Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a privilege and honor to be the Guest Editor of this Special Issue dedicated to the discoveries and advances in diagnosis and therapy in pediatric gastroenterology. In the last fifty years, we have seen a complete transformation of pediatrics. We have seen the enormous influence of the brilliant mind of Professor Guido Fanconi, establishing the steps of the modern approach to Pediatrics using a bench-bed methodology. In the last twenty years, we witnessed the evolution of the Human Genome Project into the Human Proteome Project. The Human Transcriptome Project is stepping in to improve our understanding of many pediatric diseases. The surgical intervention became increasingly minimal, and numerous congenital anomalies are operated either in utero or shortly after birth. Pediatric gastroenterology has acquired an enormous body of knowledge that delineates several entities, e.g., the congenital segmental dilatation of the intestine and other Hirschsprung’s disease allied disorders. By 2030, approximately one in five individuals in several Western countries are predicted to be 65 or older. However, children are our future, and delineating several entities will shape the therapeutical methodology in the youth and beyond. We welcome narrative, scoping, systematic reviews, original reports, and case reports dealing with pediatric gastroenterology.
I hope this Special Issue will be successful and collect several contributions.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Josef Hager
Guest Editor
