Does Helicobacter Pylori Protect Against Eosinophilic Esophagitis In Children?, Yoram Elitsur Md, Baraa Alabd Alrazzak, Deborah L. Preston, Yulia Demetieva Sep 2014

Does Helicobacter Pylori Protect Against Eosinophilic Esophagitis In Children?, Yoram Elitsur Md, Baraa Alabd Alrazzak, Deborah L. Preston, Yulia Demetieva

Deborah L Preston

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)
in children seem to have a reversed association with socioeconomic status
(hygienic condition) and allergy conditions. While Hp infection (Hp) is
highly associated with poor hygiene and/or poor socioeconomic status, but
not with allergic conditions (asthma, rhinitis, etc.), EoE has the opposite
epidemiological relationship (high association with allergy but low with low
hygienic conditions).

Aim: To investigate the association between Hp infection and EoE in children.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of all children who undergo the first
upper endoscopy procedure in the gastroenterology clinic, between 2007
and 2012, was performed. Demographic, …

Data From: The Effects Of Vitamin D Supplementation On Hepatic Dysfunction, Vitamin D Status, And Glycemic Control In Children And Adolescents With Vitamin D Deficiency And Either Type 1 Or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Benjamin U. Nwosu, Louise S. Maranda Jun 2014

Data From: The Effects Of Vitamin D Supplementation On Hepatic Dysfunction, Vitamin D Status, And Glycemic Control In Children And Adolescents With Vitamin D Deficiency And Either Type 1 Or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Benjamin U. Nwosu, Louise S. Maranda

Benjamin U. Nwosu

Background: The effects of vitamin D supplementation on mild hepatic dysfunction and glycemic control are unclear in children and adolescents with either type 1 (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D). Hypothesis: Vitamin D supplementation will improve hepatic dysfunction and glycemic control. Aim: To determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on alanine transaminase (ALT), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration. Subjects and Methods: A retrospective study of 131 subjects with either T1D (n=88: 46 females, 42 males), or T2D ( n=43: 26 females, 17 males) of ages 3-18 years between 2007-2013. All subjects had (1) a diagnosis …
