Multicenter StudyVitamin D supplementation and status in infants: a prospective cohort observational study.
Vitamin D status in infants depends on supplementation. We examined the vitamin D status in relation to supplementation dose and scheme in infants. ⋯ Vitamin D supplementation of infants should consider their rapid body weight increment. We postulate vitamin D daily dose close to 100 IU/kg body weight as favorable for infants up to age 12 months.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudySafety and symptom improvement with esomeprazole in adolescents with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
The primary objective was to assess the safety of esomeprazole 20 or 40 mg once daily in adolescents with clinically diagnosed gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). A secondary aim was to assess changes in GERD symptoms after esomeprazole therapy. ⋯ In adolescent patients with GERD, esomeprazole 20 or 40 mg daily for 8 weeks was well tolerated, and GERD-related symptoms were significantly reduced from baseline values in both groups.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyDouble-blind randomized evaluation of clinical and biological tolerance of polyethylene glycol 4000 versus lactulose in constipated children.
To assess the safety of a polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000 laxative without additional salts in pediatric patients. ⋯ This 3-month study in 96 constipated children aged 6 months to 3 years confirms the long-term tolerance of PEG 4000 in pediatrics and indicates a PEG efficacy similar to or greater than that of lactulose.
