Purpose of review:
Pediatric foreign body ingestion is a common occurrence that presents a challenge both to pediatric gastroenterologists and primary care providers. Increasing prevalence of smaller, more technologically advanced toys in the household has resulted in an increased exposure to higher voltage batteries and powerful magnets that carr...
Purpose of review:
The goal of this review is to present and summarize studies on endoscopic findings in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), at diagnosis and in response to treatment, utilizing rigorous peer-reviewed literature in children wherever possible and to introduce a recently proposed standardized endoscopic evaluation system.
Recent finding...
Background & aims:
The endoscopic reference score (EREFS) is used to determine severity of 5 endoscopic findings: edema, rings, exudates, furrows, and strictures. Little is known about the relationship between EREFSs and histologic markers of disease activity in children with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). We aimed to determine whether the EREFS...
Liver transplantation treats the hepatic affectation of UCDs; however, irreversible neurologic damage pretransplant is difficult to assess providing transplant teams with ethical dilemmas for liver transplantation. The purpose of our study was to determine whether pretransplant neuroimaging can predict developmental outcomes post-liver-transplant i...
Restricted interests are a class of repetitive behavior in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) whose intensity and narrow focus often contribute to significant interference with daily functioning. While numerous neuroimaging studies have investigated executive circuits as putative neural substrates of repetitive behavior, recent work implicates affecti...
Background: The experimental neurobiological study of repetitive behaviors in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has historically focused on global deficits in behavioral flexibility that emerge from frontostriatal dysfunction. These reliably measurable neurobehavioral constructs have come to serve as a proxy for repetitive behaviors...
Background: Autism spectrum disorders are complex, behaviorally-defined developmental disorders whose diagnosis by DSM IV-TR (2000) criteria requires clear evidence of dysfunction in three domains: social relatedness, communication, and restricted or repetitive behavior. The third domain may manifest in a variety of ways, one of which is a tendency...
Background:
Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) experience sensory and perceptual events differently than typically developing (TD) children. One presumed source of altered perceptual experience is aberrant integration of information from multiple sensory modalities. In the rubber hand illusion, simultaneous visual and tactile input con...
We describe a neonate with tuberous sclerosis complex and right frontal cortical dysplasia who underwent simultaneous near-infrared spectroscopy and electroencephalography (EEG) during repetitive clinically silent right frontal EEG seizures. The seizures produced a progressive decline in regional oxygen saturation index and wider regional oxygen sa...
