Comparative efficacy of probiotic mixture Bifidobacterium longum KABP042 plus Pediococcus pentosaceus KABP041 vs. Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM17938 in the management of infant colic: a randomized clinical trial.

Unlabelled: We aimed to compare the efficacy of Bifidobacterium longum KABP042 + Pediococcus pentosaceus KABP041 (BL + PP) vs. Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM17938 (LR) in alleviating the symptoms of infant colic, as commercially available formulations. A randomized, multicenter, parallel, single-blind (investigator) trial was conducted in 112 colicky infants diagnosed as per Rome IV criteria and randomly allocated to receive BL + PP orally (10 colony-forming units [CFU]/day, n = 55) or LR (10 CFU/day, n = 57) for 21 days.

Heterozygous mutations of ATP8B1, ABCB11 and ABCB4 cause mild forms of Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis in a pediatric cohort.

Introduction: Heterozygous defects in genes implicated in Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis have been described in milder forms of cholestatic diseases. Our aim is to describe clinical, laboratory and imaging characteristics as well as treatment and outcome of a cohort of pediatric patients with heterozygous mutations in ATP8B1, ABCB11 or ABCB4.

Patients And Methods: We present a retrospective descriptive study including pediatric patients with at least one heterozygosis defect in ATP8B1, ABCB11 or ABCB4 diagnosed after a cholestatic episode.
