“…In cases of hepatic veins, at least 2 of the veins should be occluded for it to manifest clinically. 11 In some cases, however, 2 or 3 veins may be occluded without any symptoms if the veins are occluded in a stepwise manner with simultaneous development of collaterals. 12 Thus patient may be asymptomatic.…”

“…Nodules that occur are usually benign and pathologically divided into regenerative nodules, nodular regenerative hyperplasia, or adenomatous hyperplastic nodules. 11 These cannot be differentiated from malignant nodules on imaging alone and may seem hypoechoic, isoechoic, or hyperechoic. Follow-up imaging for lesion growth and correlation with alpha feto protein levels may be required (Fig.…”

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) occurs as a result of hepatic venous outflow obstruction. In the pediatric population, the etiologies vary as compared with the adult population. Decompensation can occur faster in this set of patients. Ultrasound and Doppler represent important imaging modalities for diagnosing BCS in children. The imaging features differ depending upon the level of obstruction, acuteness of the condition, and secondary decompensation. Caudate lobe hypertrophy is a salient feature. Obstruction at the level of hepatic veins may be manifested by ostial narrowing, echogenic thrombus, and altered flow patterns in the form of turbulent flow, nonvisualization of the veins, or reversal of flow. Obstruction in the inferior vena cava may present as an echogenic web, membrane, or thrombus with turbulent flow to absent flow within depending upon the degree of luminal compromise. Collateral formation is an important distinctive feature of subacute and chronic BCS. Collaterals that develop may be of intrahepatic or extrahepatic type. Secondary signs of liver failure would be present in late stages. Understanding the clinical presentation and imaging features can help in achieving the correct diagnosis because an early diagnosis of the disease will impact patient management.

“…Finally, the path module represents a significant pathway in the context of the disease, which is not studied comprehensively. The platelet activation, signaling and aggregation pathway is a therapeutic target for the treatment of Budd–Chiari syndrome [52] . von Willebrand factor (vWF) [53] and SerpinA1 [54] , two peripheral sub-network proteins that were recently described as markers of abnormalities of coagulation play roles in provoking thrombosis [55] .…”

The characterization of the interacting behaviors of complex biological systems is a primary objective in protein–protein network analysis and computational biology. In this paper we present FunMod, an innovative Cytoscape version 2.8 plugin that is able to mine undirected protein–protein networks and to infer sub-networks of interacting proteins intimately correlated with relevant biological pathways. This plugin may enable the discovery of new pathways involved in diseases. In order to describe the role of each protein within the relevant biological pathways, FunMod computes and scores three topological features of the identified sub-networks. By integrating the results from biological pathway clustering and topological network analysis, FunMod proved to be useful for the data interpretation and the generation of new hypotheses in two case studies.
