Accuracy of Serological Screening for the Diagnosis of Celiac Disease in Type 1 Diabetes Children.

: Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are considered at high-risk for developing celiac disease (CD). The purpose of our study was to determine the prevalence of CD among children who were followed in our unit for T1D using the latest ESPGHAN guidelines, and avoiding intestinal biopsies in some of the children. Materials and : We performed a prospective monocentric study, which included 663 T1D children between June 2014 and June 2016.

Impact of deprivation on glycaemic control in youth with type 1 diabetes in the southwestern region of France.

Objectives: The objective of this multicenter cross-sectional study was to determine predictors of poor glycaemic control in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), particularly with respect to socioeconomic status (SES).

Methods: Our study population consisted of 1154 children who attended T1DM follow-up consultation with a pediatric diabetes specialist. Clinical and demographic data were retrieved retrospectively from patients' records.

[Magnet ingestions in children: a French multicenter study].

Digestive complications related to the ingestion of magnetic foreign bodies in children are increasing, especially in Asia and North America. In France, several case reports have been reported since 2008. We conducted a retrospective multicentric study to evaluate the frequency of ingestion of magnet foreign bodies and to describe the complicated cases that have occurred in France over the last 5 years.

[Assessment of medical students using a script concordance test at the end of their internship in pediatric gastroenterology].

The Script Concordance Test (SCT) is a tool used to evaluate clinical reasoning in complex medical situations. Our aim was to create the first SCT in pediatric gastroenterology in order to objectively assess medical students. We elaborated a SCT including 31 items divided into ten clinical cases.

[Candida albicans endocarditis after pulmonary artery banding].

Endocarditis is uncommon in infants and is exceptionally related to Candida albicans on pulmonary banding. We report on a case in a 7-month-old infant who had pulmonary artery banding for a ventricular septal defect and who presented with candidal endocarditis. Banding was chosen because of the patient's poor trophic and unstable status, which could be risky for surgery involving extracorporeal circulation.
