Speaker: Dr. Graeme O’Connor, RD PhD. – Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, University College London and Institute of Child Health, UK

The acknowleded pediatric gastroenterologist and researcher Johan Van Limbergen will during this webinar guide you throught the rationale behind nutritonal therapies for IBD and give updates on the latest CDED research.

This lecture will cover key topics, including the typical symptoms and predictors of GERD in children, as well as overlapping symptoms that may indicate other diagnoses. Dr. Ralf Heine will discuss the diagnostic criteria and current international and nordic guidelines for assessment, along with recommended treatment options. Additionally, the session will explore the connections between Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGID) and Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA), highlighting relevant research that informs clinical practice. 

In this 45 min webinar you can listen to pediatrician and phd Carina Saunders discuss recent research on early development of the microbiome, from pre-birth to solid foods. Even before birth the gut microbiome starts developing. After that there’s several environmental factors that become important in this development. Dr.Saunders also touches on subjects such as early introduction of allergens and composition of diet ones the child starts solid foods.

Föreläsning av Maria Rehbinder, leg. dietist Maria har en gedigen erfarenhet av att arbeta med kostbehandling till patienter som har diabetes. Under föreläsningen delar Maria med sig av vad som är viktigt att tänka på när man har en patient som har undernäring och samtidig diabetes framför sig, och vad det är som man ofta missar att tänka på. Maria ger dessutom ge konkreta råd och förslag kring kostbehandlingen, och delar med sig av hur hon tänker kring energi- och proteinbehov, kolhydratintag, fördelning av makronutrienter, berikning av mat, och vad som är viktigt att ta hänsyn till vid val av näringsdryck.

Diagnosis of functional disorders in infants poses a challenge to clinicians as symptoms of different conditions often overlap or simply represent normal infant behaviors. CoMiSS™ can support clinicians in determining if symptoms are related to cow’s milk or not.    

In the webinar, the important role of protein and protein quality in the nutritional treatment will be highlighted. Professor Philipp Schuetz will talk about the importance of malnutrition management and individualized nutritional support to improve patients’ outcome. Additionally, Ola Wallengren will give insights on what role protein and protein quality have in the nutritional treatment, along with current protein recommendations and strategies to meet them.

This real-world evidence study explores the results from a UK multi-centre retrospective study of children who have switched to a tube feed containing food-derived ingredients. Read the publication, or watch our webinar where speakers discuss the positive outcomes and the potential impact they might have on local guidelines or day to day clinical practice. 

We have seen increasing interest in using blenderized real food for enteral nutrition. How is the trend evolving, what is the impact on pediatric patients, and should it be supported by healthcare professionals?   

Cerebral palsy (CP) is among the most common neurological impairment. It is caused by nonprogressive damage or malformation while the brain is developing and can affect individual’s speech, motor skills, vision, memory, muscle actions, and learning abilities. The symposium chaired by Prof. Frederic Gottrand highlight the advances in supportive care that have extended the life expectancy of people with CP while also pointed to a key problem experienced by patients: chronic undernutrition or malnutrition. Prof. Gottrand presented strategies in nutritional management of CP including the importance of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy to help patient reaching his nutritional needs. Prof. Claudio Romano, put emphasis on the use of fiber in enteral nutrition for CP patients and its benefit in improving nutritional status, diarrhea and constipation.
