Lactose feeding in lactose-intolerant monkeys

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1973
By the criteria used for human screening, adult cebus monkeys were "tolerant" to an oral load of lactose (1 g/kg body weight), whereas adult squirrel, rhesus, and galago monkeys were mostly "intolerant." To assess the effects of lactose feeding on the lactose tolerance test and on intestinal enzyme levels, 7 of 12 "lactose-intolerant" adult galago ...

An interesting cause of neonatal feed intolerance

Archives of disease in childhood - Education & practice edition, 2013
Growth restricted twins were born at 29+2 weeks gestation. They were managed with empirical antibiotics, surfactant therapy and respiratory support. Both received total parenteral nutrition (TPN) until fully enterally fed. By day 5 of life, they were …

Erythromycin for feeding intolerance in preterm infants

2001
Functional immaturity of gastrointestinal motility predisposes preterm infants to feeding intolerance. Motilin, a gastrointestinal peptide, stimulates propagative contractile activity during phase III of the migratory motor complex in the interdigestive state.

Metoclopramide Promotes Enteral Feeding in Preterm Infants with Feeding Intolerance

Developmental Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2017
We hypothesized that the feeding difficulties experienced by premature infants are related to immature peristaltic activity and that a bowel accelerant might promote feeding in prematures. We administered metoclopramide (Meto) to 14 infants admitted to the Intensive Care Nursery at The University of Chicago between January 1, 1984, and January 1, 1987.

Intolerance to enteral feeding in the brain-injured patient

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1988
✓ Calorie and protein supplementation improves nutritional status. This support may improve outcome and decrease morbidity and mortality in acutely brain-injured patients. Investigators have observed a poor tolerance to enteral feedings after brain injury and have noted that this persists for approximately 14 days postinjury.

Erythromycin Fails to Improve Feeding Outcome in Feeding‐Intolerant Preterm Infants

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2003
ABSTRACTObjectiveApproximately half of extremely low birth weight infants have feeding intolerance, which delays their achievement of full enteral feedings. Erythromycin, a motilin receptor agonist, triggers migrating motor complexes and accelerates gastric emptying in adults with feeding intolerance. Few studies have assessed the efficacy of this drug

It Is a Wrap! Or Is It?: The Role of Fundoplication in Infant Feeding Intolerance

Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2019
Abstract Purpose: Fundoplication is one of the most common procedures performed by pediatric surgeons, frequently for gastroesophageal reflux with feeding intolerance. No consensus exists in its management, with multiple institutions opting for medical therapy over surgical intervention.

Alleviation of Retching and Feeding Intolerance After Fundoplication

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, 2014
Background: Although surgical intervention for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children offers the strongest control of GERD, these results are tempered by postoperative problems such as retching, bloat, dysphagia, dumping syndrome, and postprandial hypoglycemia.

Abdominal Distension and Feeding Intolerance

2014
The most salient dilemma in the post-surgical patient with abdominal distention and feeding intolerance is whether the bowel is obstructed. If the index of suspicion is high the questions of whether it is a functional or mechanical obstruction and where is the location of the obstruction needs to be addressed.

Nomogram to predict feeding intolerance in critically ill children

European Journal of Pediatrics, 2023
Feed intolerance (FI) is significantly associated with poor prognosis in critically ill patients. This study aimed to understand the characteristics of children with FI and identify the factors predicting FI in critically ill children. This retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 2017 and June 2022 in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit ...
