Colonic lymphoid nodular hyperplasia in children: relationship to food hypersensitivity
Giuseppe Iacono,Alberto Ravelli,Lidia Di Prima,C. Scalici,Stefania Bolognini,Sara Chiappa,Giuseppe Pirrone,Giuseppina Licastri,Antonio Carroccio +8 more
TL;DR: The presence of LNH in the colon and/or terminal ileum is a frequent finding in symptomatic children undergoing colonoscopy and unless associated with other specific endoscopic or histologic lesions, LNH is related to a condition of delayed-type food hypersensitivity.

Caring for children with autism spectrum disorder. Part I: prevalence, etiology, and core features.
TL;DR: A basic understanding of the current issues regarding prevalence and etiology, coupled with knowledge of the core features of ASD, will help pediatric nurses in all settings and at various practice levels better care for these children.

Is autism a G-alpha protein defect reversible with natural vitamin A?
TL;DR: A study of 60 autistic children suggests that autism may be caused by inserting a G-alpha protein defect, the pertussis toxin found in the DPT vaccine, into genetically at-risk children.

Heat Shock Protein and Gliadin Peptide Promote Development of Peptidase Antibodies in Children with Autism and Patients with Autoimmune Disease
Aristo Vojdani,Mohsen Bazargan,Elroy Vojdani,John Samadi,Alen A. Nourian,Navid Eghbalieh,Edwin L. Cooper +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that superantigens and dietary proteins in individuals with predisposing HLA molecules bind to aminopeptidases and they induce autoantibodies to peptides and tissue antigens, which may result in neuroimmune dysregulation and autoimmunity.

The Autistic Spectrum
TL;DR: A simple system of subgrouping based solely on a description of the type of social impairment will be used, which avoids the confusion inherent in trying to identify the named syndromes.

Abnormal intestinal permeability in children with autism.
Patrizia D'Eufemia,Mauro Celli,R. Finocchiaro,Lucia Pacifico,L Viozzi,M. Zaccagnini,Ettore Cardi,Omero Giardini +7 more
TL;DR: It is speculated that an altered intestinal permeability could represent a possible mechanism for the increased passage through the gut mucosa of peptides derived from foods with subsequent behavioural abnormalities.

A neurochemical theory of autism
TL;DR: Panksepp et al. as discussed by the authors put forward the idea that autism is an emotional disturbance arising from an upset in the opiate systems in the brain, and hence proposed, as a possibility, opiate antagonist therapy for the autistic syndrome.
