APGNN ANNUAL MEETING Building A Strong Foundation
October 21 – 22, 2011 Orlando, FL
Association of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition Nurses
October 2122, 2011
Dear APGNN Meeting Participants:
Welcome to Orlando! We are excited to present an excellent program! Our Program Committee chair, Patty Bierly, and her committee have been working hard since last year to ensure a high quality, timely and exciting educational meeting. Thank you!
Please take some time to read through the syllabus. Remember that your comments help us to plan next year’s program! Plan to attend committee meetings on Friday afternoon, please see the schedule for details. This is a wonderful way to find out how YOU can become more involved in APGNN. We are only as strong as our members! No commitment necessary, just come and find out what these committees are all about!
Join us for breakfast and an APGNN update on Friday morning at 7:30. Don’t forget the annual APGNN Social Event on Friday evening at 6:00. This is a fun, relaxed way to network and meet friends.
I would like to extend my thanks to the wonderful APGNN leadership team. I am wrapping up my term as President and I can say without a doubt that I would have been lost without their support and encouragement. Being APGNN President has been a distinct honor and privilege. We will be saying goodbye to Mary Alice Tully who finishes her term as Past President. Mary Alice, you have been amazing and we are so grateful to you for your service! Your next President will be Lisa Philichi who brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the role!
Finally, I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Kathleen Schwarz, MD, NASPGHAN President, and NASPGHAN leadership. You have been so welcoming to me personally and as APGNN President. APGNN deeply appreciates your support and we look forward to a continued strong relationship. A special thank you to NASPGHAN staff: Margaret Stallings, Kate Ho and Kim Rose. We know we cannot do this without you and we are so grateful for your hard work and patience!
Sincerely,
Robin Shannon, MS, RN, CPNP President, APGNN 20092011 Please check our website, www.apgnn.org, for ongoing updates throughout the year! Your updated leadership team contact information can be found there. Please reach out to us!

What is Celiac Disease?
Auto-immune condition
Occurs in genetically susceptible individuals
A unique autoimmune disorder because… Environmental trigger (gluten) and the autoantigen (tissue-transglutaminase) are known Elimination of the environmental trigger leads to a complete resolution of the disease Permanent sensitivity to gluten
9
33 Why is it Important?
If untreated it poses long-term adverse health consequences including
Malabsorption Anemia Poor growth Osteopenia Increased risk of autoimmune conditions Intestinal lymphoma
10
Celiac Disease and Autoimmunity
Prevalence of autoimmune disorders in celiac disease related to duration of gluten exposure
Diagnosed before 2 years of age: 5%
Age 2-10 years: 17%
Greater than age 10 years: 24%
Ventura et al, Gastro 1999; Not , Diabetologia 2001 11
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Classically occurs in patients of Northern and Western European extraction
Also reported in Indian, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, and Sudanese patients
First described in 200 A.D. as a wasting illness
Gee in the 19th century realized diet was key for treatment
34 Occurrence
Healthy Population: 1:133 First-Degree Relative 1:18 to 1:22 Second-Degree Relative 1:24 to 1:39 Concordance in monozygotic twins is 70 % Concordance in HLA identical sibs 30-40% , suggesting other genes involved. Incidence- Females more than males
13
Pathogenesis
Genetics Gluten Necessary Causes
Gender Infant feeding Infections Pathogenesis Others ? Microbiom
Risk Factors
Celiac disease
14
Pathogenesis
Genetic- multi-factorial, polygenetic HLA DQ2 and DQ8 are most common factors however not the only Many non HLA genes have been identified
15
35 HLA-DQ association with CD
More than 90% of patients with CD have the DQ2
8-10% of patients with CD have the DQ8
Not Diagnostic: Just because you have DQ2 or DQ8 does not mean you have or will have CD. 40% of the population is DQ2+
16
Other factors
Clean theory- in developed countries increased incidence of disease Finland- CD 2X more common than neighbor, Karelia (under developed) with similar genetic makeup Gut microbata- is different in at risk CD children Stabilize later in life towards adult microbiom in predisposed children Phylum Bacteroides absent from GI microbiota up to 24 months in predisposed children
17
Infant Diet
Breast feeding should be continued while gluten introduced with slow introduction of gluten Sweden study- 3% of children diagnosed with CD when food introduction practice changed- stopped breast feeding-late introduction of cereal and baby food had added gluten Incidence decreased to 1% when cereal introduction at 4-6 months of age with continued breast feeding
18
36 Infant Diet
Unanswered Questions What age should gluten be added to diet? How much gluten is too much? 1 teaspoon /day to start Need further studies
19
Dietary Factors
The Grass Family - (GRAMINEAE) Subfamily Festucoideae
Tribe
Zizaneae Oryzeae Hordeae Aveneae Festuceaea Chlorideae
wild rice rice wheat oat finger millet teff (ragi)
rye
barley
20
The Celiac Iceberg
Symptomatic Manifest Celiac Disease mucosal lesion
Silent Celiac Disease
Latent Celiac Disease Normal Mucosa
Genetic susceptibility: - DQ2, DQ8 Positive serology
21
37 Clinical Manifestations
Gastrointestinal (“classical”) Non-gastrointestinal ( “atypical”)
Asymptomatic
Clinical Manifestations
Gastrointestinal Symptoms (“Classic”) Chronic or recurrent diarrhea Abdominal distention Abdominal pain Vomiting Anorexia Failure to thrive or weight loss Constipation Irritability
“Classic” Celiac Disease
The classic presentation:
Gastrointestinal symptoms starting between 6 and 24 months of age, after the introduction of gluten in the diet. Infant who has a “potbelly,” wasted extremities, bulky stools, irritability, and laboratory evidence of malabsorption.
38 “Classic” Celiac Disease
Non-Gastrointestinal Manifestations
Dermatitis Herpetiformis Elevated transaminases Dental enamel Arthritis hypoplasia Neurological Osteopenia Epilepsy Osteoporosis Ataxia Short Stature Neuropathy Dementia Delayed Puberty Iron Deficiency Anemia Infertility
Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Erythematous macule > urticarial papule > tense vesicles
Severe pruritus
Symmetric distribution
90% no GI symptoms
75% villous atrophy
Gluten sensitive

