... 9-13 A continuous 24-hour pH probe is relatively safe and provides a reproducible method for measuring acid reflux in infants. [14][15][16][17][18] The aim of this study was to compare the effects of a traditional whey-based infant formula thickened with 5% rice cereal to a casein-predominant infant formula pre-thickened with pre-gelatinized cornstarch on clinical symptoms in children with GER and evaluation of esophageal pH over 24-hours. ...

... La fructosa, como lactosa, cuando es mal absorbida por los pequeño lumen intestinales, puede causar una diarrea osmótica y también sirven como un sustrato para la fermentación bacteriana del colon, y por lo tanto, la producción de gas y posterior dolor abdominal. (Gomara, Halata, & Newman, 2008) encontraron 11 de 32 niños con TGFs por fructosa mal absorbida. Síntomas gastrointestinales tales como náuseas, hinchazón, y dolor abdominal también fueron más frecuentes en el grupo de dosis más alta fructosa (P <0,05). ...

... Several medications may cause mucosal inflammation and ulceration. Although NSAID are generally safe and are often used to control fever, even the use of a single dose in children may cause GI bleeding [12]. In a previous study, ulcerogenic medication use was found in 16.5% of peptic ulcer patients [2]. ...

... [1,2] Seventy percent of neonatal NBLs fall into the low-risk group. [5] In cases where treatment is indicated, they are associated with good clinical outcomes. [2][3][4] The INRGSS recommends surgery alone for low-risk accessible tumours, biopsy with adjuvant chemotherapy, and surgery for intermediate risk disease and intensive adjuvant chemotherapy, and surgery for high-risk disease. ...

... Crucially, we also found that patients who were positive for fructose malabsorption or fructan malabsorption had 1.951 times higher odds of testing positive for the other carbohydrate. Previous work showed that fructose-and fructan-free diets improved symptoms in patients with IBS and fructose malabsorption [36][37][38][39]. Our results support their findings, as almost a quarter (22.6%) of tested patients were positive for both fructose and fructan malabsorption. ...

... Colonic intramural hematoma is an uncommon complication of diagnostic colonoscopy, with only a handful of reported cases (2)(3)(4). Colonic hematomas have been reported in children secondary to accidental and nonaccidental trauma, bleeding disorders, and anticoagulant therapy (5)(6)(7)(8). This is one of the first reported case of colonic hematoma complicating diagnostic colonoscopy in a pediatric patient. ...

... 6 However, some studies found that even in the absence of the characteristic symptoms of GER such as heartburn, regurgitation, pain on swallowing, dysphagia, hemorrhage, or 'water brash', chil- dren with chest pain could be diagnosed as GERD. 4,9 Dekel et al. also indicated that the symptom index provided very little improvement in diagnosing GERD-related noncardiac chest pain in adults. 10 Similarly in our study, except for the respiratory associated symptoms for proximal sensor (Table 4), GERD symptom positivity (frequency of characteristic symptoms of GERD) was not significantly different between GERD-positive and GERD-negative groups for both sensors. ...
