The study was carried out to trace clinical laboratory parallels between levels of vitamin D under diseases of small intestine in children. The examined sampling included 160 children aged from 6 months to 18 years with diseases of small intestine. The patients were separated to three groups: 60 children with celiac disease aged from 3-16 years; 60 children with chronic post-infectious enterocolitis aged from 2 to 12 years; 40 children with allergic enterocolitis aged from 6 months to 4 years. The control group consisted of 31 children, including 15 children aged from 6 months to 4 years and 16 children aged from 5 to 18 years. The standard clinical, para-clinical and instrumental techniques of investigation were applied to every nosology. To analyze status of vitamin В the levels of calcidiol and parathormone were determined. In the process of tracing clinical laboratory parallels between levels of vitamin D under diseases of small intestine in children high percentage of decreasing of vitamin D (96.9%) was detected, and at that in 100% under celiac disease and chronic post-infectious enterocolitis. The feedback was established between levels of vitamin D and levels of calcidiol and parathormone and also activity of alkaline phosphatase in all groups of patients though more evident in patients with celiac disease and chronic post-infectious enterocolitis. The low values of level of vitamin D were detected in all children with celiac disease and chronic post-infectious enterocolitis whereas only in 87% under allergic enterocolitis. The decreasing of level of vitamin D was accompanied by increasing of content of calcidiol and parathormone and activity of alkaline phosphatase at that the most high numbers are observed in patients with celiac disease and then chronic post-infectious enterocolitis and allergic enterocolitis.

Background: Coeliac Disease (CD) affects up to 1.4% of children worldwide, with a rising global incidence. A less typical clinical presentation and the need for a life-long gluten exclusion diet raise challenges for diagnosis, management, and healthcare delivery with considerable impacts for CD patients and families as well as clinical services.

Pediatric Department, University Hospital "Mother Teresa", Tirana, Albania. Electronic address:
White-Sutton syndrome (WHSUS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by heterozygous variants in the POGZ gene. With slightly over 100 reported cases, the diagnosis of WHSUS remains challenging due to its variable and non-specific clinical features. We report a novel case of WHSUS carrying a heterozygous de novo variant in the POGZ gene and with characteristic clinical features including global developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder, generalised myoclonic epilepsy, hypotonia and distinct dysmorphic features.

Effect of BMI and symptoms at celiac disease diagnosis on serology normalization after 2 years of a gluten-free diet in children.

Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, Stony Brook Children's Hospital, Stony Brook, USA.
Objectives: To determine if after 2 years of consuming a gluten-free diet post celiac disease diagnosis, pediatric patients who were overweight or obese at diagnosis are less likely to normalize celiac disease serologies as compared with those who were normal weight or underweight at diagnosis. Secondary aims include characterizing how initial symptoms at presentation predict body mass index (BMI) change and serology improvement over the first 2 years of being on a gluten-free diet following diagnosis of celiac disease.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed that included all biopsy-proven celiac disease patients followed at Stony Brook Children's Hospital's Celiac Disease Center diagnosed between the years 2007-2022.