39 Dental Enamel Defects
Involve the secondary dentition. Commonly seen in third world countries.
28
Recurrent Aphtous Stomatitis
By permission of C. Mulder, Amsterdam (Netherlands)29
Short Stature/Delayed Puberty
Short stature in children / teens: ~10% of short children and teens have evidence of celiac disease
Delayed menarche: Higher prevalence in teens with untreated Celiac Disease
30
40 Liver
Mild elevation of AST/ALT Auto-immune Liver disease-PBC>AIH>Sclerosing Cholangitis Severe liver disease- may require transplant Interferon therapy for Hepatitis C can exacerbate CD-should screen prior to initiating therapy
31
Bone Disease in Celiac Disease
Arthritis Osteoporosis Osteopenia Osteomalacia
Rickets
32
Osteoporosis
Multifactorial Diet -lactose intolerance Malabsorption Antibodies produced that attack a key protein- osteoprotegrin-which is important in maintaining bone health – Vitamin D /Calcium does not help -need Bisphosphonates
33
41 Neurological and Behavioral Problems
Zelnick et al. Pediatrics. 2004. 34
Malignancies
T cell lymphoma
Prevalence as high as 8%
With poor adherence to a gluten free diet, pts may have a 40X increased risk of non- Hodgkins lymphoma
35
MALIGNANCIES
Increased risk of :
Adenocarcinoma of small intestine
Squamous cell Ca of mouth , oropharynx, and esophagus (10X)
Mortality increased in patients with poor compliance or delay in Dx
36
42 Asymptomatic
Silent Latent
Silent: No or minimal symptoms, “damaged” mucosa and positive serology
Identified by screening asymptomatic individuals from groups at risk.
37
Asymptomatic
Asymptomatic patients are still at risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis And other autoimmune conditions . Treatment with a gluten-free diet is recommended for asymptomatic children with proven intestinal changes of Celiac Disease who have:
Type 1 diabetes – Williams syndrome – Noonan’s syndrome Selective IgA deficiency – Autoimmune thyroiditis Down syndrome Down syndrome – a first degree relative with Turner syndrome Celiac Disease
38
Increased Incidence
Type 1 Diabetes 10-20% Down syndrome 5% Turner syndrome 5% Williams syndrome 5% Selective IgA deficiency 5% First degree relatives Celiacs 10%
39
43 Prevalence of Celiac Disease is Higher in Other Autoimmune Conditions
Thyroiditis: 4 - 8% Arthritis: 1.5 - 7.5% Autoimmune liver diseases: 6 - 8% Sjögren’s syndrome: 2 - 15% Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy: 5.7% IgA nephropathy: 3.6%.
40
Asymptomatic
Silent Latent
Latent: No symptoms, normal mucosa
May show positive serology. Identified by following in time asymptomatic individuals previously identified at screening from groups at risk. These individuals, given the “right” circumstances, will develop at some point in time mucosal changes (± symptoms)
41
Diagnosis
42
44 PLEASE REMEMBER
DO NOT ALTER DIET UNTIL DIAGNOSIS IS MADE
Gluten free diet should not be started prior to completion of testing
43
Serological Tests
Role of serological tests: Identify symptomatic individuals who need a biopsy Screening of asymptomatic “at risk” individuals Supportive evidence for the diagnosis Monitoring dietary compliance
44
Serological Tests
Antigliadin antibodies (AGA) Deamidated gliadin IGA AND IGG have similar sensitivity and specificity Anti tissue transglutaminase antibodies (TTG)
TTG and deamidated gliadin combination gives a higher sensitivity and specificity Antiendomysial antibodies (EMA) HLA typing
45
45 Serum IgA Level
IgA deficient individuals will have false negative EMA-IgA & TTG-IgA Check IgA levels with Celiac Disease serology in all individuals Consider IgG based tests (EMA-IgG & TTG-IgG) in IgA deficiency Approximately 6 % of Celiac Disease patients have IgA deficiency
46
Antigliadin Antibodies
Antibodies (IgG and IgA) to the gluten protein in wheat, rye and barley May be elevated in SLE and other autoimmune conditions Advantages Relatively cheap & easy to perform Improved sensitivity & specificity in children Disadvantages Poor sensitivity and specificity
47
Deamidated Gliadin Antibody
Most recent antibody test available. Based on the conversion of certain gluten peptides to deamidated peptides by the action of intestinal TTG. Antibody response to deamidated gliadin in patients with Celiac Disease seems to be more intense than the antibody response to native gluten (AGA). Recent studies have shown that anti-TTG performs better, and it currently is significantly less costly than anti-DGP testing.
48
46 Tissue Transglutaminase - TTG
IgA based antibody against tissue transglutaminase (Celiac Disease autoantigen) Advantages High sensitivity and specificity (human TTG) Non operator dependent (ELISA/RIA) Relatively cheap Disadvantages False negative in young children Only slightly less specific than EMA
49
Endomysial Antibody - EMA
Advantages High sensitivity and specificity Found in 90-100% of celiac patients Found in 60-70% of dermatitis herpetiformis patients Disadvantages False negatives in young children Operator dependent Expensive & time consuming
50
HLA Tests
Potential role for DQ2/DQ8 Asymptomatic relatives Trisomy 21, Turner & Williams syndrome Type 1 diabetes Diagnostic dilemmas TTG +, EMA -, Bx -, Symptoms + ? Prognostic role of DQ2
51
47 ROLE OF ENDOSCOPY
To obtain a small intestinal biopsy for histologic analysis to establish the diagnosis of celiac
Gross endoscopic features include a scalloped appearance to the small bowel
52
Endoscopic Findings
Scalloping
Normal Appearing Scalloping Nodularity

Treatment
59
Treatment
Only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet (GFD) Strict, lifelong diet Avoid: Wheat Rye Barley Oats
60
50 Grains to Avoid
Wheat Bulgar Filler Wheat Bran Couscous Graham flour Wheat Starch Durum Kamut Wheat Germ Einkorn Matzo Flour/Meal Barley Emmer Semolina Barley Malt/ Extract Faro Spelt Rye Triticale
61
Sources of Gluten
OBVIOUS SOURCES Bread Bagels Cakes Cereal Cookies Pasta / noodles Pastries / pies Rolls
62
Sources of Gluten
POTENTIAL SOURCES – Candy – Communion wafers – Cured Pork Products – Drink mixes – Gravy – Imitation meat / seafood – Sauce – Self-basting turkeys – Soy sauce
63
51 Ingredients to Question (may contain gluten)
Seasonings and spice blends or mixes Modified food starch Malt/ malt extract/ flavoring Modified hop extract and yeast-malt sprout extract Dextrin Caramel color
64
Gluten-Free Grains and Starches
• Potato • Millet • Rice • Quinoa • Corn • Amaranth • Teff • Sorghum • Tapioca • Montina • Flax • Arrowroot • Buckwheat • Flours made from nuts, beans and seeds
65
Safe Ingredients
• Starch • Maltodextrin – Made from cornstarch, potato starch, or rice starch, but not from wheat • Vinegar and Alcohol – Distilled vinegar and distilled spirits are gluten-free, however avoid malt vinegar and malt beverages (e.g. beer)
66
52 Other Items to Consider
• Lipstick/Gloss/Balms
• Play Dough
• Stamp and Envelope Glues
• Mouthwash/Toothpaste
• Vitamin, Herbal, and Mineral preparations
• Prescription or OTC Medications
67
Remember
DIET -life long and avoid cross contamination study with 50mg gluten daily for 90 days -damage seen Less than 20 mg is recommended
68
Why is Compliance Important?
Good evidence to suggest that when children with symptomatic celiac disease adhere to a GFD it results in resolution of GI symptoms, improved growth in height and weight, and normalization of hematological and biochemical parameters (laboratories). Studies also suggest that the quality of life of children on a GFD who were symptomatic at the time of diagnosis is similar to that of children without celiac disease. Celiac disease is associated with an overall increased risk of mortality in adults which is primarily the result of GI malignancies. When CD is diagnosed in childhood or adolescence and GFD is initiated, there appears to be no increased cancer risk.
53 Monitoring Treatment
Periodic visits for assessment of symptoms, growth, and adherence to GFD
Recommend measurement of antibodies after 6 months of treatment with a GFD
Routine laboratory evaluation of CBC, CMP, Vitamin D, Hepatitis B status, Thyroid studies, Celiac panel
Compliance can be impaired
Dietary compliance can be the most difficult aspect of treatment
Difficulty in obtaining accurate information
Temptation
Time and economic constratints
71
Prevention & Future Directions
72
54 Celiac Disease-Management: The Future
Gluten free diet remains best treatment Refined understanding of “gluten free” FDA mandates better food labeling Commercial recognition of the “value” of gluten free products
73
What is on the Horizon?
TTG inhibitors -KCC009-Expected to block gluten pepetides Vaccines-Nexvax2 Gluten peptide and immunotherapy -need multiple doses to induce tolerance -Human trials Propyl endoprotease -degrades gluten in food matrix in vitro -Human trials
Larazotide-block zonulin -human trials
74
Conclusions
Celiac disease is a common, subtle enteropathy with variable presentation. Active, appropriate screening is needed to avoid long-term complications of untreated CD. Family screening initial and follow up Life long adherence to the diet is important Dietician involvement Support groups Regular follow up with health care team

Jody Weckwerth, PA-C William J. von Leibig Transplant Center Mayo Clinic Rochester, MN
59 Objectives
1. Identify at least 3 medical issues common to children who are awaiting liver transplantation. 2. List 2-3 side effects of each of the most commonly used post liver transplant immune suppression medications. 3. Recognize medication interactions relevant to children on long term immune suppression.

