January 2025
Background: Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic disorder characterized by an enteropathy of highly variable clinical expression, in which the relationship with oral pathology has not yet been fully elucidated. We aimed to update the current knowledge on oral manifestations in CD, to identify evidence gaps and to point out future research lines.
Material And Methods: PRISMA-ScR guidelines were followed.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) significantly affects family dynamics and caregiver work productivity, leading to economic strain on families.
- A multicenter study involving 370 parents of PIBD patients aged 10-18 revealed a 22.9% unemployment rate among caregivers, notably higher for mothers at 30.7%, with absenteeism and presenteeism further complicating work situations.
- The research highlights the need for targeted support and policy improvements to reduce the socioeconomic impact on families caring for children with PIBD.

Article Synopsis
- The WPAI-UC/CD-Caregiver questionnaires evaluate how ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) affect the work life and daily activities of caregivers in Spain.
- The study involved translating the questionnaires, getting feedback from experts and families, and validating them using data from 370 patients and their caregivers, ensuring they are effective and quick to complete.
- Results showed good reliability and validity of the Spanish versions of the questionnaires, making them suitable for use by families of children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
(1) Background: Pediatric dysphagia presents significant nutritional challenges, often impacting growth and development due to reduced oral intake, increased nutritional needs, and gastrointestinal complications; (2) Methods: This prospective quasi-experimental study assessed 117 children under 14 years old (20 patients were under 1 year old, 80 were aged 1-7 years, and 17 were older than 7 years), diagnosed with swallowing disorders, to analyze their caloric, macro-, and micronutrient intake and identify potential deficiencies. The severity of dysphagia was established using functional oral intake scales, and dietary records were reviewed over a 3-day period; (3) Results: The study revealed that 39.8% of participants did not meet their total energy expenditure (TEE), highlighting a high prevalence of malnutrition among these children.
