The Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition provides a forum for original papers and reviews dealing with pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, including normal and abnormal functions of the alimentary tract and its associated organs, including the salivary glands, pancreas, gallbladder, and liver. Particular emphasis is on development and its relation to infant and childhood nutrition.

How does malnutrition affect rotavirus vaccine performance? ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’‰

In this multinational study across 19 countries, rotavirus vaccine effectiveness was lower among chronically malnourished (stunted) children compared with well-nourished peers.

The findings highlight how nutrition and infectious disease prevention are deeply interconnected.

Another reminder that probiotic effects are strain-specific and timing matters.

Can kidney injury biomarkers help predict severity in pediatric pancreatitis? ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿงช

This study found that biomarkers including KIM-1 and cystatin-C distinguished acute from chronic pancreatitis and were elevated early in children who developed more severe disease.

These findings may help improve early risk stratification and recognition of kidney dysfunction in pediatric pancreatitis.

How closely are clinicians following published guidance for pediatric hepatic hemangiomas?

This study found substantial variability in recommended screening and follow-up practices for both infantile and congenital hepatic hemangiomas. Many patients did not receive complete screening evaluations, and loss to follow-up before documented resolution was common.

An important reminder that standardized approaches and longitudinal follow-up matter in these rare but potentially serious conditions.

Noncirrhotic portal hypertension ( ) in children remains rare, complex, and high risk.

In this series, children most often presented with splenomegaly or GI bleeding, and many had significant varices despite the absence of cirrhosis. Even with intervention, ongoing bleeding remained a challenge for some patients.

An important look at the diverse etiologies and outcomes of pediatric NCPH.

Telemedicine for pediatric ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ป

This study found that telemedicine follow-up dramatically reduced COโ‚‚ emissions, costs, travel time, and missed workdays compared with in-person visits, while maintaining high satisfaction and similar dietary adherence.

An interesting look at how virtual care may support both families and sustainability goals.

Vitamin D may play a bigger role in pediatric outcomes than we think โ˜€๏ธ

In this study, children with adequate vitamin D levels had significantly better response and remission rates on anti-TNF therapy. Those with deficiency were much more likely to require treatment intensification.

Another reminder to pay attention to nutritional status alongside disease management.

Can a simple CBC help predict pediatric phenotype? ๐Ÿฉธ

This study suggests routine blood count parameters may provide useful clues at diagnosis. In Crohnโ€™s disease, low lymphocyte counts and low lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratios were linked with more complicated and perianal disease behavior.

Simple, accessible tools may still have important prognostic value.
