Article Abstract
Disability is a public health problem that affects an individual's comprehensive development opportunities. The objective of this study was to estimate the annual incidence and prevalence and the diagnostic categories associated with total disability and age groups based on the application for a Unique Certificate of Disability. This was an analytical cohort study in children aged 0-18 years conducted at a teaching hospital of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires between January 2010 and December 2017. Among 22 750 active members, 726 patients applied for a Unique Certificate of Disability; the prevalence was 3.2 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 2.9-3.4). The annual cumulative incidence increased from 2012 (0.22 %, 95 % CI: 0.1-0.19) to 2017 (0.59 %, 95 % CI: 0.5-0.7). Mental disabilities accounted for 80 % (n = 576). This study showed an increase in the incidence of disability and also the mental disability category.

Servicio de Microbiología, Instituto Ramón y Cajal de Investigaciones Sanitarias (IRYCIS), Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal, 28034 Madrid, Spain.
Background/objectives: Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is considered a safe and effective therapy for recurrent infection. It is the only current clinical indication for this technique, although numerous clinical research studies and trials propose its potential usefulness for treating other pathologies. Donor selection is a very rigorous process, based on a personal lifestyle interview and the absence of known pathogens in faeces and serum, leading to only a few volunteers finally achieving the corresponding certification.
