Article Synopsis
- Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID) include conditions like eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), but much of the existing research has focused on populations in Europe and North America, highlighting a need for more studies on Asian populations.
- This review aims to summarize recent developments in EGID, focusing on the unique disease characteristics and responses to treatment in Asian patients, as compared to Western populations.
- There is a critical lack of comprehensive data on EGID in Asia, emphasizing the need for collaborations to improve research quality and representation in this region.
Introduction/objectives: Haemostatic spray (HS; Hemospray) is a powder agent for endoscopic haemostasis in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). It has been shown to be effective and easy to administer. However, published data on efficacy and safety in children remain scarce.

Background And Aim: Pediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a progressive disorder that is increasing in incidence globally. The study aims to describe the clinical profile and longitudinal outcome, including the utility of vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE), in children with NAFLD at a single tertiary liver unit in Singapore.
Methods: Retrospective review of patients aged 0-18 years referred for NAFLD from 2003 to 2020 was conducted.
