Short bowel syndrome in infants and children: an overview

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery

Abstract

Short bowel syndrome is a spectrum of malnutrition resulting from inadequate bowel length. In infant and pediatric patients, the most common causes are necrotizing enterocolitis, abdominal wall defects, jejunal ileal atresia, and mid gut volvulus. There appear to be regional variations in etiology. Since the publication of Wilmore's classic monograph in 1972, there have been significant improvements in monitoring and nutritional support. In the modern era, survival rate ranges from 80% to 94%, and the presence or absence the ileal cecal valve appears to not impact on mortality rate, but does significantly affect the length of time on total parenteral nutrition TPN. The most common morbidities remain sepsis, both central line related and bacterial overgrowth, and TPN cholestasis. Long-term recovery of these children often is remarkably normal, but there is a 10% to 15% incidence of neurologic and developmental defects. The clinical and ethical considerations around the care of infants with 20 to 40 cm of residual bowel remains controversial, as does the place of intestinal transplantation, especially in patients developing gut failure in infancy. Perioperative surgical decision making plays a critical role in the long-term outco...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
