Resolution of Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome-A Long-Term Follow-Up Study of 113 Swedish Children.

Background: Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), a non-IgE-mediated allergy, primarily affects infants and young children. Whether and when tolerance develops seems to vary among populations and trigger foods.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate tolerance development and its assessment in a Swedish cohort.

On the influence of solvent on the stereoselectivity of glycosylation reactions.

Methodology development in carbohydrate chemistry entails the stereoselective formation of C-O bonds as a key step in the synthesis of oligo- and polysaccharides. The anomeric selectivity of a glycosylation reaction is affected by a multitude of parameters, such as the nature of the donor and acceptor, activator/promotor system, temperature and solvent. The influence of different solvents on the stereoselective outcome of glycosylation reactions employing thioglucopyranosides as glycosyl donors with a non-participating protecting group at position 2 has been studied.

Identification of Childhood-Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Swedish Healthcare Registers: A Validation Study.

Purpose: The Swedish National Patient Register (NPR) is often used in observational studies of childhood-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (<18 years of age) and its subtypes, but the validity of previously used register-based algorithms for capturing childhood-onset IBD has never been examined.

Methods: We identified a random sample of 233 individuals with at least two first ever diagnostic listings of IBD in the NPR between 2002 and 2014. We calculated the test characteristics for different register-based definitions of IBD and its subtypes using the Copenhagen criteria and the revised Porto criteria as gold standard, both based on medical chart review.

Dance and yoga reduced functional abdominal pain in young girls: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) affect children, especially girls, all over the world. The evidence for existing treatments is mixed, and effective accessible treatments are needed. Dance, a rhythmic cardio-respiratory activity, combined with yoga, which enhances relaxation and focus, may provide physiological and psychological benefits that could help to ease pain.
