GEIS-SEHOP clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most frequent soft tissue sarcoma (STS) in children and adolescents. In Spain the annual incidence is 4.4 cases per million children < 14 years.

Prevalence of biliary acid malabsorption in patients with chronic diarrhoea of functional characteristics: a prospective study.

Background: Bile acid malabsorption occurs in up to one third of patients with chronic diarrhoea of functional characteristics. The gold standard test for its diagnosis is the Selenium homocholic acid taurine (SeHCAT) test. The aim of this work is to confirm previous data suggesting that bile acid malabsorption, diagnosed by Se-HCAT test, is the underlying cause of diarrhoea in a significant proportion of patients previously diagnosed with a functional disorder.

Specific and sensitive ELISA for measurement of IgE-binding variations of milk allergen β-lactoglobulin in processed foods.

Immunochemical detection of food allergens is usually based on the use of polyclonal or monoclonal immunoglobulins G (IgG) antibodies. However, due to differences in epitopes recognition between IgG and IgE, an epitope modification during food processing can potentially alter allergenicity and detection in such different way. For that reason, the use of traditional immunological methods to anticipate or study the protein allergenicity is not recommended.

Role of (18)F-FDG PET in Patients with Infectious Endocarditis.

Unlabelled: It was our purpose to evaluate the clinical impact of systematic PET/CT for the diagnosis of infectious embolisms in patients with infectious endocarditis (IE) in comparison with a historic cohort of IE patients managed without this technique. Detection of extracardiac lesions is an essential component of the management and outcome of IE. Studies using PET/CT for the evaluation of patients with IE are scarce, lack a control group, evaluate a small number of patients, or consist of case reports.
