Intussusception and COVID19, Successful Mechanic Reduction, Case Report.

The COVID 19 pandemic has greatly affected the world population. SARS CoV2 infection in pediatric patients is related to the development of mild symptoms and in some cases gastrointestinal manifestations. We present the case of a patient with intussusception as a manifestation associated with SARS CoV2 infection, treated by ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction with successful results.

Novel Coronavirus Infection in an Infant with Intussusception.

. Intussusception is the leading cause of intestinal obstruction in children under 4 years of age. Viral infections are the associated etiology in most cases, SARS-CoV-2 thereby being a plausible cause, although only 5 cases have been reported worldwide with both entities.

Assessment of the bacterial diversity of agave sap concentrate, resistance to in vitro gastrointestinal conditions and short-chain fatty acids production.

Low bacterial diversity in the gut has been associated with the development of several diseases. Agave sap concentrate (ASC) is obtained from the thermal treatment of the fresh sap called "aguamiel", an artisanal Mexican food. In this study, we assessed the microbial diversity from three different ASC producing regions in Mexico using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and evaluated their resistance to an in vitro gastrointestinal process as well as their ability to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA).

Telehealth in Colombia, challenges associated with COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a revolution of such magnitude that no aspect of human life will be the same from now on. The provision of health services and health education are not unrelated to this new normality imposed by the disease, and its consequences have been reflected in the need to use protocols and resources based on virtuality that most of us had not valued in their real dimension. Telehealth and telemedicine will be basic tools for professionals and teachers and it is our obligation to know them, apply them, and innovate to adapt to this reality.

Experiences of parents and/or caretakers of children with Hirschsprung’s disease or anorectal malformations during follow-up after pediatric surgery.

Introduction: Hirschsprung’s disease and anorectal malformations are pathologies that affect the pediatric population and compromise life from birth, making diagnosis and early treatment essential. The comorbidities they lead to in the long-term take parents and caretakers to situations that, without proper accompaniment, can generate serious complications in the child. Objective: To describe the meaning of the experiences of parents of children with Hirschsprung’s disease or anorectal malformations who have had surgical treatment and are being followed-up.
