Novel therapies are discussed for treatment of diseases such as tyrosinemia and neonatal haemochromtosis, and the hepatology section describes improved treatment for Hepatitis B and C in relation to liver transplantation. New modalities in endoscopy such as endoscopic ultrasound and capsule endoscopy in gastrointestinal disorders are also covered in detail.
