Eosinophilic colitis in children: a new and elusive enemy?
ConclusionThis study focus attention on EC as a new challenging pathology. Multicentric randomized clinical trials are needed to understand physiopathological mechanisms to validate a possible endoscopic score and related histological threshold, and to standardize therapy according to clinical features and instrumental findings. The high prevalence of EC in ASD need further specific research.

The association of penicillin allergy with outcomes after open  ventral hernia repair
ConclusionPA patients had more comorbidities and complex ventral hernias. When controlling for contamination and MRSA history, BLP is associated with improved outcomes particularly in contaminated cases. PA may be a risk factor for patient complexity, and further studies are warranted to determine if allergy testing can be warranted in known or anticipated contaminated cases.Graphic abstract

Peri-operative, intravenous clindamycin may improve the resolution rate of hypertension after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in morbidly obese patients
ConclusionProphylactic peri-operative, intravenous clindamycin was associated with significantly increased resolution of post-operative hypertension compared to cefazolin. This finding was not observed in SG patients. Future studies are needed to confirm the mechanism of action for this novel finding is due to the differing modifications of the gastrointestinal microflora after RYGB resulting from the specific peri-operative antibiotic administered.

Prevalence of Chronic Rhinosinusitis in the Setting of Behçet Disease
AbstractBehçet disease (BD) is a systemic autoimmune/autoinflammatory, T helper 1–mediated condition. It is well known that the prevalence of a T helper 1–mediated disease increases in the presence of another T helper 1–mediated comorbidity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of T helper 1–mediated chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis (CRSsNP) and T helper 2–mediated chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis in the presence of comorbid BD. Sixty-nine patients and 74 healthy controls were included in the study. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire for symptoms of rhin...
