Exploring parental thoughts and clinical experiences on blended food in a paediatric population, a qualitative study.

Background: There's a growing interest in blended food (BF) as an alternative to commercial food (CF) for tube-fed children. Thus, we investigated parental and medical experiences with BF as an option for tube feeding in children.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, all patients were already using BF, chosen by parents.

Practice Analysis: Developing a Content Outline for the Child Abuse Pediatrics Certification Exam.

The examination by which physicians achieve board certification in CAP should reflect the knowledge and skills required of the modern practitioner. The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) assembled a 12-member volunteer panel of practicing child abuse pediatricians to conduct a practice analysis. In the first phase of the project, the panel identified and documented the practice domains, tasks, knowledge, and skills required for clinical practice.

Faecal microbiota transplantation in children: A systematic review.

Aim: Novel technologies offer insights into the potential role of the intestinal microbiota in human health and disease. Dysbiosis has been associated with several diseases, and it is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of different gastrointestinal diseases. Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is emerging as a method to modulate the gastrointestinal microbial ecosystem.

Nutritional management of high-output ileostomies in paediatric patients is vital and more evidence-based guidelines are needed.

Aim: Paediatric patients with high-output ileostomies (HOI) face an elevated risk of complications. This study aimed to comprehensively review the existing literature and offer nutritional management recommendations for paediatric patients with an HOI.

Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched for relevant English or French language papers up to 31 June 2022.

Identifying risk factors of anti-TNF induced skin lesions and other adverse events in paediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Objectives: While higher infliximab (IFX) trough concentrations (TCs) are associated with better outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), they could pose a risk for adverse events (AEs), including IFX-induced skin lesions. Therefore, we studied correlations between IFX TCs and occurrence of AEs in paediatric IBD patients.

Methods: In this single-centre study, all children with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) receiving IFX maintenance therapy who underwent proactive drug monitoring between March 2015 and August 2022 were included.
