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, …

OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to evaluate how the use of a pervasive blood glucose monitoring (BGM) technology relates to glycemic control, report of self-care behavior, and emotional response to BGM of children with type 1 diabetes and their parents. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Forty-eight children aged less than 12 years (mean 8.8 years) with type 1 diabetes were randomly assigned to one of two study groups, a control group (conventional care without technology) or an experimental group (conventional care with technology), and followed for 12 months. Families in the experimental group were given the Automated Diabetes Management System (ADMS), …
