TL;DR: In this article, identical adolescent twin girls who presented with symptoms consistent with type 1 diabetes were diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) in both of them, and they were sent to hospital for evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms.
Abstract: We describe identical adolescent twin girls who presented with symptoms consistent with type 1 diabetes. Medical work up for evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms led to a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) in both. These cases suggest that diabetes can be a presenting symptom of CF in the absence of pulmonary symptomatology.

TL;DR: The findings of this initial investigation seem to support a major role of Orexin-A in sleep organization alterations in children with FNFRI and suggest that sleep habits evaluation should be considered as screening and complementary tool for the diagnosis of fecal incontinence in children.
Abstract: Functional non-retentive fecal incontinence (FNRFI) is a common problem in pediatric age. FNRFI is defined as unintended loss of stool in a 4-year-old or older child after organic causes have been excluded. FNRFI tends to affects up to 3% of children older than 4 years, with males being affected more frequently than females. Clinically, children affected by FNRFI have normal intestinal movements and stool consistency. Literature data show that children with fecal incontinence have increased levels of separation anxiety, specific phobias, general anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and oppositional defiant disorder. In terms of possible relationship between incontinence and sleep, disorders of sleep organization have been observed in the pathogenesis of enuresis so generating the hypothesis that the orexinergic system may have a crucial role not only for the sleep organization per se but also for the sphincterial control in general. This study aimed to focus on specific neurophysiological aspects to investigate on the possible relationship between sleep organizational abnormalities and FNRFI. Specifically, we aimed to measure orexin serum levels in children with FNRFI and assess their polysomnographic sleep macrostructure patterns. Two study groups were considered: FNFRI (n = 45) and typically developed (TD) (n = 45) group. In both groups, sleep patterns and respiratory events were assessed by polysomnographic recordings (PSG) during a period of two nights at least, and plasma levels of Orexin-A were measured in each participant. The findings of this initial investigation seem to support a major role of Orexin-A in sleep organization alterations in children with FNFRI. Also, our data suggest that sleep habits evaluation should be considered as screening and complementary tool for the diagnosis of fecal incontinence in children.

TL;DR: The indications and options for Gastrostomy placement are reviewed, current concepts in gastrostomy tube care are outlined, and the most frequently asked questions about the discharge and home care of infants with a gastrostome tube are answered.
Abstract: The decision to place a gastrostomy tube in an infant can be confusing and difficult for both parents and professionals. A unified team approach is critical to communication and collaboration. Once the decision is made, coordinated parent education, discharge planning, and community integration are essential to facilitate a safe discharge. This article reviews the indications and options for gastrostomy placement, outlines current concepts in gastrostomy tube care, and answers the most frequently asked questions about the discharge and home care of infants with a gastrostomy tube.

TL;DR: The addition of a single-incision suburethral sling at the time of robotic sacrocolpopexy in women with SUI resulted in an 87 % cure rate at 1 year.
Abstract: Introduction and hypothesis
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Miniarc Precise® single-incision sling (American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, MN, USA) placed at the time of a robotic sacrocolpopexy.
