A 13-year-old female with polyarteritis nodosa underwent a partial gastrectomy for ischemic necrosis and gastric perforation following left gastric artery thrombosis. She later presented with vomiting, early satiety, weight loss, and severe malnutrition, when she was diagnosed with an occlusive gastric stricture. She successfully underwent repeated therapeutic endoscopic balloon dilations until the endpoint of 15-18 mm lumen was achieved without any complications, and her symptoms resolved.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Dyspepsia comprises a group of symptoms that can have organic or functional origin. The purpose of this study was to describe the main causes of dyspepsia and its clinical evolution in children cared for in a tertiary care hospital.
Material And Methods: Retrospective study in children with dyspepsia.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the relationship between baseline impedance (BI), mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI), and acid exposure time (AET) in children suspected of having gastroesophageal reflux disease.
- The research involved a retrospective analysis of 68 children, showing that 25% had pathological AET and that MNBI was typically higher than BI in certain measurement channels.
- The findings indicated that lower impedance values (both BI and MNBI) were associated with pathological AET, suggesting that these measurements should be included in routine assessments for children with suspected reflux issues.
Background: Acute diarrhea is the second leading cause of preventable mortality and morbidity in children worldwide. This study aimed to identify the main pathogens associated with acute diarrhea and to describe changes in gut microbiota in Mexican children.
Methods: This single-center observational study included 30 children (6 months to 5 years old) with acute diarrhea who were referred to the Instituto Nacional de Pediatría of Mexico City and 15 healthy volunteers (control group).
Background: esophageal manometry is the standard criterion for the evaluation of dysphagia and the diagnosis of a primary motor disorder of the esophagus in adults and children.
Aims: to describe the diagnosis according to the Chicago classification (CC) v3.0 in children with dysphagia, in whom an esophageal motility disorder was documented.
