The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed healthcare systems and training around the world. Training Committee of North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology Nutrition sought to understand how affected pediatric gastroenterology fellowship training.A 21 question survey was distributed all 77 program directors (PDs) in director database via email on April 7. Responses collected through 19, 2020 were analyzed using descriptive statistics.Fifty-one (66%) PDs from...
The relation between food allergies and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is well established. Aeroallergens may also contribute to the development of EoE; however, there are limited data support or refute this hypothesis. objectives pilot study were determine whether a seasonal variation in onset symptoms and/or diagnosis EoE these variations correlate with specific pollen concentration within New York City.We performed retrospective chart review identify all pediatric patients at Presbyterian...
ABSTRACT Objectives: The role of Helicobacter pylori ( H ) in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) remains controversial, particularly children, because there are limited published data. Adult studies suggested that infection may protect against GERD by causing atrophic gastritis, which leads to reduced gastric acid secretion. objective our study was determine the development a pediatric population. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis 420 patients (M:F = 214:206) who underwent...
Children with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] are disproportionally affected by recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection [rCDI]. Although faecal microbiota transplantation [FMT] has been used good efficacy in adults IBD, little is known about outcomes associated FMT paediatric IBD.We performed a retrospective review of at 20 centres the USA from March 2012 to 2020. and without IBD were compared determined differences for rCDI. In addition, children successful outcome predictors success....
The number of Africans in Johannesburg presenting with duodenal ulcers has steadily increased over the past 50 years. characteristics 105 patients ulcer who presented a Baragwanath Hospital were compared those matched and unmatched samples without gastrointestinal conditions same hospital. Men found to be significantly better educated than their controls, most had been born town, more them employed at higher, though not highest, educational levels. These data used test Susser9s proposition...
Abstract Background Most Crohn’s disease [CD] patients require surgery. Ileitis recurs after most ileocolectomies and is a critical determinant for outcomes. The impacts of ileocolectomy-induced bile acid [BA] perturbations on intestinal microbiota inflammation are unknown. We characterized the relationships between ileocolectomy, stool BAs, in inflammatory bowel [IBD]. Methods Validated IBD clinical endoscopic assessments were prospectively collected. Stool primary secondary BA...
Abstract Background Digital tonometry is designed to non-invasively screen for endothelial dysfunction by the detection of impaired flow-induced reactive hyperaemia in fingertip. We determined whether digital correlated with risk factors atherosclerosis two groups children at increased dysfunction. Methods A total 15 obese and 23 non-obese, dyslipidaemic children, 8–21 years age, were enrolled, their medical histories, anthropometric measurements, carotid wall thickness means...
Background There is limited data on the effectiveness of training interventions to improve delivery bad news.Methods This preliminary research included pre–post assessments and an open-ended survey evaluate perceived value delivering news for 26 first- second-year fellows from five adult pediatric fellowship programs.Results was a significant increase in faculty assessment scores (34.5 vs. 41.0, respectively, Z = −3.661, p < 0.001) Standardized Patient (SP) (37.5 vs .44.5, −2.244, 0.025)....
Background Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory disease of the esophagus, producing failure to thrive in infants and dysphagia with food impaction older children adults. Although most people EoE manifest atopic/allergic disease, specific allergens which immunoglobulin E (IgE) directed, if any, have not yet been characterized. Methods Mucosal brush biopsy (MBB) solid tissue (STB) specimens were prospectively obtained from 25 individuals suspicion EoE. Specific IgE (sIgE) against...
ABSTRACT Background: Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are critical performed by medical professionals, which can be observed and assessed. Adding on to common EPAs for all pediatric subspecialty trainees, specialty‐specific gastroenterology, hepatology, nutritional fellowship were developed the North American Society Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Nutrition (NASPGHAN) EPA Task Force. Methods: Having EPAs, building assessments is next logical step, as included under a...
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education has described 6 core competencies with which trainees should demonstrate proficiency. Using the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), we aimed to assess 4 of these among Pediatric Gastrointestinal (GI) fellows (PGs).Eight first-year PGs from medical centers in New York area participated a 4-station OSCE trained standardized patient (SP) actors. cases included an emergency department (ED) consult, or "ED Consult" lower...
Ingestion of neodymium magnets carries risks dangerous intestinal complications including necrosis the wall, bowel perforation, enteroenteric fistulae, and even death. Prompt endoscopic or surgical removal can prevent these complications. Here we report a case unwitnessed ingestion 19 that went unrecognized for two weeks before presenting with small obstruction due to phytobezoar numerous gastrojejunal jejunojejunal fistulae. The child underwent challenging laparotomy, lysis adhesions,...
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive option for the removal of lesions in gastrointestinal tract [1] [2]. ESD allows en bloc resection to be performed with added ability ensure adequate circumferential margins.
