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.
Background: 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASA) are widely used in Crohn's disease (CD) despite guidelines advising otherwise. We aimed to assess in nationwide study the outcomes of first-line 5-ASA maintenance therapy (5-ASA-MT) compared with no maintenance treatment (no-MT) in patients with newly diagnosed CD.
Methods: We utilised data from the epi-IIRN cohort, including all patients with CD diagnosed in Israel between 2005 and 2020.
Safety and Potential Efficacy of Escalating Dose of Ustekinumab in Pediatric Crohn Disease (the Speed-up Study): A Multicenter Study from the Pediatric IBD Porto Group of ESPGHAN.
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr
December 2022
Objectives: Escalation of the ustekinumab (UST) maintenance dosage was effective in adults with Crohn disease (CD), but no data are available for children. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of dose escalation of UST in pediatric CD.
Methods: This was a retrospective multicenter study from 25 centers affiliated with the IBD Interest and Porto groups of ESPGHAN.
