Gluten-free diet had a positive impact on neuropsychiatric symptoms. We suggest the use of PSC in the routine follow-up of coeliacs in order to allow an early detection of psychosocial problems.

We introduce a novel approach based on agonist‐induced internalization of a neuronal G protein‐coupled receptor widely distributed in the mammalian brain, the somatostatin receptor type 2 (SST2).This approach provides an alternative and simple manner to assess BBB dysfunction and development in different physiological and pathological conditions.

Methemoglobinemia is an alteration of the oxidative state of hemoglobin. When methemoglobin values rise above 10%, the symptoms and signs related to this condition appear, such as cyanosis, respiratory problems, fatigue and headache. Acquired methemoglobinemia is characterized by the sudden onset of cyanosis in a previous healthy child, which can be due to exposure to medications or chemical substances including nitrates, copper, sulfates, chlorites, chloramines and chlorates which can be present in food and water. We illustrate two cases of acquired methemoglobinemia related to nitrate ingestion from a vegetable source.
