Button batteries (BB) remain a health hazard to children as ingestion might lead life-threatening complications, especially if the battery is impacted in esophagus. Worldwide initiatives have been set up order prevent and also timely diagnose manage BB ingestions. A European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology Nutrition (ESPGHAN) task force ingestions has founded, which aimed contribute reducing risks related this event. It important focus on setting, next other worldwide...
A previous guideline on cow's milk allergy (CMA) developed by the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) was published in 2012. This position paper provides an update diagnosis, treatment, prevention CMA with focus gastrointestinal manifestations. All systematic reviews meta‐analyses regarding prevalence, pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis after ESPGHAN document were considered. Medline searched from inception until May 2022 for topics that not...
ABSTRACT Objectives: The aim of the study was to review evidence regarding clinical use and value fecal calprotectin (FC) measurements in different gastrointestinal disorders children. Methods: A literature search conducted PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane databases until October 31, 2019. Subtopics were identified each assigned individual authors. Results: total 28 recommendations voted on using nominal voting technique. Recommendations are given related sampling, measurement methods,...
To evaluate the performance of 2D shear-wave elastography from General Electric (2D-SWE.GE) for noninvasiveassessment liver fibrosis and to identify stiffness (LS) cut-off values predicting different stages fibrosisusing Transient Elastography (TE) as reference method.We included 331 consecutive subjectswith or without chronic hepatopathies in whom LS was evaluated same session by means 2 elastographic techniques:TE 2D-SWE.GE. Reliable measurements were defined TE median value 10 with a...
This study investigates the use of quantum computing, particularly Grover's algorithm, to improve genetic diagnostics for DiGeorge syndrome compared conventional computational techniques. We employed IBM Qiskit framework simulate algorithm rapid and precise identification pathogenic gene sequences. Background: Conventional diagnostic methods are laborious, delaying essential treatment decisions. Quantum capable swiftly processing large datasets, offers substantial improvements in...
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is common in newborns, being associated with high morbidity and mortality. While maternal neonatal conditions are known contributors, few studies use advanced machine learning (ML) as predictive factors. This study assessed how pathologies, medications, factors affect the risk of PDA using traditional statistics ML algorithms: Random Forest (RF) XGBoost (XGB). A retrospective 3 year cohort 201 NICU neonates Logistic regression (LR) chi-square analyses...

Introduction The diagnosis and management of cow's milk allergy (CMA) is a topic debate controversy. Our aim was to compare the opinions expert groups from Middle East ( n = 14) European Society Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology Nutrition (ESPGHAN) 13). Methods These Expert voted on statements that were developed by ESPGHAN group published in recent position paper. voting outcome compared. Results Overall, there consensus amongst both experts. Experts agreed symptoms crying,...
Given a lack of systematic approach to the use breath testing in paediatric patients, aim this position paper is provide expert guidance regarding indications for its and practical considerations optimise utility safety.Nine clinical questions methodology, interpretation, specific treatment carbohydrate malabsorption were addressed by members Gastroenterology Committee (GIC) European Society Paediatric Hepatology Nutrition (ESPGHAN).A literature search was performed from 1983 2020 using...
Studies performed using transient elastography (TE), point shear wave (pSWE) and two-dimensional (2D-SWE) have shown that these techniques are all feasible accurate in children for the evaluation of liver fibrosis due to several etiologies. However, some specific pediatric pathologies, such as biliary atresia, evidence is still limited. As adults, inflammation a confounding factor when assessing severity care should be taken interpreting results. Due scarce comparative data between...
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about its impact on maternal and neonatal health. This study aimed to investigate the influence of infection during pregnancy inflammatory parameters. A retrospective cohort was conducted at Premiere Hospital in Timisoara between May 2021 January 2022. Participants were categorized into two groups: positive group, consisting patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 in-fection pregnancy, control which comprised COVID-19-free pregnant women. primary outcome...
Abstract Aim To describe the current prevalence of paediatric hypertension and relationships between body mass index, gender, place residence, blood pressure in a population school-aged children from western Romania. Material method A total 3626 Timisoara surrounding regions were examined by medical students February, 2010 to June, 2011. Children's index was interpreted on basis reference guidelines Centers for Disease Control Prevention. Blood measurements taken auscultation method. For...
Primary lactose intolerance is caused by a genetically programmed loss in lactase production after 5‑6 years of age. Milk and dairy products are often incriminated as cause gastrointestinal symptoms. Recent studies show that persistence adult life correlates with higher anthropometric indexes an altered metabolic profile. We aimed to assess whether the presence gene polymorphisms for primary has influence on profile children. conducted cross‑sectional study, recruiting consecutive children...