Indications
1. Biliary atresia (41%) 2. Acute liver failure-unknown etiology (11%) 3. Hepatoblastoma (5%) 4. Autoimmune hepatitis 5. Alpha-1 AT deficiency 6. Alagille syndrome Less common: Inborn errors (OTC, GSD, tyrosinemia, etc)
PreTransplant Symptoms
Ascites 50% Failure to thrive 47% Poor concentration, encephalopathy 22% Portal HTN, GI bleeding 20% Pruritus 20% Jaundice Splenomegaly Fatigue
61 PreTransplant Issues
Promote increased liver function Slow/stop progression of disease Improve quality of life Maintain nutrition and growth
PreTransplant Nutrition
High calorie Extra vitamins ADEK Extra MCT Predigested formula Measure girth/weight Use enteral feeds if necessary
Immunizations: Pre-Transplant
Give all usual childhood vaccines Pneumovax MMR Tetanus Varivax Hepatitis A Influenza Hepatitis B Should be given at least 2-4 weeks pre- transplant
62 Immune Suppression
Avoiding rejection vs.
Proper growth Avoiding infection
Immune Suppression Regimens steroid (solumedrol prednisone or prednisolone) tacrolimus (Prograf, FK506) cyclosporine (Neoral) mycophenolate mofetil (Cellcept) azathioprine (Imuran) sirolimus (Rapamune)
63 Side Effects—Calcineurin Inhibitors Mechanism: Inhibits T-lymphocyte activation
hypertension Tac only hyperkalemia hyperglycemia hypomagnesemia lymphoprolif dz nephrotoxicity CSA only tremors hirsutism swollen gums
Side Effects—Steroids
. Hypertension . Hyperglycemia . Poor growth . Bone loss, osteopenia . Fluid retention . Mood swings, agitation
Steroids and BMD
Nightingale et al 2011 52 children aged 4-18 At least 1 year post liver tx Steroid exposure did not influence BMD Greater BMD assoc w longer time interval since tx and higher BMI post tx
64 Side Effects—Cellcept Mechanism– inhibits proliferation of T and B lymphocytes
Abdominal pain Nausea/vomiting Diarrhea or constipation Anemia Leukopenia Thrombocytopenia
Side Effects—Sirolimus
Impaired wound healing Hyperlipidemia Rash Abdominal complaints Headache
Rejection Treatment
Pulse IV steroids Anti-thymocyte globulin OKT-3 (Inactivates T-cell receptor, prevents T-lymphocyte activation)
↑ Infection risk Anaphylaxis Infusion reactions Pulmonary edema Cerebral edema
65 Medication Interactions Tacrolimus or Cyclosporine Increases drug level Decreases drug level fluconazole phenobarb macrolide abx phenytoin nicardipine, nifedipine rifampin PPI’s metronidazole lovastatin, simvastatin
Typical Scenario
Fluconazole prescribed →→Tac level rises ↓ Fluconazole ends ←← Tac dose decreased ↓ Tac level drops →→ Rejection occurs!!
Head Trouble Off At the Pass
Have family call before starting any new med prescribed by someone outside of transplant Provide list of antibiotics that are “OK” without call Measure drug levels 3-4 days after meds are stopped Lifelong concern!
66 Post Tx Nutrition
Cook meats thoroughly Wash fruits/veg well Avoid unpasteurized or raw dairy or eggs Avoid raw fish/shellfish Caution at buffets or salad bars Avoid alcohol
Nutrition Concerns Post Tx
Will take time to recover from pre transplant failure to thrive Most resume normal diet Oral aversion may persist Tube for meds
Immunizations Post-Transplant
. Delay most for 4 months post tx . Do not administer during anti rejection treatment . Avoid live virus vaccines (controversial) Includes MMR, varicella, Flu-mist, Rotarix . Communicate with primary providers
67 Live Virus Vaccines
An “absolute” contraindication? Emphasize pre-tx vaccination for seronegative recipients Beware of “inadvertent” vaccination (pre- employment physicals, etc)
Varicella Vaccine
A live virus vaccine 2 small series of post tx vaccination Weinberg (2006) 16 pts, 9 mos-5 yrs post tx (liver or intest) 4 fever, 4 rash; immunity 86% . Khan (2006) 35 ped liver pts, avg 4 yrs post tx 65% immunity; no signif adverse events
MMR Vaccine
Live virus Khan (2006) 31 ped liver pts, 3 ½ yrs post tx 73% immunity; Many required 2-3 doses to achieve seroconversion No adverse events reported
68 CDC Vaccination Guidelines
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/spec- grps/conditions.htm
Immunizations- What’s New?
Influenza All transplant recipients are “high risk” Both patients and household contacts Rotavirus 2 oral infant vaccines available--RotaTeq and RotaRix (Both are LIVE vaccines) Meningococcus Use MCV4 (Menactra) age 11-12 or age 2-10 if high risk. Give if MPSV4>3 yrs ago
HPV Vaccine
Safe and effective No association w/ death, GBS, or clots For women ages 9-26 Requires 3 doses at 0, 2, and 6 months Recommended at age 11-12
69 Post Tx Longterm Follow Up
Labs every month Annual: ultrasound, growth, nutrition review, BP Periodic protocol liver biopsies (e.g. 1, 5, 10 years post tx) Transition to adult care age 18-22
Other Post Tx Health Concerns Infection risk
Sun protection: SPF 30 or higher; protective clothing
Exercise/Activity
Obesity risk
70 Post Tx Longterm
Travel: plan ahead for meds Pregnancy Smoking Alcohol

42 Can we improve the efficacy of IFX?
• Aim – To determine if IFX trough levels (TR) are important to achieve mucosal healing and if they are related to the degree of healing • Methods – CD patients with clinical, biochemical and endoscopic data available before and after the start of IFX
Van Moerkercke W, et al. Gastroenterology. 2010:138(supp 1):S-60.
88 43 High IFX Trough Levels are Associated with Mucosal Healing in Crohn’s Disease
IFX TR Median (µg/mL) IQR Complete healing 5.77 1.05 – 10.72 Partial healing 3.89 0.35 - 8.28 No healing 0.95 0.35 - 6.56*
* p = 0.013
• Conclusions – Patients with complete healing under IFX have significantly higher TR than patients without healing – Measurement of IFX trough levels is therefore useful in optimizing therapy since they may allow dose adjustment in patients with low drug level

DIANE KOCOVSKY, APRN CPNP AC/PC PEDIATRIC GASTROENTEROLOGY CLINIC BOYS TOWN NATIONAL RESEARCH HOSPITAL OMAHA, NEBRASKA
Initial Diagnosis and Assessment
What is Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract 2 main subtypes are identified Crohn’s Disease Ulcerative Colitis
Between 7-20 per 100,000 children in the United States have IBD
25% of IBD will be diagnosed at pediatric age
Kugathasan S; Judd RH, Hoffmann RG, et al. Epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of children with newly diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease in Wisconsin: A statewide population based study. J Pediatr. 2003;143:525-531.
97 Potential Presentation of IBD in the Primary Care Setting
Clinical Symptoms Abdominal pain diarrhea weight loss blood in the stool
Enteric infections can mimic IBD
Potential Presentation of IBD in the Primary Care Setting
Growth Failure in Crohn’s Disease Decreased height velocity has been reported in patients before the onset of gastrointestinal symptoms Up to 25% of patients may not achieve full adult height potential Interventions should be initiated before completion of puberty
Kanof et al, Gastroenterology 1988;95:1523 Hildebrabrand etl al, J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 1994; 18:165
Potential Presentation of IBD in the Primary Care Setting
Early diagnosis and treatment can lead to improved outcomes
Increased awareness will lead to more screening of co-morbid conditions
98 Initial Laboratory Studies
CBC Careful consideration of MCV ESR CRP Albumin Liver Function ALT, Alk phos, bilirubin Stool Studies Occult blood Infectious organisms
Consideration of Radiology Studies
CT vs. MRI Studies help to identify location and severity of disease Recent data suggests that ionizing radiation from CT may increase a person’s lifetime risk of cancer MRI may provided comparable information with less long term risk over all

Interval Assessment and Monitoring of the Child with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Interval Assessment of General Health
Special consideration to the following Anthropometric assessment Ht, Wt, BMI Bone health Tanner staging Mental health Cancer surveillance Vaccine status Physical findings of nutrient deficiencies Rash, clubbing, hepatomegaly, hair changes, edema, oral lesions
101 Nutrition History
Obtain pre-illness weight
Recent weight changes
Medications including vitamins, and complementary medications
Diet records
Monitoring Nutrition Status
Bone Health
10-40% of children with IBD have decreased bone mass
Appropriate bone mineralization depends on adequate intake of vitamins and micronutrients such as Vitamin D, calcium and zinc through either diet or supplements
Dubner, SE, Shults J, Baldassano RN, et al. Longitudinal assessment of bone density and structure in an incident cohort of children with Crohn's disease. Gatroenterology. 2009; 136:123-130.
102 Cancer Surveillance
The increased risk for colon cancer in patients with IBD necessitates the need for colonoscopy exams with biopsies every 1-2 years starting 7-10 years after diagnosis
Due to the increased risk of skin cancer, routine screening during physical exams should be completed
Malignant vs. Benign Lesions
Pediatric Melanoma
103 Vaccinations
All inactivated vaccination series should be completed
Special efforts should be made to complete live vaccine series prior to starting immunosuppressive therapy
Vaccinations
Early childhood vaccinations Diphtheria Pertussis Tetanus Hepatitis A and B Heamophilus influenza type B Adolescent vaccinations Influenza IM not nasal Annual vaccination and treatment with antiviral medications if acquires infection Pneumococcus meningococcal
Influenza. Red Book:2009 Report of the Committee on Infectious Disease, 28th edition. Pickering LK, ed. Elk Grove, IL. American Academy of Pedatrics;2009.
Varicella
Should be administered to all patients not receiving immunosuppressive therapy if you can not validate a history of natural infection
If parents are unsure titers should be checked
104 Immunosuppressive Therapy and Varicella Vaccination
Corticosteroid therapy Prednisone > 2mg/kg/day or 20mg/day for >14 days Ideally wait one month after discontinuation of steroids to vaccinate with a live vaccine such as Varivax

