Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) predominantly affects males across all ages; however, little is known about sex differences for other aspects of EoE.
Objective: To investigate associations between sex and clinical presentation, endoscopic features, treatment choice and response in EoE patients in real-world practice.
Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the multicenter EoE CONNECT registry.
This study compared short-term effectiveness of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), swallowed topical corticosteroids (STC), and dietary therapies in reversing clinical and histological features in pediatric patients with eosinophilic esophagitits (EoE). Determinants for treatment choice and PPI therapy effectiveness were also assessed. A cross-sectional study analysis of patients under 18 years old recruited onto the multicenter EoE CONNECT registry was performed.

Background: Direct comparisons of childhood- and adulthood-onset eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are scarce.
Aim: To compare disease characteristics, endoscopic and histological features, allergic concomitances and therapeutic choices across ages.
Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the EoE CONNECT registry.
Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) programs encompass a range of healthcare processes aiming to treat infections at home, with the preferential use of the intravenous route. Although several barriers arise during the implementation of OPAT circuits, recent cumulative data have supported the effectiveness of these programs, demonstrating their application in a safe and cost-effective manner. Given that OPAT is evolving towards treating patients with higher complexity, a multidisciplinary team including physicians, pharmacists, and nursing staff should lead the program.

Objective: To analyze the impact of improved knowledge provided by the successive international clinical practice guidelines on reducing diagnostic delay and improving the diagnostic process for European patients with EoE.
Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the EoE CONNECT registry based on clinical practice.
Objective: To assess the incidence and perinatal complications of macrosomic infants born to diabetic and non-diabetic mothers.
Patients And Methods: A six-year retrospective study of newborns at our hospital. A total of 996 macrosomic newborns were found.
