Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition is rapidly evolving due to scientific advances and the increasing prevalence of relevant disorders. Our knowledge in several key areas has expanded significantly over the last decade. This includes greater insight into the etiology and management of conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, and liver diseases. We have also made progress in understanding the role of the intestinal microbiome in health and disease, as well as improving diagnostic testing and imaging studies in children. New treatments, such as personalized medicine approaches using genetic testing for inflammatory bowel disease, are being adopted for complex conditions. However, there are still many gaps in our knowledge of many gastrointestinal conditions in children.
This Special Issue aims to collect and publish original research articles and reviews demonstrating recent advances in the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions across the field of pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition. Authors are also invited to explore various aspects such as pathophysiology, prevention, supportive care, long-term outcomes, epidemiology, organization of care, and the economic impact of these diseases.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