Hepatitis
Patients should be screened for latent Hep B or seronegativity when treated with anti –TNF Anti-TNF agents have been reported to result in Hepatitis B virus reactivation
Consider serology for Hepatitis A and C status
Seronegative children should be vaccinated for HBV and HAV

105 Special Considerations
Adherence
The extent to which an individual’s behavior coincides with medical advice
‘Adherence’ has replaced ‘compliance’ which conveyed a paternalistic concept of medical care
Adherence implies a collaboration between patient and physician to improve the patient’s health status
Determinants of Adherence
Illness related Disease activity, disease duration, dosing intervals
Patient related Psychological status, depression, assessment of health care provided
Family related Family functioning, effect on siblings, finances
Health Care Provider related Effective communication, assessment of adherence
Levy et al, Am J Gastroenterol 1999; 94:1733-1742
106 Strategies to Promote Adherence
Quality health care provider-patient/family relationship
Acceptable treatment plans
Reducing dosage intervals
Assess for adherence
Reward Adherence
Adherence
Should be addressed at every visit Adherence rates average 50% with lowest rates occurring during adolescence and during remission Individualize frequency of follow-up based on the following Disease activity Compliance history Age Stage of growth and development Choice of medical therapy
Dublisky M. Special issues in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease. World J Gastroenterol. 2008;14:413-420.
Depression and Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Children with IBD are at increased risk for depression, anxiety, social isolation and altered self image
25% of patients display depressive symptoms but 97% go unrecognized unless specifically questioned by their health care provider
Predictors of depression Stressful life events; maternal depression; family dysfunction; steroid treatment; older age.
These rates are similar to children with other chronic illnesses
Szigethy E, McLafferty L, Goyal A. Inflammatory bowel disease. Child Adoles Psychiatr Clin N Am. 2010;19:301-318.
107 Clinical Signs of Pediatric Depression
Flat affect
Emotional avoidance
Failure to regulate emotion after exposure to negative information
Persistent changes in the following Mood Appetite Levels of social, academic or athletic performance
Screening Tools for Pediatric Depression
MESSAGE Screening Tool
M Mood or motor (hyper or hypo)
E Energy (fatigue)
S Sleep (insomnia or hypersomnia)
S Suicide and Self-Esteem
A Anhedonia (lack of pleasure)
G Guilt
E Eating or change in appetite
Courtesy of Eva Szigethy, MD, PhD
Additional Screening Tools for Pediatric Depression
Children’s Depressive Inventory 5 minute measure of symptoms and impaired social functioning in children ages 6-17 years
CDI-Parent Report Similar measurement for parental functioning
Luebeck Interview for Psychosocial Screening A rating tool for psychosocial stress specific to IBD patients
Kuzendorf S, Jantschek G, Straubinger, K, et al. the Luebeck interview for psychosocial screening in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Inflamm Bowel Dis. 2007;13:33-41. Sitarenios G, Kovacs M. Use of the Children’s Depression Inventory. In: The Use of Psychological Testing for Treatement Planning and Outcomes Assessment. Ed. Maruish, ME. 2nd ed. Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Assoc., Inc. , 1999. pp267-298.
108 Social Functioning
Parents report clinically significant social problems (22%) at a greater rate than parents of healthy children (2%)
Child reported general social competence is simian to that of healthy children
Being diagnosed in adolescence increases risk of clinically significant problems
Mackner er al. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2006; 12:239-44.
Treating Depression in Pediatric IBD Patients
Pharmacologic Therapy Health care providers must be aware of potential drug interactions Use of antidepressants for treating depression in adults with IBD was reported to reduce anxiety and improve depressive symptoms Efficacy has not been proven in pediatrics Adherence may be reduced due to side effects

Non-pharmacologic Therapy Cognitive Behavior Therapy Hypnosis Support Groups Experiencing sharing websites www.experiencejournal.com www.ccfa.org www.ibdsf.com www.starlight.org www.cdhnf.org www.myibd.org
109 In Summary
It is essential that primary care providers recognize symptoms consistent with IBD during acute and health maintenance visits
Primary care providers play and important role in the care of a child with IBD They help to ensure immunization status They continually assess for comorbidities
In Summary
Treatment plans should always be individualized and include a discussion with the patients and parents that address the following: Benefits and risks of various pharmacologic options Include all aspects of health including mental health issues
In Summary
The Primary Care Provider is an asset in the care of a child with a chronic disease
The relationship between the Specialist and the Primary Care Provider is essential in providing their care and monitoring patient outcomes
Careful consideration to the unique health care needs is important when providing both health maintenance and acute care in the primary care setting

Anthony Otley, MD, Mac, FRCPC
111 NOTES
112 FOOD FOR THOUGHT Enteral Nutrition for Crohn’’s Disease: A Canadian Perspective
Cynthia King-Moore PDt Anthony Otley MD IWK Health Centre, Halifax, Nova Scotia
Objectives
1. Identify the principal messages from the NASPGHAN Clinical Report on Enteral Nutrition (EN) and IBD
2. To recognize the variation in practice of EN for Crohn’s Disease in North America and worldwide Using an example of a Canadian tertiary centre: 3. To identify the key resources required to effectively offer EN for CD
4. Identify the challenges related to EN and how they can be overcome
Definitions
PEN = partial enteral nutrition EEN = exclusive enteral nutrition
113 Enteral Nutrition: How does it work?
The short answer in 2011 is…….
We still don’t know!!!
Enteral Nutrition: How does it work?
Hypotheses: – elimination of dietary antigen uptake – decreased production of inflammatory mediators due to reduced dietary fat – overall nutritional repletion – provides important micronutrients to diseased intestine – alters type/numbers of gut bacteria
Treatment Goals for Pediatric IBD
Induce symptomatic remission Achieve mucosal healing Avoid relapse (maintain remission) Minimize complications (disease induced and iatrogenic) Improve quality of life Promote normal growth and development
114 Induce symptomatic remission Enteral Nutrition

Avoid relapse (maintain remission)
Symptoms come back once enteral nutrition is stopped. 60-70% of patients experience a relapse within 12 months of stopping enteral nutrition and resuming a normal diet Rigaud D, et al. Controlled trial comparing two types of enteral nutrition in treatment of active Crohn’s disease. Gut 1991;32:1492.
116 Avoid relapse (maintain remission)
Studies have shown that both – cyclical therapy (exclusive liquid diet therapy for 4 wk out of every 16) OR – overnight supplemental liquid diet therapy with an unrestricted daytime diet are associated with prolonged disease quiescence Seidman E, et al.

THE TYPICAL ENTERAL FEEDING PICTURE… the Halifax perspective
3 months of exclusive feeds Transition to overnight feeds & healthy DAT After 6 ‘successful’ months, consider 1 night off per week Gradually work towards being on off feeds 2‐3 nights per week Duration of tube feeding depends on successful response and families’ lifestyle EEN may be used for inducing remission and as maintenance therapy
122 GETTING STARTED…
Decide energy and fluid requirements – Initiate on the conservative side – Ensure at least maintenance fluid from feeds Consider refeeding syndrome Allow 24‐36 hours for progression to ‘full’ feeds, more if refeeding risk Give clear direction re plan Clear fluids Monitor for hunger or over fullness
MAINTENANCE FEEDS: WHAT WE DO…
10‐12 hours overnight Polymeric formula Healthy DAT – No therapeutic diet – Emphasize nutritious choices • include fiber • moderate fat intake – Assess Calcium/Vitamin D – Ensure adequate fluid – Monitor weight gain

123 FOR BEST RESULTS…
Experienced health care team Support family through a difficult time Establish appropriate community supports Provide phone follow‐up
IDENTIFYING THE CHALLENGES: RESOURCES
Team approach – Dietitian – Experienced RN for tube placement and teaching Equipment – Pump (table top versus ambulatory) – Tubes and feeding supplies – Formula Tube Feeding Learning package Follow‐up Care
IDENTIFYING THE CHALLENGES: COMMUNICATION
Where are the families receiving their education? – Internet – Family, friends & acquaintances – Other health professionals – Alternative medicine
Effective communication – ‘Entire’ team – Misinformation and mixed messages – Information overload (retention an issue)
124 IDENTIFYING THE CHALLENGES: FINANCIAL What does it cost? Who pays for what?
Where are the savings? – Over 90% of new patients taught as outpatient – Use of polymeric formulas – Consider usual cost of eating – Phone follow‐up prevents admissions to hospital
OTHER CHALLENGES: TRANSITIONING
Provide support for continuance of feeds in the ‘adult’ world – Funding – Dietitian follow‐up – Trouble shooting – Reassessment

