[Taurolidine lock in pediatric patients with intestinal failure. A practical guideline from the Spanish Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (SEGHNP)].

Objectives: the prevention of central line-associated bloodstream infections is a critical aspect of care for patients with intestinal failure who are treated with parenteral nutrition. The use of taurolidine in this context is becoming increasingly popular, however there is a lack of standardization in its pediatric application.

Spanish National Registry of Paediatric Coeliac Disease: Changes in the Clinical Presentation in the 21st Century.

Objectives: Over the last several decades, there has been a tendency towards a predominance of less symptomatic forms of coeliac disease (CD) and an increase in the patient age at diagnosis. This study aimed to assess the clinical presentation and diagnostic process of paediatric CD in Spain.

Methods: A nationwide prospective, observational, multicentre registry of new paediatric CD cases was conducted from January 2011 to June 2017.

Heterotopic gastric mucosa of the proximal oesophagus (inlet patch): endoscopic prevalence, histological and clinical characteristics in paediatric patients.

Background: Heterotopic gastric mucosa is found in the proximal oesophagus, just below the upper oesophageal sphincter, and is encountered when the oesophagus is examined carefully during endoscopy.

Aims: In this study on paediatric patients, we aimed to determine the endoscopic prevalence of heterotopic gastric mucosa of the proximal oesophagus (HGMPO), to identify its macroscopic and histological characteristics and to evaluate its clinical features.

Patients And Methods: A total of 1399 patients were examined.

[Short bowel syndrome and failure intestinal features in our community].

Introduction: Intestinal failure is being an entity with higher prevalence in the pediatric age, especially due to bowel resections causing the appearance of a short bowel syndrome.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence and etiology of cases of short bowel syndrome (SIC) and Intestinal Failure (FI) existing in Andalusia. Analyze factors involved in evolution, the number of transplant patients and to know the time required to achieve enteral autonomy, studying whether there are differences in management between different participants.
