Cholestasis is indicative of hepatobiliary dysfunction and is always pathological. Early detection helps improve the prognosis of some of the underlying diseases that cause it. The most common liver disease that causes cholestasis in the first months of life is biliary atresia, followed by monogenic diseases. The objective of this document is to provide consensus-based recommendations for the adequate management of cholestasis based on the review of the current evidence. A working group was created for the purpose, with participation of members of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, the Spanish Association of Primary Care Pediatrics and the Spanish Society of Primary Care Pediatrics. The group established 26 recommendations to guide management in everyday clinical practice in both primary care and hospital settings.

Epidemiological studies and studies in animal models have demonstrated the importance of the early stages of life and their relationship with health and disease in adulthood. Intervening in the risk of adult diseases by acting early in life is possible due to the great plasticity of this period, when timely actions can have a great impact. These would be aimed at reducing risk factors which would help to break the intergenerational vicious circles of maternal and childhood obesity, diabetes and related cardiometabolic health consequences, with a potential impact on the next generation.
Obesity in children and adolescents is a global health problem whose prevalence is increasing. When it comes to the risk of developing childhood obesity, the periods from conception and pregnancy through the end of the first 2 years of life are particularly relevant. Despite the special relevance of this stage, it has not always received the attention it deserves, and the approach at this time not free of difficulties.
Due to their importance, each of these stages requires specific approaches. Education on the concept of the relevance of healthy lifestyles during this period should be delivered not only to health care personnel but also to the general population.

Introduction
The Cow’s Milk-related Symptom Score (CoMiSS) is a practical tool to assess for cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) in infants based on clinical manifestations, although the diagnosis of CMPA should be confirmed subsequently by a specialist in pediatrics and/or pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition. The aim of this study was to compare CoMiSS results in infants diagnosed with IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated CMPA.
Material and methods
Multicenter, cross-sectional survey study with participation of pediatricians throughout Spain. Pediatricians were directed to apply the CoMiSS to infants at the time of diagnosis of CMPA and 7 days after initiating nutritional management with an extensively hydrolyzed formula (EHF). We interpreted a CoMiSS score of 12 or greater as positive.
Results
A total of 294 pediatricians (mean age, 51 years) participated in the study. The analysis included CoMiSS results for 1176 infants with CMPA (mean [SD] age, 6.4 [4.9] months), of who 66.8% (n = 745) had non-IgE-mediated CMPA. We found a greater decrease in the mean score in the IgE-mediated group compared to the non-IgE-mediated group (mean [SD], −9.06 [5.74] vs −6.00 [4.05]; P < .0001). When it came to individual symptoms, there were significantly greater reductions in the mean scores for crying and regurgitation in the non-IgE-mediated group, and, conversely, significantly greater reductions in the scores for atopic eczema in the head and arms, urticaria and respiratory symptoms in the IgE-mediated group. There was also a greater decrease in the total CoMiSS score in infants with very severe CMPA compared to infants with severe, moderate and mild CMPA.
Conclusion
This survey showed that only one third of infants diagnosed with CMPA had a positive CoMiSS result of 12 points or greater at the time of diagnosis, which suggests an inadequate use of the CoMiSS. We recommend the implementation of strategies to increase knowledge of the utility of the CoMiSS for the assessment of CMPA.
简介:牛奶相关症状评分(CoMiSS)是一种基于临床表现评估婴儿牛奶蛋白过敏(CMPA)的实用工具,尽管CMPA的诊断应随后由儿科和/或儿科胃肠病学和营养学专家确认。本研究的目的是比较CoMiSS在诊断为ige介导和非ige介导的CMPA的婴儿中的结果。材料和方法:多中心,横断面调查研究与全西班牙儿科医生的参与。指导儿科医生在诊断为CMPA时和开始用广泛水解配方奶粉(EHF)进行营养管理7天后对婴儿应用CoMiSS。我们认为CoMiSS得分为12或更高为正。结果:共有294名儿科医生(平均年龄51岁)参与了研究。分析纳入了1176例CMPA患儿(平均[SD]年龄6.4[4.9]个月)的CoMiSS结果,其中66.8% (n = 745)为非ige介导的CMPA。我们发现,与非ige介导组相比,ige介导组的平均评分下降幅度更大(平均[SD], -9.06 [5.74] vs -6.00 [4.05]; P结论:本调查显示,诊断为CMPA的婴儿中,只有三分之一在诊断时CoMiSS结果为12分或更高,这表明CoMiSS使用不充分。我们建议实施战略,以增加对CoMiSS评估CMPA效用的认识。

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) encompasses a range of technologies that have transformed genomic research since the 2000s. By allowing the sequencing of large DNA fragments at a significantly lower cost than Sanger sequencing, NGS has become an indispensable tool in molecular laboratories, particularly in the field of molecular genetics. Its high efficiency and speed make it a first-line technique in genetic analysis.
A crucial step in achieving a diagnosis is bioinformatics analysis. Short-read sequencing technology generates raw data that must be processed to extract meaningful and interpretable information. This process enables the identification of causal links between genetic findings and phenotypic traits. Clinical bioinformatics specialists carry out this analysis using specialized tools and pipelines, which take into account the specific characteristics of the sequencing platforms, protocols and the particular diseases under study.
The quality review is an essential complement to the pipeline analysis. Its primary objective is to assess which samples are suitable for diagnosis and, in cases where results are negative, to identify the reasons, whether they are related to the incidence or other factors. Additionally, the quality review offers insight into the overall effectiveness of the experimental procedures.
Despite its many advantages, NGS still faces several challenges, including the need for more efficient technologies, enhanced regulatory frameworks and improved training of medical staff.