5 Transition is important for all adolescents, healthy or otherwise More than 1/3 of youth in U.S. have some type of chronic illness or special health care needs (SHCN) –nearly 500,000 enter adulthood yearly (AAP, 2002) Ineffective transition of care may result in increased complications of disease Goal is to provide comprehensive, developmentally appropriate, well coordinated and uninterrupted care Supported by AAP, AAFP, American College of Physicians, NASPGHAN
Barriers to Transition
6
Switch from parental decision‐making to independent decision‐making Long‐term relationships established with pediatric provider Adult providers not trained to handle adolescent issues
130 Study of Young Adults
7
In young adults who transitioned from pediatric to adult provider: 22% felt unprepared to transition to adult gastroenterologist 32% of parents felt their children were unprepared to transition
Dabadie et al, Gastroenterol Clin Biol, 2008.
Adult Provider Perspective

Transition Readiness Resources
11 Commonly Used Resources Checklists, asking adolescent to respond “yes” or “no” to describe level of readiness towards independent care Age‐based templates1 Disease‐specific surveys Other programs working on adolescents’ transition‐related skills, but do not assess transition readiness Lack of validated, patient‐centered instruments that assess adolescent ability to make appointments, understand their medications and other necessary skills
1Hait, Arnold & Fishman, IBD, 2006
Transition Readiness Surveys
12 Sawicki et. al. developed and tested disease‐neutral skill‐focused tool to assess transition readiness (TRAQ) Relies on adolescent self‐report of skills and knowledge Divides questions into two sections (29 questions):

