Inconsistent data exist about the efficacy of probiotics in treatment constipation. Several studies adults with constipation showed positive effects on regarding effect a single probiotic strain constipated children. The aim this pilot study was to determine mixture containing bifidobacteria and lactobacilli childhood Children aged 4–16 years as defined by Rome III criteria were eligible for study. During 4 week period, children received daily mix × 109 colony forming units (Ecologic ®...
<h3>Objectives:</h3> A subgroup of children with functional constipation (FC) are unresponsive to conventional treatment. Abnormal rectal function due increased distensibility (compliance) might be an underlying mechanism therapy-resistant FC. It is hypothesised that compliance normal in patients who successfully recovered from FC (RC). <h3>Methods:</h3> Using a barostat, pressure-controlled intermittent distension protocol was performed patients, RC subjects free symptoms for at least 4...
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has periodically estimated infant mortality rates among Gaza. These surveys have recorded a decline from 127 per 1000 live births 1960 to 20.2 2008.
Gut-directed hypnotherapy (HT) has recently been shown to be highly effective in treating children with functional abdominal pain (FAP) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This study was conducted determine the extent which this treatment success is because of an improvement rectal sensitivity.A total 46 patients (aged 8-18 years) FAP (n=28) or IBS (n=18) were randomized either 12 weeks standard medical therapy (SMT) HT. To assess sensitivity, a pressure-controlled intermittent distension...
BackgroundMucosal administration of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against respiratory pathogens is a promising alternative for systemic because lower doses are required protection. Clinical development mucosal mAbs highly active field yet clinical proof-of-concept lacking.MethodsIn this investigator-initiated, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial, we evaluated intranasal palivizumab the prevention RSV infection in preterm infants (Dutch Trial Register NTR7378 and NTR7403).

The presence of high-amplitude propagating contractions (HAPCs) has been identified as a marker colonic neuromuscular integrity. physiologic mechanisms HAPCs initiation have yet to be determined. Distention secondary filling hypothesized initiator. aim this study was the effect intraluminal balloon distention in colon children with defecatory disorders. Colonic manometry performed polyethylene situated at proximal end catheter, which placed most segment reached during colonoscopy. A stepwise...
Abstract Background Decreased sensation of urge to defecate is often reported by children with functional constipation ( FC ) and nonretentive fecal incontinence FNRFI ). The aim this cross‐sectional study was evaluate cerebral activity in response rectal distension adolescents compared healthy controls HC s). Methods We included 15 , 10 young adult s. Rectal barostat performed prior magnetic resonance imaging fMRI determine individual pressure thresholds for sensation. Subjects received 2...
Background The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has periodically estimated infant mortality rates (IMR) among Gaza Strip (Gaza). These surveys have recorded a decline from 127 per 1000 live births 1960 to 20.2 2006. Thereafter, survey revealed an IMR of 22.4 2011. Alerted by these findings, follow up was conducted 2015 further assess trend IMR. Methods We used same preceding-birth technique as previous estimate neonatal rate (NMR) births....
Aim Increasing evidence exists with respect to the relation between stressful life events and functional constipation (FC). We aimed investigate prevalence of FC in Palestinian refugee preschool children determine if stress trauma exposure are risk factors these children. Methods From November 2013 until May 2014, a cross-sectional survey was conducted West Bank, Gaza Jordan. Mothers 862 aged 7–48 months were interviewed on defecation pattern, socio-economic child's traumatic events. Results...
Introduction The treatment of chronic functional nausea or due to dyspepsia in children is generally symptomatic. Moreover, these disorders pose a risk for worse psychosocial and health outcomes children. Hypnotherapy (HT), by its ability positively influence gastrointestinal functioning, may be an effective nausea. Methods analysis To test efficacy, this multicentre, parallel, randomised controlled, open label trial evaluates whether gut-directed HT superior standard medical (SMT) reducing...
