Introduction: Around half of patients with esophageal atresia (EA) have additional congenital anomalies. Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) in these patients is less known, with only 36 cases reported in the past literature. This retrospective study aimed to establish the incidence and clinical presentation of EA patients in combination with HPS in our hospital.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was based on the medical histories from all patients with EA who underwent surgical repair in our hospital from 1988 through 2012.
Results: Of 267 patients with EA, 20 also developed HPS (7.5%). The latter group showed male predominance, 90 versus 60% in the EA without HPS group. The first symptoms of HPS were mostly vomiting and/or feeding intolerance (n = 19). The diagnosis was mostly delayed, with a median of 6 days (range, 1-21 days).
Conclusions: This is the first report on the high incidence of HPS in a large series of EA patients. The incidence found is 30 times higher than that in the normal population. HPS should be considered when patients show recurrent or persisting vomiting and feeding intolerance after surgery. The reason for the higher incidence should be further investigated.

Aim: To mine and analyze adverse drug events (ADEs) signals of azithromycin use in children in the real world to inform the safety assessment of azithromycin use in children.
Methods: ADE reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) involving children (0-17 years) with azithromycin as the primary suspected drug from 2004 to early 2024 were extracted. ADEs were categorized using MedDRA, and signal detection was conducted using Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR) and Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the long-term gastrointestinal effects of pyloromyotomy in children who had undergone this surgery for infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) from 2007 to 2017.
- A questionnaire, including the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ Gastrointestinal symptoms module, was completed by 199 participants, revealing that their GI symptoms scores were similar to those of healthy peers.
- The results suggest that long-term GI issues after pyloromyotomy are rare, indicating no significant difference in health outcomes between these children and healthy controls, which can help inform parents and lessen the need for extensive follow-up care.

We report a 7-year-old girl born with pyloric atresia but without congenital epidermolysis bullosa or skin fragility. Nail dysplasia developed at age 8 months and throughout childhood she suffered from onycholysis and mild nail hypertrophy. Whole-exome sequencing demonstrated biallelic mutations in alpha6 integrin (ITGA6): p.
