ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Due to several factors, such as gastrointestinal’s diseases and difficulty in feeding, children with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy tend present nutritional deficits. OBJECTIVE: To assess the status of pediatric patients according reference curves for this population measures folds circumferences, obtained by upper arm circumference triceps skin fold. METHODS: The data were from: knee-height, estimated height, weight, circumference, Values circumferences compared...
Fructooligosacharides and galactooligosacharides soften fecal bolus increase frequency of depositions when added to infant formula. This study aimed determine the effects galactooligosaccharide in pediatric patients with chronic constipation.From 2010 2012, 20 constipated (4-16 years age) attended at a primary healthcare unit were enrolled double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover trial. Eleven children ingested (1.7 g) for 30 days, followed by 15-day washout period, 30-day period placebo...
Gastrostomy tube feeding (GTF) is indicated for children with difficulties due to tetraspastic cerebral palsy, although there are no definitive conclusions about the benefits of GTF.To compare nutritional status and diet pediatric patients tetraparesis palsy who fed by GTF those orally (PO).A transversal descriptive study on 54 spastic was held. The referred parameters were: weight, knee height estimated height, cutaneous folds circumferences. Frisancho reference used skin body Brooks et al....
Approximately 25% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) develop the during childhood or adolescence and treatment aims to control active symptoms prevent long-term complications. The management Crohn's (CD) ulcerative colitis (UC) can be especially challenging in children adolescents, related particularities that may affect growth, development, puberty.This consensus provide guidance on most effective medical surgical pediatric CD UC.Experts Pediatric IBD representing Brazilian...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy is the most common cause of physical disability in childhood. Caregivers patients presenting tetraparesis cerebral (TCP) and gastrostomy tube feeding (GTF) were selected for this study because both conditions represent a great demand their caregivers. OBJECTIVE: To describe quality life related to state health caregivers with TCP who fed by gastrostomy, assess results linked mental these caregivers, compare our data from other studies on children without...
The objective of this study was to evaluate gastric emptying (GE) in pediatric patients with functional constipation. GE delay has been reported adults Gastric studies were performed 22 children chronic constipation, fecal retention and incontinence, while presenting after resuming regular bowel movements. Patients (18 boys, median age: 10 years; range: 7.2 12.7 years) evaluated a tertiary gastroenterology clinic. half-emptying time water (reference 12 ± 3 min) measured using radionuclide...
To evaluate the demographics, genotype, and clinical presentation of pediatric patients presenting with distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS), factors associated DIOS recurrence.Case series ten (median age 13.2 years), followed-up in a reference center, retrospectively assessed. Data analyzed included age, gender, cystic fibrosis meconium ileus at birth, hydration status, pulmonary exacerbation, Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization, pancreatic insufficiency (PI), body mass index (BMI)...
The aim of this study was to assess clinical features and colonic transit patterns in Brazilian children with refractory constipation.From 2010 2013, 79 constipated patients received follow-up care a tertiary hospital. Of these patients, 28 (aged 8-14 years) were conventional therapy underwent simplified visual method nuclear study, by ingestion liquid meal containing 9.25 MBq/kg (99m)Tc-phytate. Abdominal static images taken immediately at two, six, 24, 30, 48h after for qualitative...
Chronic abdominal pain (CAP) carries a significant burden of disease. The last edition the Rome Criteria (Rome IV) allows diagnosis functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) according to symptoms-based criteria; however, patients continue experience delay in their and be submitted different interventions before establishment positive diagnosis.We aimed characterize etiology, clinical features, pediatric cohort with CAP secondary FGIDs, who were referred our tertiary care...
Differential diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease is often very challenging. Paracoccidioidomycosis a fungal that can mimic manifestations Crohn's disease.We report case 13-year-old Caucasian boy with abdominal pain for 1.5 years associated nausea, diarrhea, and weight loss 10 kg. He presented increased C-reactive protein an erythrocyte sedimentation rate. A colonoscopy showed deep serpiginous ulcers throughout his entire colon rectum, which suggested disease. received one dose...
To describe the case of an infant with Hirschsprung's disease presenting as total colonic aganglionosis, which, after surgical resection aganglionic segment persisted irreversible functional intestinal obstruction; discuss difficulties in managing this form congenital aganglionosis and a plausible pathogenetic mechanism for case. The diagnosis was established two-month-old infant, episode enterocolitis, hypovolemic shock severe malnutrition. After resection, patient did not recover motor...
Intussusception is a common cause of acute intestinal obstruction in the pediatric population and it normally idiopathic. Rare cases chronic intussusception require investigation with greater attention.
To evaluate outcomes of oral food challenge (OFC) test to assess tolerance in infants with non-IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA) gastrointestinal manifestations and explore clinical data predictive these outcomes.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the intestines, resulting in breakage of intestinal barrier, pathological inflammation and nutritional disorders encompass from trace elements deficiency to severe malnutrition. Nutritional interventions either alone or associated drug therapy may be effective achieve maintain remission.To evaluate usual food intake as quantitative qualitatively, CD patients; describe effect supplement containing whey proteins...
Mast cells exert a substantial role in gastrointestinal allergic diseases. Therefore, it is reasonable to presume that mast cell may aid diagnosis eosinophilic gastroenteropathy.To evaluate whether count the esophageal epithelium can discriminate esophagitis, proton-pump inhibitor (PPI)-responsive esophagitis and gastroesophageal reflux esophagitis.Retrospectively we reviewed files of 53 consecutive patients (age: 7.8 years; range: 8-14 years) with definitive diagnose established during...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) is a rare, autosomal dominant disease, caused by deletions in the chromosome 19p33.3/ gene LKB1/STK11. These mutations inactivate serine/threonine kinase and predispose to carcinogenesis. In PJS, tumors of gastrointestinal, testicles, pulmonary, breast, pancreas, uterus ovaries can be found. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate demographics, clinical presentation complication/outcomes pediatric patients presenting with syndrome (PJS), as well present...
