Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Biliary Drainage With Primary Metal Implantation by Endoscopic Luminal...
Bile Duct ObstructionExtrahepaticIn a recently published meta-analysis (Sharaiha, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2017), it is reported that percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) is less clinical successful, causes more adverse events and needs more re-interventions than endoscopic ultrasound guided biliary drainage (EUBD) in patients with malignant, extrahepatic bile duct obstruction. The conclusion was, that EUBD should be prefered in this clinical setting in future. An improved technique of PTBD may provide better results for coming comparative studies. The investigators of this retrospective study therefore analyzed all PTBDs that were performed in a period of nine years in a tertiary referral hospital. In this cohort, the analysis focused on PTBDs with primary metal stent implantation by endoscopic luminal guidance.

Parenteral Nutrition Associated Liver DiseaseEssential Fatty Acid Deficiency3 moreThis study will demonstrate Short-, mid-, and long-term safety in pediatric patients with Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Cholestasis treated with Omegaven®, which is indicated as a source of calories and fatty acids in this patient population
Omegaven for Compassionate Use in the Treatment of Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease...
CholestasisLiver DiseasesThis is a compassionate use protocol of an investigational new drug (IND). The overall purpose of the treatment is to offer alternative treatment to children who developed parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD) and have not responded positively to currently available medical therapies. PNALD develops in newborns dependent on parenteral nutrition (PN) and are unable to tolerate adequate enteral feedings to support fluid and nutritional fluids; although PN is necessary and life sustaining, it can result in severe liver disease.

CholestasisTotal Parenteral Nutrition-induced CholestasisThe purpose of this study is to provide intravenous omega-3 fatty acids and monitor tolerance in subjects with prolonged parenteral nutrition dependence and parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis through expanded access.
Induction of Labor in Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy
Intrahepatic CholestasisInduction of Labour in Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP) has become a common procedure in management of ICP to avoid fetal complications. Surprisingly, this empirical approach has not been evaluated as to delivery complications and fetal outcome as yet. The investigators now examine weather ICP affects (i) delivery procedures chosen, in particular the incidence of caesarian section, (ii)fetal and maternal outcome in induced labor, and (iii)possible impact of bile acids and UDCA treatment in a retrospective cohort study based on approximately 5000 induced deliveries at Danderyd Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm. The investigators analyze data on on previous deliveries, BMI, medical history and medical book data. Primary endpoint is the risk of caesarian section.
