Validation of a rapid test for celiac disease detection in first-degree relatives - A prospective study.

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten in genetically predisposed individuals, often diagnosed by detecting anti-tTG2 antibodies. First-degree relatives of CD patients are at high risk and require careful evaluation. We conducted a prospective study to validate CeliacDetect, a rapid immunochromatographic test that detects anti-tTG2 IgA antibodies in capillary blood within 10 minutes.

Clinically Relevant Topics and New Tendencies in Childhood Nutrition during the First 2 Years of Life: A Survey among Primary Care Spanish Paediatricians.

A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted among 245 experienced Spanish paediatricians, who completed an online survey based on clinically relevant topics in nutrition during the first two years of life and their recommendations to parents in daily clinical practice. Most participants advise about the choking risk associated with baby-led weaning (BLW) and more than 60% consider that infants can receive an insufficient variety and quantity of nutrients with this practice. The general opinion is that there is a lack of evidence for delaying the introduction of gluten and other allergenic foods in the complementary feeding of healthy infants.
