Probiotics up-regulate MUC-2 mucin gene expression in a Caco-2 cell-culture model (2002)
Harmon, C., Yongyi, F., Mattar, A. F., Drongowski, Robert A., Teitelbaum, Daniel H., Coran, Arnold G.
Enteral probiotics such as Lactobacillus casei GG (LGG) have been used in the treatment of a variety of intestinal disorders in infants and children, including diarrhea, malabsorption, and...
Total Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Changes in Mouse Intestinal Intraepithelial Lymphocytes (2002)
Teitelbaum, Daniel H., Mosley, R. Lee, Yang, Hua, Forbush, Benjamin, Antony, Paul, Kiristioglu, Irfan, ...
Intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) play a major role in mucosal defense mechanisms against intraluminal foreign antigens. To address the role luminal nutrients have on the phenotype and function of...
CT appearance of the spleen following conservative management of traumatic injury (1999)
Teitelbaum, Daniel H., Strouse, Peter J., Drongowski, Robert A., Blane, Caroline E.
Objective: To describe the long-term changes in the traumatized spleen following conservative management in pediatric patients. Methods: Between 1991 and 1997, 92 children were imaged with splenic...

A variety of complications can arise after the definitive pull-through operation for Hirschsprung's disease. Among these are constipation and soiling, which may be due to mismanagement of the...
Successful management of a chylothorax in infancy using a pleurectomy (1996)
Teitelbaum, Daniel H., Hirschl, Ronald B., Teich, Steven
The management of chylothorax is described in three infants. Because none of them had had a direct injury to the thoracic duct, it was suspected that the chylothoraces had a significant chance of...
Megacolon: an unusual presentation of malrotation (1994)
Teitelbaum, Daniel H., Uitvlugt, N., Coran, Arnold G., Olson, Allan David, Ayas, M.
This report describes a 9-year-old boy with a highly unusual variant of malrotation: massive colonic distention secondary to peritoneal bands and a localized volvulus. The presentation and treatment...
Laparoscopic diagnosis and excision of Meckel's diverticulum (1994)
Teitelbaum, Daniel H., Obeid, Farouck
Meckel's diverticulum is one of the primary concerns in the differential diagnosis of the pediatric patient with massive, acute gastrointestinal bleeding, intussusception, or abdominal pain of...
Pediatric Short Bowel Syndrome: Redefining Predictors of Success
Spencer, Ariel U., Neaga, Andreea, West, Brady, Safran, Jared, Brown, Pamela, Btaiche, Imad, ...
A review of 80 pediatric short bowel syndrome patients demonstrated that cholestasis and age-adjusted bowel length, but not the ileocecal valve, are the main predictors of mortality. The combination...
