The consensus of the Asociación Mexicana de Gastroenterología on the diagnosis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease in infants.

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a frequent normal phenomenon in children of any age. It is more common in infants, in whom the majority of episodes are short-lived and cause no other symptoms or complications, differentiating it from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The diagnosis and management of GER and GERD continue to be a challenge for the physician.

Efficacy of 1-day vs. 2-day intestinal preparation using peg 3350 + Bisacodyl: A randomized clinical trial.

Objective: The objective was to compare the efficacy of 1-day intestinal preparation for colonoscopy using PEG 3350 (polyethylene glycol) (4 g/kg/day) + bisacodyl vs. 2-day intestinal preparation using PEG 3350 (2 g/kg/day) + bisacodyl in pediatric patients.

Materials And Methods: A blind, randomized clinical trial was carried out with endoscopists who assessed colon cleansing.

[Tolerance, safety and efficacy of the one-day preparation of PEG3350 + bisacodyl compared to 2 days of PEG3350 + bisacodyl in pediatric patients].

Background: Multiple intestinal preparations have been used in children undergoing colonoscopy, with variable limitation due to acceptance, tolerance, and proper cleaning. The objective of this study was to compare the tolerability, safety and efficacy of the colonoscopy preparation with 1 day with PEG 3350 (poliethylenglycol) (4g/kg/day) + bisacodyl compared to 2 days of preparation with PEG 3350 (2g/kg/day) + bisacodyl in pediatric patients.

Methods: A clinical, randomized, and blind trial was performed.
