A novel nutritional approach to infants and children with congenital diarrhea due to homozygous DGAT1 mutations.
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- DGAT1 deficiency leads to serious health issues in infants, such as diarrhea and protein-losing enteropathy, making dietary management critical for treatment.
- A study from 2014 to 2020 involved 12 infants with this condition, resulting in new dietary recommendations that focus on an ultralow fat formula combined with lipid infusions.
- The findings suggest that with proper nutritional management, infants can avoid total parenteral nutrition (TPN), improving their growth, development, and overall health while effectively addressing their symptoms.
Purpose: To examine whether patients with non-infectious uveitis (NIU) are at increased risk for celiac disease (CeD).
Methods: Celiac antibody testing was completed in 112 patients. The control group included patients who had undergone upper endoscopy for suspicion of CeD.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between sleep disturbances and celiac disease (CD) in children, highlighting that while adults with CD experience sleep issues, data on children is scarce.
- Researchers compared sleep disturbance scores of children with CD to healthy peers and those with abdominal pain but no diagnosis, using standardized sleep scales.
- The results indicated that children with CD had significantly more sleep disturbances than healthy children, but the gluten-free diet did not notably improve these sleep issues, potentially due to associated abdominal pain.
The Variable Response to Teduglutide in Pediatric Short Bowel Syndrome: A Single Country Real-Life Experience.
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr
September 2022
Objectives: The glucagon-like peptide-2 analog Teduglutide has been shown to enhance intestinal absorption and decrease parenteral nutrition (PN) requirements in short bowel syndrome (SBS). As data in children is limited, we evaluated nationwide real-life experience and treatment outcome in children with SBS.
Methods: Longitudinal data of children treated with Teduglutide for ≥3 months was collected.
Childhood cases of cyanoacrylates generally do not cause moderate or severe gastrointestinal complications. We report the case of a 3-year-old boy referred to our pediatric emergency room and admitted to the pediatric department with signs of upper gastrointestinal obstruction that required invasive intervention. Although it is rare, cyanoacrylate ingestion may injure esophageal and gastric mucosa in the pediatric population.
