moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis received biologic therapy (anti‐TNF‐α, anti‐IL‐12/23, or anti‐IL‐17) for 6 months. Carotid intima–media thickness decreased significantly in the overall cohort (p < 0.01), with the greatest reductions in the anti‐IL‐17 and anti‐IL‐12/23 groups.
