Cultural adaptation and validation of the Spanish version of the Cow's Milk-related Symptom Score (CoMiSS) for cow's milk protein allergy. Rev Gastroenterol Mex (Engl Ed) 2023; 88:44-49.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS The prevalence of cow's milk protein allergy in the first year of life varies from 1.8 to 7.5%. The Cow's Milk-related Symptom Score (CoMiSS) was published in 2014 and facilitates the diagnosis of cow's milk protein allergy. It is not meant to replace the clinical diagnosis, but rather to guide the treating team in the diagnostic process and reduce unnecessary diets. The aim was to translate the CoMiSS from English to Spanish and culturally adapt and validate the resulting Spanish version. MATERIALS AND METHODS An adaptation and validation study on the CoMiSS questionnaire was carried out in two phases: First, the CoMiSS was translated from English to Spanish, after which interrater reliability of the translated score was assessed. Second, interrater reliability tests were carried out on 32 pediatric patients under 7 years of age that were treated for the first time at the Food Allergy Clinic of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, were suspected of having cow's milk protein allergy, and had not received any treatment, within the time frame of May 2018 and May 2019. RESULTS Thirty-two patients were evaluated, 14 of whom were females (45%), and the median patient age was 3 months (IQR 2-4). The median result of the first measurement of the scale was 7.0 (IQR 4.5-9.0) and the median of the second measurement was 5.0 (IQR 4.0-8.0). The final intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.80 (95% CI 0.63-0.9). CONCLUSION The Spanish translation of the CoMiSS was comparable to the original English version, with excellent interrater reliability. This simple and little-known tool has the benefit of being a noninvasive, rapid, reliable, and easy-to-use strategy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS The primary aim was to explore the epidemiologic trend of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease in Latin America, and the secondary aims were to obtain an overview of the diagnostic/therapeutic focus of the members of the LASPGHAN and examine the relation of case frequency to year, during the study period. MATERIALS AND METHODS Latin American pediatric gastroenterologists participated in an online survey, conducted through the SurveyMonkey platform, that investigated the yearly frequency of new inflammatory bowel disease patients within the time frame of 2005-2016, their disease variety, the gastrointestinal segments affected, and the diagnostic and treatment methods utilized. The correlation of new case frequency with each study year was evaluated. RESULTS A total of 607 patients were studied. The diagnoses were ulcerative colitis in 475 (78.3%) cases, Crohn's disease in 104 (17.1%), and inflammatory bowel disease D unclassified in 28 (4.6%). The trend in ulcerative colitis was a lineal increase in the frequency of new cases related to each study year, with a significant correlation coefficient. Pancolitis was found in 67.6% of the patients. The diagnostic methods included clinical data, endoscopy, and biopsies in more than 99% of the cases, and imaging studies were indicated selectively. Drug regimens were limited to 5-aminosalicylic acid derivatives, azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, infliximab, and adalimumab. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease in Latin America appears to have increased during the years included in the study period, with a predominance of moderate or severe ulcerative colitis. That lineal trend suggests the predictive likelihood of a gradual increase in the coming years, with possible epidemiologic and clinical implications.

Abstract
Due to the wide availability, rapid execution, low cost, and possibility of being acquired at the patient's bed, chest X-Ray is a fundamental tool in the diagnosis, follow-up and evaluation of the treatment effectiveness of patients with pneumonia, also in the context of COVID-19 infection. However, false negative cases are possible. We report 4 cases of false negative chest X-Rays, in patients who were diagnosed positive for COVID-19 by real-time transverse-transcript-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and executed chest unenhanced CTs just after the X-Rays, demonstrating signs of COVID-19 pneumonia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventriculography is still considered an unavoidable step for functional target localization, even though this method is invasive and requires stereotactic rooms, orthogonal frames, and parallax-free X-ray equipment. In this experimental study, the authors investigated the feasibility of performing stereotactic lesions using a conventional, widely employed frame, such as the Brown-Roberts-Wells (BRW) apparatus, and computerized axial tomography (CAT) imaging. METHODS Five ex vivo models consisting of cadaveric brains enclose in a plastic shell were fixed in a BRW frame. A simple BRW implementation was used to ensure more symmetrical placement of the basal ring. Two-millimeter plastic balls were inserted at the level of the anterior (AC) and posterior commissures (PC) and at the target in the pallidus. Their final position was measured on the anatomical specimens and compared with Schaltenbrand Atlas maps. RESULTS The error in estimating the length of the intercommissural line ranged from 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm, with a maximum backward angulation of four degrees in predicting the AC-PC plane. Upon dissection, in four out of five cases, the balls were found within the area of the pallidus defined by Laitinen for posteroventral pallidotomy. CONCLUSIONS The authors conclude that anatomical identification of the AC-PC line and the pallidus target, using the BRW stereotactic system and CAT axial images alone offers sufficient accuracy. They suggest that functional neurosurgery for movement disorders could be safely and successfully carried out without ventriculography if neurophysiological monitoring is also employed.

Abstract
Arachnoid cysts are well known to the neurosurgeon, and the evolution of their surgical treatment has followed technological advances in neurosurgical procedures and techniques. With the recent mastering of neuroendoscopy by the neurosurgeons, it is becoming the modality of choice for the treatment of arachnoid cysts. A neonate harboring a middle parasagittal arachnoid cyst benefited from stereotactically guided endoscopy. We report this case because of its peculiarities and introduce technical details about the procedure which are not found in the literature.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of our investigation was to study in normal volunteers the response to a unilateral common carotid (CC) compression test using dynamic MRI sensitive to variations in blood magnetic susceptibility. METHOD Nine volunteers, positioned in a 1.5 T MR scanner, performed a unilateral 40 to 45 s CC self-compression during the acquisition of single slice axial T2*-weighted FLASH images. RESULTS In three subjects, the signal showed a significant 2% drop from baseline in the ipsilateral frontal temporal cortex during the compression. In another three subjects, a significant 1.5-2% signal decrease was observed in both hemispheres. In two subjects whose MR angiography showed abnormalities of the circle of Willis, the bilateral signal drop was more remarkable (3%). In one volunteer, the signal did not change. CONCLUSION Increased deoxyhemoglobin within the brain microcirculation is the probable explanation for the signal drop. This method could be further tested in view of the widespread use of open interventional MR units.

Abstract
Adolescents with coeliac disease often fail to adhere to a strict gluten free diet. The effectiveness of intestinal permeability to sugars as a marker of slight dietary transgressions by such adolescents was assessed. Severe dietary transgressions were excluded from the study. Subjects were divided into two groups according to whether they committed slight dietary transgressions or adhered to a strict gluten free diet. A reference group of preadolescents with coeliac disease was also included in the study. Intestinal permeability and antigliadin antibody tests were performed on all patients. The diagnostic marker of intestinal permeability was excellent in the reference group. Neither the intestinal permeability test nor antigliadin antibody tests, however, succeeded in discriminating between the two groups of adolescents considered in this study. In conclusion the intestinal permeability test is not a valid marker for slight dietary transgression in such patients.
