Abstract
Domperidone is a peripheral dopamine-2 receptor antagonist with prokinetic and antiemetic properties. Its prokinetic effects are mainly manifest in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Currently its use is restricted to relief of nausea and vomiting in children older than 12 years for a short period of time. However, among (pediatric) gastroenterologists, domperidone is also used outside its authorized indication ("off label") for treatment of symptoms associated with gastro-esophageal reflux disease, dyspepsia, and gastroparesis. Little is known about its efficacy in the treatment of GI motility disorders in children and controversial data have emerged in the pediatric literature. As its use is off label, appropriate knowledge of its efficacy is helpful to support an "off label/on evidence" prescription. Based on this, the purpose of this review is to summarize all evidence on the efficacy of domperidone for the treatment of GI disorders in infants and children and to report an overview of its pharmacological properties and safety profile.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in children is very common and refers to the involuntary passage of gastric contents into the esophagus. This is often physiological and managed conservatively. In contrast, GER disease (GERD) is a less common pathologic process causing troublesome symptoms, which may need medical management. Apart from abnormal transient relaxations of the lower esophageal sphincter, other factors that play a role in the pathogenesis of GERD include defects in esophageal mucosal defense, impaired esophageal and gastric motility and clearance, as well as anatomical defects of the lower esophageal reflux barrier such as hiatal hernia. The clinical manifestations of GERD in young children are varied and nonspecific prompting the necessity for careful diagnostic evaluation. Management should be targeted to the underlying aetiopathogenesis and to limit complications of GERD. The following review focuses on up-to-date information regarding of the pathogenesis, diagnostic evaluation and management of GERD in children.

Abstract
Introduction: Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in infants is worldwide diagnosed with increasing frequency, resulting in an increasing number of infants exposed to treatment. In this review, we focus on the safety of therapeutic options. Areas covered: English articles were searched from 1990 until May 2020 in PubMed and Google Scholar. Evidence suggests that non-pharmacological treatment is often effective and safe. Guidelines restrict pharmacological treatment to acid-suppressive medication, which is associated with adverse effects, often related to gastro-intestinal dysbiosis and consequences of the latter. Aluminum-free alginates have some efficacy and are not associated with relevant adverse effects. Especially in infants, GERD is often nonacid related. Prokinetics are not recommended because of lack of efficacy and numerous adverse effects. Expert opinion: Pediatric trials are underpowered regarding adverse effects. The number of infants exposed to anti-secretory agents is increasing worldwide, often without indication. Informing healthcare providers about adverse effects of acid-secretory medication may contribute to a more rational use. Acid inhibiting agents such as alginates are a drug class associated with limited efficacy and devoid of serious adverse effects. Regarding prokinetics, the risk of adverse effects outweighs the benefit. Reassurance of parents and nutritional management of GERD in infants is effective and safe.

Abstract
After Alzheimer, Parkinson disease (PD) is the most frequently occurring progressive, degenerative neurological disease. It affects both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems in a variable fashion. Cardiovascular symptoms are present in almost all stages of PD and narrower heart rate variability is the earliest sign. Administration of Levodopa to PD patients has proven to provide some degree of neurological protection. This drug, however, causes side effects including nausea and vomiting, lessened by the administration of domperidone. Autopsies in PD patients led some researchers to suggest the involvement of the ventricular arrhythmia induced by domperidone. The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of the adjusted human maximal dose of domperidone, on cardiological features of Wistar rats. domperidone was administered to both 6-hydroxydopamine Parkinsonism models and regular Wistar rats. Quantitative analysis of ranges of heart beat variation showed significant abnormal distribution in both groups receiving domperidone as compared with respective sham counterparts. However, qualitative analysis of Poincaré plots showed that 6-hydroxydopamine Parkinsonism models receiving domperidone had the narrowest full range of heart beat and the worst distribution heart beat ranges as compared with all study groups corroborating with previous suggestion that domperidone administration to PD patients is likely to play a role in sudden unexpected death in this group of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This meta-analysis aimed to assess the cardiac safety profile of domperidone treatment for the risk of cardiovascular (CV) event and QT prolongation. METHODS Data from nine studies involving 101,155 patients were used for the analysis of CV event risk, while data from eight studies involving 390 patients were used for the analysis of QT prolongation risk. RESULTS Meta-analysis findings suggested a significant increase in CV risk under domperidone as compared to no treatment for domperidone doses of >30 mg/day (OR: 3.14, 95% CI, 1.191 to 8.304, p = 0.021), no significant increase in QT prolongation event rates with domperidone (3.54%, 95% CI, 1.73% to 7.10%) and a significantly lower CV risk for domperidone than for metoclopramide (OR: 0.63, 95% CI, 0.58 to 0.70, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The present meta-analysis indicates that domperidone treatment may not be associated with an overall CV event risk increase at doses ≤30 mg/day and does not result in QT prolongation.

Abstract
Succinic anhydride (SAD) modified microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) films was prepared and used for the controlled release of the drug domperidone (dom). The morphology and chemical structure of the modified materials were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD and TG/DSC techniques. The physical properties, such as water uptake and swelling, light barrier properties, mechanical testing, in vitro degradation behavior, have been investigated. Results showed that the modified cellulose membranes exhibited good anti-UV properties, higher water uptake values, improved mechanical capacity and anti-biodegradability. In addition, the modified MCC films (MS) as the drug carrier indicated the controlled release of domperidone and the release mechanism was proposed using Korsmeyer-Peppas equation at pH 7.4. The developed drug delivery system possessed the profound significance in improving pharmacodynamics and bioavailability of drugs.

Abstract
This document serves as an update of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) and the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) 2009 clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in infants and children and is intended to be applied in daily practice and as a basis for clinical trials. Eight clinical questions addressing diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic topics were formulated. A systematic literature search was performed from October 1, 2008 (if the question was addressed by 2009 guidelines) or from inception to June 1, 2015 using Embase, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials. The approach of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) was applied to define and prioritize outcomes. For therapeutic questions, the quality of evidence was also assessed using GRADE. Grading the quality of evidence for other questions was performed according to the Quality Assessment of Studies of Diagnostic Accuracy (QUADAS) and Quality in Prognostic Studies (QUIPS) tools. During a 3-day consensus meeting, all recommendations were discussed and finalized. In cases where no randomized controlled trials (RCT; therapeutic questions) or diagnostic accuracy studies were available to support the recommendations, expert opinion was used. The group members voted on each recommendation, using the nominal voting technique. With this approach, recommendations regarding evaluation and management of infants and children with GERD to standardize and improve quality of care were formulated. Additionally, 2 algorithms were developed, 1 for infants <12 months of age and the other for older infants and children.

Abstract
Objective: To find out the effects of domperidone in combination with omeprazole in the treatment of chronic superficial gastritis (CSG). Methods: Ninety-six patients who suffered from CSG and received treatment in the Binzhou People’s Hospital from July 2013 to July 2014 were selected as research subjects. They were divided into a control group (48 cases) and a test group (48 cases) using double blind method. Patients in the control group were treated by omeprazole, while patients in the observation group were treated by domperidone in combination with omeprazole. The clinical effects of the two groups were observed and analyzed. Results: The scores of symptoms had no significant difference between the two groups before treatment. The improvement of the scores of symptoms in the test group was superior to that in the control group after treatment (P<0.05). The overall response rate of the test group was 97.92% (47/48), higher than that of the control group (75.00%). After treatment, the repair effect of gastric mucosa and the postoperative recurrence rate in the test group were superior to those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Domperidone in combination with omeprazole can achieve ideal effect in the treatment of CSG, which is of great significance to the treatment and prognosis of patients.