Intestinal Rehabilitation: The Long and Short of It
Danielle Sebbens DNP, CPNP-PA/AC
141 NOTES
142 Intestinal Failure
Danielle Sebbens DNP, CPNP-AC/PC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC
Objectives:
• Define intestinal failure • Describe multi-disciplinary team • Discuss intestinal failure population • Define intestinal adaptation • Briefly review parenteral nutrition & management of intestinal failure. • Review central venous catheters, antibiotic lock & ethanol lock therapy.
Definition
• Intestinal Failure is defined as “a critical reduction of functional gut mass below the minimal amount necessary for adequate digestion and absorption to satisfy body nutrient and fluid requirements in adults or growth in children”.
Thompson JS. Overview of etiology and management of intestinal failure. Gastroenterology (2006) 130 (2 Suppl 1): S3-S4
143 Short Bowel Syndrome vs. Intestinal Failure • Short Bowel Syndrome – Defined by anatomy • Adult=< 100 cm jejunum (nl 300-800) • Child=< 75 cm small bowel (nl 210-290) • Intestinal Failure – Defined by function • Any condition in which the intestine cannot maintain fluid, electrolyte, nutritional balance without parenteral support • Chronic condition (TPN >90 days) • Short bowel syndrome is a sub-population of intestinal failure
Intestinal Care Team
• Multidisciplinary team: – Pediatric Gastroenterologists – Pediatric Nurse Practitioner – Pediatric Surgeons/Transplant Surgeons – Clinical Nurse Specialist/Nurses – Dietitians – Psychologists – Social Workers – OT/PT/Speech – Discharge Coordinator
Mission
• To provide medical and nutritional support, both enteral and parenteral, to children with intestinal failure through the process of intestinal adaptation or transplantation.
144 Purpose
• Comprehensive, collaborative inpatient and outpatient care for children with intestinal failure.
Multidisciplinary advantage
• When comparing outcomes in clinical status between children seen in centers with and without a multidisciplinary team, the team approach has shown a significant improvement in patient outcomes.
Traeger,SM etal. JPEN, 1986 , Modi, BP et al. Journal of PedSurg, 2008. (refs)
Prenatal Causes of Intestinal Failure • Alone or in any combination –Atresia – Mid-gut volvulus (malrotation) – Gastroschisis/Omphalocele • Extensive Hirschsprung’s disease • Congenital Enteropathies – Tufting Enteropathy – Microvillus inclusion disease
145 Neonatal Causes of Intestinal Failure • Necrotizing enterocolitis with bowel resection (NEC) • Midgut volvulus • Arterial or venous thrombosis
Postnatal Causes of Intestinal Failure • Complicated intussusception • Trauma • Extensive angioma/abdominal tumor • Autoimmune enteropathy • Intestinal pseudobstruction
UCLA Experience
Methods: • Children needing PN for >3mo at UCLA between 1975 to 2000 (N=875) • SBS defined as residual jejunal segment < 75 cm (N = 78) • Short small bowel = 39-75 cm • Very short small bowel = 15-38 cm • Ultra short small bowel = < 15 cm • Home PN cycled over 10-14 hrs • Non-protein calories customized to individual requirements • Enteral nutrition • use of a dilute elemental formula or breast milk continuously infused • Amount increased in volume and concentration as tolerated • PN decreased with increased enteral feeds • PN stopped when sufficient enteral feeds tolerated • 10% wt loss tolerated after discontinuation of PN
Quiros-Tijeira RE, et al J Pediatr 2005;145:157-163
146 Conclusions
• Important factors related to survival – Small bowel length – Intact ICV – Intestinal continuity – Preservation of the colon • Adaptation usually occurred within 3 years but may take as long as 13.5 years • Pts. with >15cm of small bowel without ICV have a chance of intestinal adaptation.
Paris Experience Subjects • 87 children (45 male) born between 1975-1991 • Single center, retrospective study • All patients with complicated surgical resection • Residual small bowel measured along anti-mesenteric border • A = never weaned PN; B = weaned, restarted; C = weaned Nutritional Treatment • PN providing 300-400 mg/kg nitrogen, 100-120 kcal/kg non- protein energy; lipid provided 10-30% of calories; cycled after 1-3 months • EN started within 3 weeks as continuous Pregestimil or Peptijunior; tolerance measured by stool volume, number, pH, reducing substances
Goulet, O. et al. Eur J Pediatr Surgery 2005;15:95-101
Conclusions • Long-term growth is satisfactory in permanently weaned patients • Changes in management between 1975 and 1991 make outcome assessment difficult • PN dependency rests upon the length of the remaining small bowel and presence of ICV • Puberty takes place at the normal age, compared to other chronic bowel diseases. • A child with a very short bowel (<40cm), without ICV, even weaned from initial TPN, continue to be at risk for growth retardation Goulet O, et al Eur J Pediatr Surgery 2005;15:95-101
147 Intestinal Adaptation
•Structural – Increase bowel length and diameter – Mucosal hyperplasia (increase number and length of villi) – Increase the rate of enterocyte proliferation • Functional – Reduce intestinal transit to increase absorptive – Increase carrier proteins and enzymes – Modify brush border membrane permeability • Influential factors – Remaining bowel length and function (ileum, colon present) – Hyperphagia – Luminal factors (nutrients, pancreatic-biliary secretions) – Hormones (trophic, anti-motility) – Growth factors
Clinical Stages of Intestinal Adaptation • Phase 1 (first weeks) – Massive fluid and electrolyte loss • Phase 2 (first weeks-2 years) – Maintain fluid and electrolyte balance – Provide nutritional support (enteral/parenteral) • Phase 3 (2+ years) – Equilibrium
Intestinal Adaptation
• The process by which the remnant intestine grows, dilates, and improves its absorptive capacity and function • Leads to successful withdrawal from parenteral nutrition • Does not require the intestine to be in continuity
148 Intestinal Adaptation
• Requires oral and/or enteral feeds – Minimal quantities are even beneficial • Stoma or stool output can not be excessive • Clinically evident by steady weight gain, increased height, and stable stool output • Electrolytes, including glucose, are normal
TPN
• Major source of carbohydrates, fat, and protein • Includes micronutrients – vitamins, zinc, selenium, manganese, copper, and chromium • We need to carefully balance providing adequate nutrition with limiting TPN side- effects
Complications
• Malnutrition – Micro- and macro-nutrient deficiencies – Fluid and electrolyte loss – Oral/enteral medication malabsorption – Essential fatty acid deficiency – Growth impairment • Liver disease – Cholestasis – Portal hypertension • Bacterial overgrowth • Sepsis • Central venous catheter complications
149 Management of Intestinal Failure •Dietary – Enteral and parenteral feeding • Pharmaceutical – Enhance adaptation – Manage stool losses • Fluid and electrolyte management – IV fluids – Oral rehydration fluids • Surgical – Preservation – Lengthening
Fluid Balance
• The intestine has an integral role in fluid balance. • Intestinal failure limits the normal homeostatic mechanisms that are typically in place to maintain fluid balance. • “Micro-management” of nutrition and careful observation of clinical signs of fluid and electrolyte balance.
Monitoring
• Liver function – AST, ALT, GGT, Bili T/D, PT/INR • Renal function – BUN, Cr • General support – Electrolytes, Ca, Phos, Mg, – Total protein, albumin – CBC with differential and platelets •With Fever – Blood cultures (central and peripheral) – Begin antibiotics
150 Nutritional Therapy
• Replace ostomy losses – with fluids containing 80-100 meq Na/L • Initiate enteral feeds (<310 mOsm/kg) – Continuous vs bolus – Oral vs gastric/jejunal – Polymeric vs Semi-elemental vs Elemental • Adjust enteral feeds when stools – Increase in volume by 50% – Losses are greater than 40-50 cc/kg/d • Introduce high fat foods early – High in fat, low in simple CHO – Complex CHO may be beneficial when the colon is intact – High CHO diets may predispose to bacterial overgrowth • Fiber – provides energy in the form of short chain FA’s
The Lipid Story
• Intralipid is derived from soy beans and contains phytosterols • High plasma phytosterols are found in children on PN with liver dysfunction – Bindl L, et al JPGN 2000;31:313 Clayton PT et al Nutrition 1998;14:158 • Soy lipid-derived phytosterol inhibits the bile acid nuclear receptor FXR when given IV and not when given enterally – Carter BA et al Pedi Research 2007;62:301 • Either a reduced Intralipid infusion or fish oil based lipid can result in normalization of bilirubin – Puder, 2009, Cober, 2010 • Increase in liver fibrosis may occur despite normalization of bilirubin by fish oil based lipid –(J Pediatr 2010;156:327-31)
Medications
• Anti-diarrheal – Loperamide – Codeine – Tincture of opium • Acid suppression – H-2 blockers – PPI’s • Pancreatic enzymes • Bile acid binding resin – Cholestyramine – Colestipol • Antimicrobials – Metronidazole – Rifaximin
151 Surgical Management
• Dilation can be detrimental, promoting fecal stasis and bacterial overgrowth • Bowel lengthening procedures provide viable means of increasing transit time; Bianchi or STEP • STEP – serial transverse enteroplasty • Bianchi can effectively double intestinal length
Central venous catheters
• Required for parenteral nutrition and associated with complications: – central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI) – occlusion – breakage – thrombosis • CLABSI is the leading cause of DEATH in this population and is a major cause of morbidity and increased health care costs.
CLABSI
• Failed medical management = removal • Options for vascular access become significantly reduced • Life-threatening scenario for children that require PN for nutrition • The absence of central venous access is a contraindication to intestinal transplantation.
152 Minimizing septic episodes
• Step 1: Prevention of CLABSI – Diligence by parents and staff with care – Ethanol locks • Step 2: Early recognition of symptoms and initiation of treatment. • Step 3: Early initiation of antibiotic lock therapy. • Step 4: Surgical removal of CVC with subsequent replacement.
Antibiotic Lock Therapy (ALT)
• Antibiotic lock therapy involves instilling a high concentration of antibiotic into the lumen of the CVC and allowing it to dwell for an average of eight hours per day (Mermel et al, 2001).
Theory of ALT
• Relapse of infection noted to be much higher in CVC infections when catheter is not removed (20% vs 3%)
IDSA guideline, 2009 • Problem: metabolically inactive sessile bacteria in biofilms which require 100-1000x MIC for effective killing • Studies since 1980s with filling of catheter lumen with supratherapeutic antibiotic concentrations with long dwell (ALT)
153 Antibiotic lock therapy
• Early addition of antibiotic locks may significantly impact effectiveness. • Common antibiotics used for lock therapy: – Vancomycin locks – Gentamycin locks – Ambisome locks (manuscript pending) – Linezolid locks
Ethanol locks
• Ethanol lock therapy has been used to treat line infections and salvage lines – Have proven successful thus far without the development of bacterial resistance – Previously no randomized studies using ethanol locks to prevent CLABSI
Ethanol lock: CHP study • Hypothesis: the use of ethanol as a prophylactic lock therapy can reduce the number of CLABSI in patients with central venous access. • Compares the number of CLABSI in patients who receive ethanol lock therapy with the number of infections while on placebo lock therapy with heparin
154 Results • Using a matched pairs t-test, the episodes of infections in the two study periods, Part A (heparin) and Part B (ETOH) were compared. • statistically higher number of episodes in part A than B ( p-value .0039) • ETOH locks effectively prevent CLABSI • Currently prescription of open label ETOH locks
(Martin, J. manuscript pending)
Bacterial Overgrowth
• Predisposing factors – Achlorhydria – Pancreatic insufficiency – Intestinal dilation / loss of ICV (?) – Altered intestinal immune system / malnutrition • Manifestations – Vomiting, distension, weight loss, anorexia – Mucosal injury, malabsorption, bacterial translocation – Worsening TPN cholestasis – Anemia, B12 deficiency, d-lactic acidosis
Bacterial Overgrowth
• Diagnosis – Intestinal culture – Hydrogen breath test • Treatment (little data) – Antibiotics (metronidazole, trimethoprim- sulfamethoxazole, neomycin, gentamicin) – Probiotics (ESPGHAN, JPGN 2004) – Surgical tapering procedure/revise tight anastomosis – Stop acid suppression medications – Anti-inflammatory (Sulfasalazine, prednisone) – Oral bile acids (Lorenzo-Zuniag V, Hepatology 2003)
Vanderhoof, JPGN 1998
155 Intestinal Failure Balance • Medical management vs Transplant
Indications for intestinal transplant
• Impending liver failure due to TPN-related liver disease – Uncorrectable coagulopathy – Variceal or stomal bleeding – Ascites • Thrombosis of at least 2 major vessels • Frequent line infections and/or sepsis • Frequent episodes of dehydration
Conclusions
• Management of Intestinal Failure is an art & science – more science needed (PIFCON) • Important factors related to survival – Small bowel length – Intact ICV and/or preservation of the colon – Intestinal continuity – Gestational age – Limit septic episodes • The adaptive process takes a long time; prepare the team and the family for a marathon • Always consider the whole child and their quality of life.

