Background: Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) measurement is recommended as a first line screening test for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). While reliable velum- and non-velum-closure techniques exist for preschool children and older individuals, no data are available for neonates.
Aims: To determine feasibility of nNO screening and nNO concentration in healthy newborns in the first week of life.
Objectives: To study celiac-specific antibody status over 3 years in patients with type 1 diabetes and biopsy-proven celiac disease (T1D + CD). Furthermore, to determine clinical differences after diagnosis between patients reaching constant antibody-negativity (Ab-neg) and staying antibody-positive (Ab-pos).
Methods: A total of 608 pediatric T1D + CD patients from the multicenter DPV registry were studied longitudinally regarding their CD specific antibody-status.
Inherited distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is caused by impaired urinary acid excretion resulting in hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. Although the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is usually preserved, and hypertension and overt proteinuria are absent, it has to be considered that patients with dRTA also suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD) with an increased risk for adverse pregnancy-related outcomes. Typical complications of dRTA include severe hypokalemia leading to cardiac arrhythmias and paralysis, nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis.

Therefore, the purpose of this review is to focus on studies, which have addressed the use of probiotics for primary prevention of atopic diseases.
Recent Findings: The Finnish study of Kalliomaki was the first report to describe that the frequency of atopic dermatitis in neonates treated with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) was half that of the placebo.
