The paper describes a new procedure for evaluating the severity of childhood celiac disease, the basis of which is to determine the salivary activity of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). The salivary ODC activity index of 0.0001 to 0.0080 ncat/ml suggests severe celiac disease; that of 0.0081-0.0145 and 0.0146-0.0410 ncat/ml indicates its moderate and mild forms, respectively. The development of this procedure is urgent since the typical forms of celiac disease, which make the determination of the degree of the disease difficult in most cases.

LONG-TERM PROGNOSIS OF NON-CELIAC ENTEROPATHIES AND A SCORE TO IDENTIFY PATIENTS WITH POOR OUTCOMES: A 30-YEAR MULTICENTER LONGITUDINAL STUDY.
Am J Gastroenterol

Introduction: Long-term prognosis of non-celiac enteropathies (NCEs) is poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate long-term outcomes and develop a prognostic score for NCEs.
Methods: NCEs patients from an international multicenter cohort (4 Italian centers,1 UK, 1 French,1 Norwegian,1 USA,1 Indian) followed-up over 30 years were enrolled.

Introduction: A gluten-free (GF) diet, the only treatment for people living with coeliac disease (CD), is challenging, and international guidelines highlight the valuable role of healthcare professionals in enabling self-management. The study aimed to explore the acceptability of telephone and online video consultations for adults with CD.
Methods: A cross-sectional study consisting of an online and paper survey was promoted to adults with CD.
Validation of UniverSeg for Interventional Abdominal Angiographic Segmentation.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Henry Ford Health, Detroit, MI, USA.
Automatic segmentation of angiographic structures can aid in assessing vascular disease. While recent deep learning models promise automation, they lack validation on interventional angiographic data. This study investigates the feasibility of angiographic segmentation using in-context learning with the UniverSeg model, which is a cross-learning segmentation model that lacks inherent angiographic training.
