This webinar aims to offer suggestions to fellow and junior faculty as to how to write the best manuscript possible. Our distinguished speakers will review the details surrounding manuscripts, including methods, ethical considerations, biostatistics, results, discussions, figures, tables and conclusions. Guidance will be given as to how to respond to reviewers. Specific requirements for JPGN and JPGN Reports will also be discussed. Join moderators Dr. Kathleen Schwarz and Dr. Nitika Gupta, and a speaker panel featuring Susan Baker, MD, PhD, Sandeep Gupta, MD, Sanjiv Harpavat, MD, PhD, Veronique Morinville, MDCM, FRCPC and Edwin de Zoeten, MD, PhD.

Diagnosing and treating children with neurodevelopmental disorders – including autism, cerebral palsy, and other genetic conditions – presents a unique set of challenges for gastrointestinal disorders. These children often experience a higher prevalence of GI issues which can exacerbate their behavioral and sensory sensitivities. The overlap between GI symptoms and behavioral issues can make it difficult to identify the root cause of distress, complicating diagnosis and treatment.

Communication barriers due to diagnoses, caregiver and patient-imposed dietary restrictions, pediatric feeding disorders and variable growth charts can further complicate nutritional management. Providers need a lower threshold for considering diagnostics and treatment, and the patient may benefit from a collaboration between their provider and behavioral therapists, psychiatrists, neurologists and developmental pediatricians.

This webinar aims to provide high-yield evidence and experience-based practical clinical tools, and will touch on innovation, research, technology and advocacy in this area.
