[Pediatric guidelines for coeliac disease: Treatment and follow-up].

The goal of the treatment is to relieve symptoms, achieve duodenal mucosal healing, avoid long term complications, and ensure children´s appropriate growth, for which it´s necessary to follow a lifelong, nutritionally complete and healthy gluten free diet (GFD). The Celiac Disease Working Group of the Gastroenterology Committee of the Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría developed this guide based on expert consensus, aimed at gastroenterologists, pediatricians and primary care physicians with the objective of updating the following topics: Treatment. Definition of gluten free food.

3D-Printable Rotary Valves for Low-Pressure Pneumatic and Fluidic Applications in Analytical Chemistry.

We report on a fused deposition modeling 3D-printable rotary valve fabricated from high-grade plastics such as polyether ether ketone or lower-grade plastics like polylactic acid. The valve weighs less than 90 g and has the potential to be integrated into portable and autonomous chemical analysis systems. It has been demonstrated to be leak-proof up to 2.

Partial biochemical response of adrenal artery embolization for pheochromocytoma: A case report and review of the literature.

We present the case of a 22-year-old male with a left adrenal pheochromocytoma, initially diagnosed during a workup for thoracic pain. The patient's tumor was refractory to medical management, and surgical resection was ruled out due to high cardiovascular risk, stemming from cyanotic congenital heart disease, aortic aneurysm, and factor VII deficiency. The patient underwent adrenal artery embolization (AAE) as a salvage treatment.

Comparing cryoprecipitate-poor plasma to fresh frozen plasma as replacement therapy in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: An updated meta-analysis.

Background: Cryoprecipitate-poor plasma (CPP) has been suggested as a promising alternative to the standard fresh frozen plasma (FFP) in plasma exchange therapy (TPE) for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) given its lower concentrations of von Willebrand Factor (VWF). However, its efficacy and safety remain a topic of debate.

Study Design And Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing CPP to FFP during TPE in patients with TTP.

Prevalence of hybrid TLR4M2 monocytes/macrophages in peripheral blood and lung of systemic sclerosis patients with interstitial lung disease.

Introduction: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex autoimmune connective tissue disease characterized by microvascular damage, immune system reactivity and progressive fibrosis of skin and internal organs. Interstitial lung disease is the leading cause of death for SSc patients (SSc-ILD), and the process of lung fibrosis involves also circulating monocytes and alveolar macrophages.

Methods: Current study aimed to identify monocyte/macrophage phenotypes in lung and peripheral blood of SSc-ILD patients by immunostaining and flow cytometry, respectively.
