Breastfeeding is the best way to feed all infants, but not infants can be (exclusively) breastfed. Cow's milk based infant formula second choice feeding.The safety of a new synbiotic formula, supplemented with Bifidobacterium lactis and fructo-oligosaccharides, lactose whey/casein 60/40 protein ratio was tested in 280 during 3 months.The median age at inclusion 0.89 months. Weight evolution accordance World Health Organization growth charts for exclusive breastfed infants. The anthropometric...
Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) or Waldmann's disease is a rare protein-losing gastroenteropathy of unknown etiology. Less than 200 cases have been reported globally. Patients may be asymptomatic present edema, lymphedema, diarrhea, ascites and other manifestations. We report two pediatric with PIL extremely different outcome in 3-year follow-up period. The first patient presented persistent hypoalbuminemia failure to thrive, while the second an abrupt eyelid edema. Hypoproteinemia...
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of gastrointestinal (GI) tract, affecting about 2% population. Most cases diverticula are asymptomatic. The diagnosis symptomatic MD often difficult to make. We report case an 8-year-old boy who presented with GI bleeding due MD. diagnostic difficulties after initial negative endoscopic evaluation and value various procedures discussed. patient had suffered from bright red stools for 20 h before hospital admission. scintigraphy...
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficacy a lactose- reduced synbiotic partial whey hydrolysate in formula fed infants presenting with colic and impact dietary intervention mean crying time quality life.Forty infantile were treated during one month parental reassurance (partial hydrolysate, lactose, Bifidobacterium lactis BB12 galacto-oligosaccharides) compared control group 20 standard infant formula. Parents completed life (QoL) questionnaire assessing burden colic. Wilcoxon...
Evaluation of the prevalence coeliac disease (CD) in Greek paediatric population.The project consists two parts: (i) a pilot study preschool children aged 2-6 years to test feasibility and diagnostic accuracy community-based screening (ii) CD study, by random clustered sampling proportionate stratification various geographical areas Greece. Trained nonmedical staff performed rapid immunochromatographic detect IgA antibodies tTG-IgA deficiency. Toddlers with positive results were referred...
Food induced sensitization has been reported in pediatric liver recipients. However long term follow up not established so far. We report here our experience regarding 3 patients who developed acquired food allergy after transplantation. The first patient suffered from persistent diarrhea and eczema. second one presented with abdominal pain no signs of rejection, discomfort, vomiting when ingesting milk proteins responded well to the elimination diet. third facial angioedema hoarseness...
The immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome is a rare, x-linked, recessive disorder characterized by dysfunction of the T regulatory (Treg) lymphocytes leading to autoimmune diseases. Herein we report male patient with IPEX who presented severe diarrhea, eczema, and malabsorption failure thrive necessitating total parenteral nutrition, as well liver dysfunction. Laboratory investigation showed elevated enzymes that declined following treatment...
The relationship between Helicobacter pylori (Hp) gastritis and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) remains controversial. aim was to investigate the association Hp infection (GER) impact of eradication on esophageal acid exposure motility in adolescents young adults with GERD. Sixty-four patients symptoms suggestive for GERD, which 40 Hp-positive (group A) 24 Hp-negative B), underwent endoscopy-biopsy, manometry 24-hour pH-metry. All group A received treatment were re-evaluated six...
To evaluate the efficacy of synbiotic formula with partial whey hydrolysate and high magnesium content in infants presenting functional constipation.
Thiamine (vitamin B 1 ) is a water-soluble vitamin that not endogenously synthesized in humans.It absorbed by the small intestine, where it activated.Its active form acts as coenzyme many energy pathways.We report rare case of thiamine deficiency 3.5-year old boy with short bowel syndrome secondary to extensive resection due necrotizing enterocolitis during his neonatal age.The patient was parenteral nutritiondependent since birth and had suffered from recurrent central catheter-related...
Background-Objective: With recent evidence suggesting that growth is no longer considered a major issue in children with food allergies (FA) on elimination diet, priority has shifted to diet quality establish healthy eating patterns and prevent non-communicable diseases. The Diet Quality Index – International (DQI-I) could be useful for assessing the overall of FA-children. This study aimed evaluate impact DQI-I FA accuracy reflecting nutrient intake. Materials-methods: In prospective,...
Trichohepatoenteric syndrome or syndromic diarrhea is a rare and severe Mendelian autosomal recessive characterized by intractable diarrhea, facial hair abnormalities, liver dysfunction, immunodeficiency failure to thrive. It has been associated with mutations in TTC37 SKIV2L genes, which encode proteins of the SKI complex that contributes cytosolic degradation messenger RNA cell’s exosome. We report case male infant who suffered from typical symptoms signs trichohepatoenteric without...
