The prevalence of celiac disease (CD) in Indian children is not well documented, with most of the studies focusing on high-risk groups and not the general population. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of CD in asymptomatic school children of Jaipur, Rajasthan. A cross- sectional study was conducted among healthy school children of Jaipur. Demographic data, symptoms, and signs including dermatological examination were recorded. The screening for CD was done by ELISA-based anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody testing. Children with high IgA anti-tTG underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for small bowel biopsy from the second part of the duodenum. This study involved 575 subjects, out of which, 6 (1.04%) were found to be IgA tissue transglutaminase antibody (IgA-tTG) positive. All 6 subjects were found to be having changes consistent with celiac disease on duodenal biopsy. To conclude, the calculated prevalence of celiac disease was 1 in 96 subjects.

: The parallel stent graft endovascular aortic repair (PGEVAR) technique is an off-the-shelf option used for elective complex abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with acceptable outcome results, as reported so far. The PGEVAR technique, using chimney or periscope parallel grafts, can also be used for patients with ruptured complex abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, only few data about the mid- to long-term outcomes are available.

: An increasing number of studies have reported liver involvement in both children and adults with celiac disease (CD). This often manifests as isolated hypertransaminasemia or hepatic steatosis (HS). The aim of this study was to define the prevalence of hypertransaminasemia and HS in a pediatric population with CD before starting a gluten-free diet (GFD) and to analyze how the introduction of a GFD could modify this condition.

Chronic gastrointestinal disorders often involve nutritional management strategies. On the one hand, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a condition in which most of the patients experience frequent diet manipulation in order to obtain long term remission. On the other hand, for celiac disease (CelD), diet is the only known treatment strategy so far, requiring a life-long gluten-free diet.
