Background: Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a chronic antigen mediated inflammatory disease that may occur in any part of the intestine, with a significant increase in the incidence in the last years. It might correlate to the increasing in atopic diseases. Materials and methods: An Observational Descriptive study (Case series) was conducted in 57 children with eosinophilic gastroenteritis. They are selected from Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic, Tishreen University Hospital between September 2016 and September 2021. Results: A total of 57 children, 38 males (66.7%) and 19 females (33.3%) were included in the study. The median age was 5 years, and the most frequent age group was ≤ 3 year (43.9%). Growth failure (45.6%) and abdominal pain (29.8%) represented the most frequent clinical complaints. Many parts of the gastrointestinal tract were affected, and duodenum was the most affected part (63.2%), followed by duodenal bulb (8.8%), colon (5.3%), esophageal (3.5%), and stomach (3.5%). Family history of atopic diseases was present in 29.8% of the cases, especially in both parents (15.8%). The most common atopic features were asthma (36.8%) and allergic rhinitis (31.6%). Milk represented the most frequent food allergen (10.5%), which was diagnosed according to clinical history and food intolerance tests with presence of a significant correlation between food allergy and histological findings (p: 0.02). There were significant differences of the atopic features according to the age groups, in which asthma and allergic rhinitis diagnosed by physicians were more frequent in the older age, whereas other manifestations (urticaria, atopic dermatitis, and food allergy) were more frequent in the children younger than 3 years.

Background: Pneumonia is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in under-five children which accounting two million under-five deaths each year globally. Half of these deaths occur in Sub-Saharan Africa. Regardless of this fact, efforts to identify determinants of pneumonia have been limited in the study area. The aim of this study was to identify determinants of community-acquired pneumonia among 2-59 months of age children in Tehulederie district, Northeast Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based 1:2 unmatched case-control study was conducted in Tehulederie district from August to September 2017 on 132 cases and 264 control of children aged 2 to 59 months were included in the sample. Cases were children with pneumonia, while controls were nonpneumonia children. Data were entered, coded, and cleaned using Epi-info software version 7 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. The binary logistic regression model was used to test associations between each independent factor with the outcome variable. Variables with P < 0.05 were considered significantly associated with communityacquired pneumonia. Results: Children who lived in the urban (AOR = 2.67, 95% CI: 1.5, 4.7), children who are lived in house without windows (AOR = 4.7, 95% CI: 2.7, 8), children who are lived in house in non-separated animal house (AOR = 3.57 95%CI = 1.7, 7.2), children carried on the back of caregivers during cooking (AOR = 4.7, 95% CI: 2.7, 8), crowded family size (AOR = 2, 95% CI: 1.05, 3.37), and children who had history of diarrhea in the past two weeks prior to data collection (AOR = 3.06, 95% CI: 1.68, 5.86), were found to be determinants of community-acquired pneumonia. Conclusion: Children who lived in the urban, children who are lived in house without windows, children who are lived in house in non-separated animal house, children carried on the back of caregivers during cooking, crowded family size and children who had history of diarrhea in the past two weeks prior to data collection showed a significant association with community-acquired pneumonia.

Childhood overweight and obesity is a major public health problem affecting one-third of children and adolescents in the United States, it has been linked to significant health risks and comorbid conditions in children and adults as it has direct associations with chronic health problems in children and adults not limited to diabetes, dyslipidemia, heart disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and many others. Childhood obesity is usually diagnosed and managed at the primary care office but having secondary prevention policy will have a bigger impact as obesity has been shown to be significantly correlated with observable behaviors, and having behavior change interventions will be easiest way to improve the health outcome. Sending a text message encouraging certain behavior changes to the parents of children ranging from 2 to 18 years of age with BMIs of more than the 95 percentiles for their age during their pediatric primary care visits. Sending a text messages weekly for 6 months encouraging certain behavior changes to the parents as SMS text can serve as cue to action according to the Health Belief Model (HBM) which triggers the decisionmaking process to accept a recommended health action.
