Consensus guidelines of ECCO/ESPGHAN on the medical management of pediatric Crohn's disease.

TL;DR: These guidelines are intended to give practical (whenever possible evidence-based) answers to (pediatric) gastroenterologists who take care of children and adolescents with CD, since many different clinical scenario exist requiring treatment strategies not covered by or different from these guidelines.

Serum concentrations of tumour necrosis factor alpha in childhood chronic inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: Production of TNF alpha may be associated with growth failure in relapse of colonic inflammatory bowel disease and it may diminish pituitary growth hormone release.

Mucosal healing and a fall in mucosal pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA induced by a specific oral polymeric diet in paediatric Crohn's disease.

TL;DR: Although enteral nutrition is a recognized form of treatment for intestinal Crohn’s disease, there are persisting problems with feed palatability and only limited data as to its mode of action.

Clinical longitudinal standards for height, weight, height velocity, weight velocity, and stages of puberty.

TL;DR: New charts for height, weight, height velocity, and weight velocity are presented for clinical (as opposed to population survey) use, based on longitudinal-type growth curves, using the same data as in the British 1965 growth standards.
