Filter by:This study is continued evaluation of the safety and probable benefit of the Flourish Pediatric Esophageal Atresia device through the Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) pathway.
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) become more and more common in diagnosing gastroenterology diseases. The investigators want to find which symptoms can support for positive endoscopic findings through this multicenter study.
Objective: The small bowel volvulus is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction which may occur in utero and whose prenatal diagnosis is difficult.Sonographic signs are mainly indirect and non specific.The aim of this study is to present a retrospective analysis of prenatal sonographicfindings in fetal segmental midgut volvulus.Thanks to this series the investigators could highlight the more specifics signs of the volvulus included a new pattern.
The aim of this study was to assess the value of an unusual relative position of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and vein (SMV) to screen intestinal malrotation with a higher risk of volvulus. First, feasibility study was done to prove the reproducibility of ultrasound in diagnosis of anormal mesenteric vessels position. A systematic screening of the mesenteric vessels position was performed at each pregnancy required ultrasound. When the fœtus had an unusual position of the mesenteric vessels, an MRI was suggested between 30 and 35 GA and the couple met the pediatric surgery team. Few days after birth, an abdominal ultrasound was achieved as well as a barium enema and upper gastrointestinal. If there were a hight probability of malrotation with a higher risk of volvulus, a prophylactic surgery was proposed. The children were flollowed up during 1 year.
the investigators propose to carry out a prospective study consisting of a systematic research of digestive symptoms in patients with SGSp with the validated Global symptom score (GSS) questionnaire, which allowed to grades severity of 10 digestive symptoms (absent, mild, moderate, or severe), asthenia and fever.

The Mayo Clinic Conduit Report Card Questionnaires have been created in order to have a consistent evaluation tools for patients undergoing esophageal reconstruction or treatment or patients that are experiencing an upper digestive disease in order to standardize and validate outcome measures. Data will be used to establish the validation of the questionnaires/survey. Data will also lead to the establishment of "normal" or expected scores for patients undergoing each type of esophagectomy procedure and for upper digestive diseases. Data will contribute to creating treatment algorithms for symptom management for upper digestive diseases and for post-operative complications and symptoms as well as contribute to pre-operative education.
The aim of this single center study is to measure the impact of standardized neonatal pediatric surgeries due to gastrointestinal malformations on the children's motor and cognitive development and psycho-emotional competence. To measure the neurodevelopment, the children will be tested with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development II Assessment.

Excessive exposure to manganese (Mn) results in Mn deposition in the brain causing adverse neurological effects. Sick infants requiring parenteral nutrition (PN) may be at increased risk of Mn neurotoxicity because neonatal PN solutions contain high concentrations of Mn. This proposal will investigate brain deposition of Mn, a paramagnetic element, by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in preterm and term neonates receiving Mn-supplemented PN and gestational age-matched control infants. The goals of this project are to identify neonatal populations that are at increased risk of excessive brain Mn deposition based on their gestational age, iron status, hepatic function and dietary Mn intake, and to make evidence-based recommendations for appropriate Mn supplementation and monitoring of infants receiving PN.
