Accuracy of Bowel Ultrasound for Detecting Inflammatory Bowel Disease at a Tertiary Hospital in Central South Africa

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Bowel wall thickness, as measured by bowel ultrasound, demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy in evaluating patients with suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). When combined with other bowel ultrasound parameters, this non‐invasive tool can serve as an effective screening method to accelerate IBD diagnosis.

Pediatric autoimmune gastritis: An international, multicentric study

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) has been poorly described in childhood. We sought to identify the patterns of manifestations of pediatric AIG at onset and to describe its laboratory, clinical, and histopathological features. Methods This was a retrospective, longitudinal, multicenter, cohort study enrolling histologically proven AIG ...

Healthcare resource utilization and cost in pediatric celiac disease: A case‐control study using German insurance data

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Celiac disease (CeD) is a life‐long systemic immune‐mediated disorder. Data on burden and cost of CeD in children are scarce. We assessed healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and cost of healthcare services of newly diagnosed children in Germany.

Splenic stiffness does not predict esophageal varices in children with portal hypertension

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To investigate ultrasound parameters, particularly splenic stiffness, as predictors of pediatric esophageal varices. Methods We included all children aged 0–19 years who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, for variceal screening or surveillance, and abdominopelvic ultrasound with splenic elastography measurement.

Digestive autoimmune diseases mimicking gastrointestinal manifestations in children with sickle cell anemia: A report of three cases

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a genetic disorder that presents with a variety of systemic complications, including gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations. These GI symptoms can overlap with those of digestive autoimmune diseases (DAD) such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), complicating the diagnosis and management.

GLIS2 Promotes Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition and Gastric Cancer Progression by Regulating BGN to Activate the Wnt/β‐Catenin Pathway

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study elucidates the mechanism by which GLIS Family Zinc Finger 2 (GLIS2) promotes epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in gastric cancer through biglycan (BGN) activation and Wnt/β‐catenin stimulation. By analyzing 18 pairs of GC tissues and establishing in vitro models (combining GLIS2 knockdown/BGN overexpression with Wnt pathway ...

Investigating Airway Symptoms in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Diagnostic delay of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is significant, and efforts are needed to raise awareness and reduce prolonged symptoms and complications. Airway and swallowing symptoms often overlap, especially in children, complicating diagnosis and increasing delays.

Adenotonsillar Microbiome Shifts in Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study compares the microbiomes of adenoids and tonsils in pediatric OSAS patients and healthy controls using 16S rRNA sequencing. Significant differences were found in the tonsillar microbiome of OSAS patients, with lower alpha diversity and an overrepresentation of pathogenic genera like Haemophilus and Neisseria, while adenoid microbiomes showed