Active, playful infant in NAD
Resp: unlabored, CV: NSR, Abd: Soft non tender, non distended, no organomegaly
Plan
Schedule UGI series (normal)
Dietician consult to evaluate caloric intake and needs. Alimentum increased to 24kcal/oz
Changed Prevacid to Nexium
RTC in 4 weeks
164 Interval Events
2 days later mom calls to inform of increased stool output and decreased PO intake. Formula changed to Prosobee 24 kcal/oz to help with diarrhea. 1 week later no change in diarrhea, KUB obtained that showed constipation. MOM prescribed.
Interval events
2 weeks later, taking Prosobee 24 kcal/oz, about 30 oz/day and baby foods. Gaining weight slowly. Requiring MOM 15 mls to have daily BMs. Passed repeat VSS- no thickeners required. 1 month later, treated for fever and ear infection by PCP, vomiting recurred with weight loss and constipation persists. Formula changed to Bright beginnings Soy and started on Miralax.
Differential Dx
Vomiting and constipation persisted despite normal UGI, PPI. Miralax and change in formula. Differential: – Celiac – Hirschsprung’s – EoE – Tumor – Delayed gastric emptying- dysmotility
165 Further work up
Barium enema and MRI of the head scheduled on the same day. BE was normal but the MRI showed “symmetric areas of restricted diffusion within the globus pallidus and within the dorsal columns of the brainstem, corresponding to either the medial and/or lateral lemniscus. The findings are consistent with a metabolic disorder such as methylmalonic or proprionic acidemia or a mitochondrial disease like MNGIE”.
Work up
Urine organic acids, sweat test and serum amino acids were normal showing no abnormalities and liver functions remained normal as well. CK slightly elevated Referred to Dr Pascual (neurologist specializing in mitochondrial diseases) for further evaluation due to the possibility of mitochondrial nature of the metabolic disorder.
Diagnosis
Diagnosed with Leigh’s Syndrome on April 8, 2011 by Dr Pascual. Meanwhile, seen by Dr Naqvi (pulmonologist) for sleep disturbances (inability to sustain sleep and restlessness during sleep) on March 28, 2011.
166 EB
Leigh’s Syndrome
In 1951, Denis Leigh first described this progressive neuro degenerative disease as sub-acute necrotizing encephalopathy. Transmission: Autosomal-recessive, X-linked and mitochondrial (position 8993 in ATPase gene) Incidence: Estimated it occurs 1:40,000 live births Onset: mostly in infancy and early childhood. Typically first 2 years of life.
Manifestation
Failure to thrive, developmental delays, and loss of milestones, motor and intellectual delays, feeding and swallowing problems, brain stem dysfunction causing acute respiratory failure(64-72%). Eye involvement includes nystagmus, cranial nerve palsies and optic atrophy. Lactic acidosis in blood or CSF
167 Pathogenesis
Disorder in the mitochondrial energy production causing defects in: – Mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes, specially cytochrome oxidase (COX) complex I/II deficiency. – Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency
Diagnostic Testing
Hyperlactatemia is not present initially but develops over time. Lactate/ pyruvate ratio may be increased. Muscle biopsy or skin fibroblasts for biochemical analysis. MRI shows symmetric signal change consistent with loss of myelin and distinctive necrotic lesions in the basal ganglia, thalamus, brainstem and cerebellum along with diffuse brain atrophy.
Therapy
The goal is to maximize the oxidative or bio- energetic ability of the patient’s mitochondria and prevent metabolic crisis. High doses of Thiamine, Co-enzyme Q and L- carnitine has shown some benefits. Ketogenic diets have been helpful in pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency
168 Prognosis
The outcome is generally poor. The disease is fatal and patients die before 5 years of age.
Conclusion: Leigh’s syndrome is a mitochondrial disorder with the largest genetic heterogenicity. Mutations affect either the mitochondrial or nuclear genome. Symmetrical lesions on MRI are diagnostic. Prognosis is poor and treatment is mostly palliative. However, early detection can impact management and genetic counseling.

Diagnosis Diagnosis of Shwachman Diamond Syndrome made clinically, ultimately confirmed by genetic testing
175 Discussion Briefly review the clinical presentation and genetics of Shwachman Diamond Syndrome Discuss the features of the hepatopathy seen with Shwachman Diamond Syndrome Discuss the possible association between hypoglycemia and Shwachman Diamond Syndrome
Shwachman Diamond Syndrome: General Features
Characterized mainly by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, short stature, and bone marrow dysfunction Typically presents in infancy or early childhood Patients come to medical attention with symptoms such as malabsorption, malnutrition, growth failure, recurrent infections Extremely heterogeneous!
Genetics Autosomal recessive 90% of patients meeting clinical diagnostic criteria have mutations in the SBDS gene which maps to the 7q11 centromeric region of chromosome 7 SBDS gene encodes a 250 amino acid protein whose function is unknown
176 Exocrine Pancreas Exocrine pancreatic dysfunction appears to be universal Failure of pancreatic acini to develop Normal ductal function and islets Clinically presents as malabsorption, steatorrhea, FTT, low levels of fat‐soluble vitamins Moderate age‐related improvement in pancreatic acinar capacity over time
Bone Marrow Varying degrees of bone marrow failure Persistent or intermittent neutropenia is virtually universal Neutrophil dysfunction leads to increased risk of serious bacterial infections Patients with SDS carry a high risk of developing leukemia AML is the most common and SDS‐related AML carries a poor prognosis
Nutrition and Growth Short stature is considered a primary manifestation of SDS Contributing factors: malabsorption from pancreatic insufficiency, poor intake from recurrent infections Short stature tends to persist despite adequate treatment with enzyme replacement therapy
177 Skeletal Features Primary skeletal defects related to abnormal development of growth plates Metaphyseal dysostosis has been reported in 50% of patients Osteopenia and osteoporosis independent of vitamin D deficiency
Liver Hepatomegaly is common especially in infancy‐‐ typically resolves by 5 years of age Serum aminotransferases can also be elevated in infancy Values 1‐4 times the upper limits of the reference range Tendency to resolve or improve with advancing age Progressive liver disease has not been reported in patients with SDS
Liver Toiviainen‐Salo et al. J. of Peds. 2009. Retrospective longitudinal and prospective cross‐ sectional study on SDS‐associated liver disease in 12 patients with genetically verified SDS 7/9 patients diagnosed in early childhood had elevated aminotransferases +/‐ hepatomegaly Multiple measurements of ggt and bilirubin normal No hepatopathy in 3 patients diagnosed after 5 years of age No children >5, adolescents, or adults had evidence of liver disease
178 Clinical Monitoring and Therapy Assessment of weight, height, bone age, pubertal development, developmental progress every 6‐12 months CBC at least every 6 months‐‐more frequently if indicated Fat‐soluble vitamin levels every 6‐12 months Radiographs of the hips and lower limbs every 1‐2 years Periodic reassessment for malabsorption and need for enzyme supplementation Assess need for G‐CSF Bone marrow aspirate/biopsy annually
Hypoglycemia and SDS Individual, isolated cases of Endocrine abnormalities such as growth hormone deficiency, hypoglycemia, and diabetes mellitus No clear evidence to date that these clinical conditions are directly associated with SDS
Hypoglycemia and SDS Albrecht et al. Clinical Pediatrics. 2009. 12 month old former 32‐week infant who presented at 2 years of age with lethargy and hypoglycemia (fingerstick 20 mg/dL) Short stature and dysmorphic features including a narrow thorax Extensive work‐up negative with the exception of leukopenia Skeletal survey with findings characteristic of SDS Genetic analysis revealed two heterozygous mutations (one mutation shared with our patient)
179 Hypoglycemia and SDS Kuijpers et al. Pediatrics. 2004. Term baby with fetal distress in labor Respiratory difficulties immediately following delivery Anemia and hypoglycemia noted Persistent hypoglycemia in the NICU of unknown etiology Extensive work‐up negative Eventually discharged at 4 months of age Growth failure and diarrhea noted as an outpatient Metaphyseal dysplasia noted radiologically Genetic analysis revealed two heterozygous mutations (both mutations shared with our patient)

193 NOTES
194 The Aerodigestive Patient: Diagnosis and Treatment
Rachel Rosen M.D., M.P.H. Center for Motility and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders and Center for Aerodigestive Disorders Children’s Hospital Boston, MA
Chief Complaint: Pre-CADD view of the world • Food coming out of the nose: GER • Nasal congestion: GER • Gagging with feeds: GER • Nocturnal vomiting: GER • Pneumonias: GER • Cough: GER
Post-CADD view of the World • Food coming out of the nose: – palatal abnormality, UES dysfunction • Nasal congestion: – palatal abnormality, UES dysfunction • Gagging with feeds: – enlarged tonsils/adenoids, palate, sensory integration • Nocturnal vomiting: – sinusitis • Pneumonias: – too much PPI, TEF, aspiration, immune deficiency, ciliary dyskinesia, achalasia • Cough: – EE, aspiration , achalasia • Halitosis: enlarged tonsils
195 History • Headaches, hearing • Snoring, mouth breathing, dentition • Symptoms relative to meals (food going in versus after meal is done) • Time of night symptoms occur • Seasonality of symptoms • Number of courses of antibiotics and steroids • Developmental concerns including sensory issues
PE
• Skin: hemagiomas, café-au-lait spots, surgical scars, eczema • HEENT: facial asymmetry, tonsil size, uvula deviation or bifid, palatal elevation, mouth breathing • Heart: Murmur • Spine: Dimples, asymmetry, scoliosis • General: “Clothing sign”
Pathophysiology
Primary mechanism is increased numbers of transient relaxations of the lower esophageal sphincter

198 Upper GI Radiography
Advantage • Useful for detecting anatomic abnormalities: strictures, achalasia, malrotation
Limitation • Cannot discriminate between physiologic and GER episodes
Scintigraphy
Advantages
• Detects all types of reflux • Evaluates gastric emptying • May demonstrate aspiration • Can be useful to assess esophageal motility Limitations
• Lack of standardized techniques • Absence of age-specific normative data • Period of observation limited to early postprandial period
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
Advantages • Enables visualization and biopsy of esophageal epithelium • Determines presence of esophagitis, other complications • Discriminates between reflux and eosinophilic or allergic esophagitis Limitations • Need for sedation or anesthesia • Poor correlation between endoscopic appearance and histopathology • Generally not useful for extra- esophageal GERD • Often normal in the age of acid suppression
199 Esophageal pH Monitoring Advantages • Detects episodes of acid reflux • Determines temporal association between acid GER and symptoms • Assesses adequacy of H2RA or PPI dosage in unresponsive patients
Disadvantages • Reduced patient physical and dietary activity • Variability in acid exposure • Does not differentiate direction of flow • Not able to measure height • Blind to non-acid reflux
Restech
Correlation of Changes in Oropharyngeal pH with MII Events Chiou et al NASPGHAN 2009
Pharyngeal acidity may be important but may not be associated with esophageal reflux

Summary
• PPI still has a role in the treatment of esophagitis but its role for fussiness and for extraesophageal symptoms is limited. • New algorithms favor non-pharmacologic interventions. • New therapies needed for the treatment of non-acid reflux. • New diagnostic tools are needed for the evaluation of extraesophageal reflux.

