Feeding disorders are increasingly common in children, especially as medical advancements improve the life expectancy of children born with prematurity and complex conditions. The most symptoms include malnutrition, refusal to eat drink, food pocketing, disruptive feeding behavior, slow feeding, selectivity or rigid preferences, limited appetite, delayed milestones. A unifying diagnostic definition pediatric disorder has been proposed by a panel experts quality health care advance research....
Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is a known complication of short bowel syndrome (SBS), with high prevalence in both pediatric and adult populations. MBD includes various conditions that disrupt skeletal homeostasis, such as rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis. The pathogenesis multifactorial, regardless the underlying cause SBS. When suspected, it important to conduct laboratory evaluations guide proper diagnosis treatment. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) preferred imaging modality for...
Predictive factors for the development of pouchitis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in children have not been well studied. In this retrospective study, incidence and risk that predict with IPAA will be identified.The records patients who underwent surgery at Children's Hospital Wisconsin between January 2000 December 2013 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients clinical, endoscopic, histological findings consistent identified. The groups without or chronic compared to determine...
Celiac disease (CD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are distinct diseases of the gastrointestinal tract with specific clinico-pathological characteristics. Recent studies have found higher rates EoE in patients CD than general population. Our aim was to estimate incidence among children who were diagnosed over a 42-month period.The study included based on endoscopy histopathological findings between January 2010 June 2013. Histopathology reports esophageal biopsies reviewed identify all...
Studies have suggested that inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) follow a seasonal pattern with regard to their onset and exacerbations. The aim of this study is determine if there any the exacerbation IBD in pediatric population birth children diagnosed follows pattern.Patients between ages 1 21 years diagnosis established July 1992 2012 were included. Their exacerbations (year season) recorded. dates patients aggregated whether existed amongst them.A total 170 included study; 34% had fall 19%...
ABSTRACT Objectives: Studies have shown the advantages of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) over air insufflation in adult population during colonoscopies. This study was designed to investigate efficacy and safety CO deeply sedated children undergoing colonoscopy. Methods: a prospective, randomized, double‐blind clinical trial. We recruited 100 consecutive pediatric patients who had colonoscopy under deep sedation for various indications. Patients were first randomized by history abdominal pain then...
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) has become a key element in the diagnosis and therapy of many gastrointestinal diseases affecting children. The aim this study was to evaluate predictors positive outcomes children undergoing their first diagnostic EGD with biopsies at single center. This retrospective based on findings from existing histopathological reports. All procedures were performed between July 2006 2013. Details each patient's clinical presentation abstracted medical records...
Purpose: Celiac disease (CD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are distinct diseases of the gastrointestinal tract with specific clinico-pathological characteristics. Recent studies have found higher rates EoE in patients CD than general population. However, these were retrospective reviews predominantly adult populations. Our aim was to estimate incidence among children diagnosed at our center over a 36-month period. Methods: Patients based on endoscopy histopathological findings from...
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn's (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory of the gastrointestinal tract that associated with an increased risk for psychiatric comorbidities specifically depression anxiety. Previous studies indicate pediatric patients IBD having had annual screening using PHQ-9 (screening severity) receiving treatment higher quality life scores 1. However, few have evaluated generalized anxiety disorder in patients. This study...
Background/Objectives: Hirschsprung disease (HD) is associated with significant morbidities including long-term bowel dysfunction. The aim of this study was to update national and regional trends in the inpatient care utilization epidemiology HD United States between 2009 2014 using National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. Methods: We identified all pediatric admissions a diagnosis within NIS from through 2014. analyzed discharges respect various demographic clinical factors, specifically...
