Title Participants "Is Acute Rejection Truly Acute or an Exacerbation of an Underlying Disease?" "Arne Neyrinck, Dirk Van Raemdonck" "Management of Pneumatosis Intestinalis beyond the Neonatal Period" "Alexey Abramov, Felix De Bie, Rosa Hwang, Matthew Hornick, Myron Allukian, Gary Wayne Nace" "Recurrent gallstone ileus" "Anne Iudicello, Jan Vanstiphout, Tom Verbelen" "We present the case of a recurrent gallstone ileus in a 76-year old female patient, which presented at our emergency department on January 15th 2015. In both episodes (January 16th and February 1st, 2015), only a simple enterotomy with stone extraction was performed. One year later, she is fully recovered and in good health. Recurrent gallstone ileus most often occurs in elderly patients with multiple co-morbidities. In our aging population, its prevalence is expected to increase. Because of the vague, intermittent symptoms, diagnosis of gallstone ileus is often delayed, contributing to its high mortality rate. CT-scan has become the preferred diagnostic imaging modality. Treatment should be individualized, with stone removal by enterotomy alone being the most commonly used strategy. For symptomatic patients, a two-stage procedure with urgent enterotomy followed by a delayed cholecystectomy can be considered. The one-stage procedure, in which enterotomy is combined with cholecystectomy and fistula closure, should be reserved for those few patients with minimal cholecystitis and in good overall condition."

Children present with a wide range of symptoms. The most common diagnostic tools to evaluate esophageal dysphagia, such as upper barium study and manometry, aim to characterize anatomy and function of the esophageal body and the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). Using these technologies, a variety of pathological motor patterns have been identified in children with esophageal atresia. However, the most challenging part of diagnosing patients with esophageal dysphagia lies in the fact that these methods fail to link functional symptoms such as dysphagia with the esophageal motor disorders observed. A recent method, called pressure-flow analysis (PFA), uses simultaneously acquired impedance and manometry measurements, and applies an integrated analysis of these recordings to derive quantitative pressure-flow metrics. These pressure-flow metrics allow detection of the interplay between bolus flow, motor patterns, and symptomatology by combining data on bolus transit and bolus flow resistance. Based on a dichotomous categorization, flow resistance at the EGJ and ineffective esophageal bolus transit can be determined. This method has the potential to guide therapeutic decisions for esophageal dysmotility in pediatric patients with esophageal atresia." "Minute-by-minute monitoring of autoregulation.

Construction of a defunctioning stoma (DS) reduces the morbidity of AL. This study aims to illustrate the AL rate and its related morbidity with and without primary stoma formation in the context of a Belgian project, PROCARE." "PROCARE: what is on the Agenda?