239 NOTES
240 Constipation What to do When Standard Therapy Fails
Kim Jarczyk, CRNP
Brief Case Presentation
7 month old seen for GER and constipation follow up – oh, by the way, he has had some blood in the stool PMH PSH Exam
Lesson Learned – Always Look!
241 NASPGAN Algorithm for Treatment of Constipation
Dysfunction Elimination Syndrome
Bowel dysfunction Bladder dysfunction Pelvic floor dysfunction CNS effects Psychological Comorbidities Social Comorbidities
For The Child Who Is Failing To Progress On Standard Therapy – Look for Organic/Structural Etiologies
Celiac Rectal Malformations Hypothyroidism Hirschsprung’s Disease Hypercalcemia Neurogenic causes Hypomagnesemia Neuromuscular Disease Lead poisoning Metabolic Disease
242 For The Child Who Is Failing To Progress On Standard Therapy – Look for Associated Factors
Treatment Side Effects Psychological Co- morbidities Developmental Issues Social Factors Activity Level Hydration Status Diet
Effects of Ditropan on Bowel Transit
The First Step is to Assess for Successful Disimpaction
Abdominal exam Rectal exam Abdominal x-ray Transabdominal Ultrasound of Rectum
Bladder Ultrasound Demonstrating the Impact of Rectum Full of Stool on the Bladder
243 Several Well Tolerated Options for Disimpaction Therapy
High dose mineral oil from above and below followed by phosphosoda enemas High dose Polyethylene glycol Magnesium Citrate Disimpaction in the O.R. with NGT placement prior to transfer to the floor for NGT Go-lytely Do not disimpact from above if the diameter of the impaction exceeds the diameter of the pelvic rim.
Would not disimpact from above
For The Child Who Is Failing To Progress On Standard Therapy after Successful Disimpaction
Pursue Additional Evaluation to Guide Therapy
Sitz Marker Study Manometry MRI of the LS Spine without contrast Unprepped Gastrografin Enema
Functional Constipation - Anismus
Frequent history of : Pain with defecation Straining Fissure formation with rectal bleeding following the passage of hard stool Withholding Incomplete emptying Confirm diagnosis with rectal manometry & transit study
244 Sitz Marker Study – Anismus
Day Three Day Five
Additional Therapies to Consider in Treatment of Outlet Dysfunction Constipation
Suppository therapy Retrograde Enemas Pelvic Floor Biofeedback Antegrade enemas
Pelvic Floor Biofeedback as Adjunctive Therapy for the Child with Severe Constipation or Intractable Fecal Incontinence
Assists in helping the individual to isolate, strengthen and coordinate the muscles used for urination and defecation
Animated program has been shown to be as effective in helping children with dysfunctional elimination normalize their voiding pattern when compared to use of non-animated programs
Improvement with animated programs occurs in less time

Desantis, D.J., Leonard, M.P., Preston, M.A. Barrowman, N.J., Guerra, L.A. Journal of Pediatric Urology (2011), 7, 342-348.
Laborie Urostym Animated Pelvic Floor Biofeedback Program
Functional Constipation Slow Transit Frequent history of: Passage of infrequent bowel motions despite adequate treatment Absence of a history suggestive of withholding Confirm diagnosis with Sitz Marker Study
246 Additional Therapies to Consider in Treatment of Slow Transit Constipation
Stimulant laxatives Prokinetic agents Antegrade enemas
Antegrade Continence Enema Procedure
Is highly but not universally successful in helping children with Spina Bifida attain continence despite widely disparate anorectal sphincter function Historical data approximates a success rate of 95% to 97% in helping children attain continence on a program of antegrade enema administration Has been used with success in children with intractable constipation/encopresis that has not responded to therapy Requires anesthesia for initial placement A number of surgical techniques are available including using the appendix to create a stoma, creating a stoma with bowel, or percutaneous insertion of a button Can be placed in the ascending or decending colon
Left Antegrade Continence Enema (LACE) vs Right Antegrade Continence Enema (RACE)
Lower volume of flush (414mL vs. 618mL) Quicker evacuation time (31 vs. 53 min) Need to administer flush more frequently with the LACE Continence comparable between the procedures

247 Effectiveness of Antegrade Flushing Regimen In A Child With Slow Transit Constipation
Toilet Train Early
Early initiation of toilet training is associated with early daytime and night-time continence without compromising elimination dynamics
I-Ni Chiang, Shang-Jen Chang, Stephen Shei-Dei Yang. Presented at the 1st World Congress of Pediatric Urology, San Francisco, May 2010.
What lies ahead?
Sacral Neuromodulation for dysfunctional elimination Transcutaneous Interferential Electrical Stimulation for slow transit constipation
248 Tara Mathews, Ph.D Pediatric Psychologist Johns Hopkins Hospital
Research suggests behavioral considerations are often involved in the maintenance and/or exacerbation of constipation
Stool-withholding is preceded by painful defecation and hard bowel movement
Lack of time for regular toileting, defecation anxiety, and distaste for “foreign” toilets
Constipation in children is associated with increased rates of internalizing and externalizing problems and lower quality of life than comparison groups
249 Parents play key role in alleviating or maintaining difficult behavior, defecation anxiety, and “stubbornness”
Stool toileting refusal has been associated with parents’ difficulties with limit-setting
Assumption that fecal incontinence is caused by child’s laziness, carelessness, and stubbornness
Negative perceptions affect parent-child interaction
Education, including that aimed at altering parents’ perceptions of the origin of fecal incontinence
Disimpaction
Maintenance therapy
PLUS
• Scheduled toileting / bowel diary • Positive reinforcement of target behaviors
Provide brief education to parents regarding defecation anxiety
Identify 2 convenient/appropriate times per day when parent can prompt child to sit on toilet for 10 minutes
Recommend parents reward child for cooperation with scheduled toileting
250 Keep schedules simple and realistic
Target behavior (e.g., sitting on toilet, bowel movement, Miralax cooperation) should be objective and attainable
Consider gradual “shaping” of behavior
Rewards should be immediate, tangible, strong, and salient to child’s interests
Restrict access to reward outside of plan!
4 year old female with several year history of constipation with fecal incontinence
Wearing pull-ups
For years, pediatrician assures parents that increased fiber and occasional laxative will eventually result in Lori “growing out of it”
Severe defecation anxiety resulting in “tantrums” when prompted to sit on toilet
Medical treatment • Parent education, inpatient bowel clean-out, maintenance therapy
Behavioral treatment • Scheduled toileting = before preschool, after school, after dinner • Lori is rewarded through “grab bag” every time she cooperates with scheduled toileting • Over time, demand is increased such that she is rewarded for successive bowel movement in toilet
251 13 year old male with several year history of constipation with fecal smearing
Multiple inpatient admissions for bowel clean- out
Admits to stool withholding behavior
Several visits to Pediatric GI providers with little improvement in presentation; current impaction
Comorbid attention, learning, and social problems
Conventional medical treatment
Behavioral treatment • Development of visual schedule identifying times for taking Miralax, sitting on toilet 2 -3 times per day • Development of token economy reward plan tailored to his interests (e.g., earn tokens he can cash in for iTunes or extra time playing video games) • Regularly scheduled check-ins with parents about progress • Weekly visits with pediatric psychologist
Psychiatric Comorbidiy • Untreated ADHD/ Current inattention/ impulsivity • Generalized behavior problems/ oppositionality • Significant anxiety problems that exacerbate defecation anxiety
Problems in the school setting (school refusal, bullying)
Signs of mood dysfunction: increased irritability or dysphoric mood, changes in sleep, decreased academic performance, decreased interests
Parental difficulty implementing behavioral plan, pre-existing parenting problems, such as poor limit-setting, obvious pattern of highly negative parent-child interactions
Lack of success with basic behavioral plan
