We also examined whether there was a change in symptoms and histopathological morphology in the duodenal biopsies during the same period.
Methods: In 3 hospitals in South-Eastern Norway, records from pediatric patients (0-14.
Background & Aims: The aim was to study the influence of Nissen fundoplication on rate of gastric emptying and postprandial symptoms in relation to protein source in liquid meals in children with cerebral palsy.
Methods: Ten children with cerebral palsy and Nissen fundoplication and ten with cerebral palsy without Nissen fundoplication were studied. Patients had gastrostomy and received two meals, double-blinded, in random order, on separate days.
Background & Aim: Dysmotility, nausea and vomiting are common among children with cerebral palsy. This study aimed to evaluate influence of protein composition on rate of gastric emptying and study the relation between gastric emptying and postprandial gastrointestinal symptoms.
Methods: 15 children with cerebral palsy, using gastrostomy, received four liquid test meals on separate days in random order.
Aim: To explore the prevalence of symptoms suggestive of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in asthmatics and controls, and to control for the possible effect of overweight.
Methods: The prevalence of GERD symptoms was assessed using a questionnaire about reflux symptoms in children with asthma (n=872, mean age 10.4 y, 65% males) compared to non-asthmatic controls (n=264, mean age 10.
Objective: The prevalence of symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with abnormal results of pH monitoring has been investigated in adults and infants. A questionnaire suitable for children between 7 and 16 years of age has been proposed, but this tool has so far not been validated. In the present study the items of the questionnaire are validated against results from an esophageal 24-h study of pH.
