Biofeedback rehabilitation in children with encopresis due to retentive constipation using simple tools: a real-world study in a French paediatric centre.

This study aimed to describe the effectiveness of biofeedback (BFB) rehabilitation in children with retentive encopresis (RE). A retrospective, single-institution study was conducted in children with BFB sessions for RE between 2017 and 2020. Manometry data and associated envy scores were analysed.

Clinical decision support system in emergency telephone triage: A scoping review of technical design, implementation and evaluation.

Objectives: Emergency department overcrowding could be improved by upstream telephone triage. Emergency telephone triage aims at managing and orientating adequately patients as early as possible and distributing limited supply of staff and materials. This complex task could be improved with the use of Clinical decision support systems (CDSS).

Assessment of local and systemic signature of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children through multi-omics approaches.

Background: Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is a chronic food allergic disorder limited to oesophageal mucosa whose pathogenesis is still only partially understood. Moreover, its diagnosis and follow-up need repeated endoscopies due to absence of non-invasive validated biomarkers. In the present study, we aimed to deeply describe local immunological and molecular components of EoE in well-phenotyped children, and to identify potential circulating EoE-biomarkers.

Putting undergraduate medical students in AI-CDSS designers' shoes: An innovative teaching method to develop digital health critical thinking.

Introduction: Digital health programs are urgently needed to accelerate the adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Clinical Decision Support Systems (AI-CDSS) in clinical settings. However, such programs are still lacking for undergraduate medical students, and new approaches are required to prepare them for the arrival of new and unknown technologies. At University Paris Cité medical school, we designed an innovative program to develop the digital health critical thinking of undergraduate medical students that consisted of putting medical students in AI-CDSS designers' shoes.

Comparison of Endoscopic Dilatation and Heller's Myotomy for Treating Esophageal Achalasia in Children: A Multicenter Study.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of, and complications from, the 2 main treatments for achalasia: endoscopic dilatation and surgical cardiomyotomy (Heller's myotomy).

Study Design: We retrospectively collected data on children treated for achalasia over an 11-year period from 8 tertiary pediatric centers. A line of treatment was defined as performing either Heller's myotomy or 1-3 sessions of endoscopy dilatation over 3 months.
