The evidence for the benefits from breast milk in the neurodevelopment of premature babies – a review of the recent literature [PDF]
Introduction. The brain in preterm babies is usually not fully developed and therefore early post-term events can have long-lasting neurodevelopment and cognitive outcomes. It is known that cerebral white matter connectivity is important for later intact

ABSTRACT Hypophosphatasia (HPP), caused by loss‐of‐function mutations in the ALPL gene encoding tissue‐nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), is characterized by skeletal and dental hypomineralization that can vary in severity from life‐threatening to milder manifestations only in adulthood.

Bayesian Inference of Individualized Treatment Effects using Multi-task Gaussian Processes [PDF]
Predicated on the increasing abundance of electronic health records, we investi- gate the problem of inferring individualized treatment effects using observational data. Stemming from the potential outcomes model, we propose a novel multi- task learning framework in which factual and counterfactual outcomes are mod- eled as the outputs of a function in

TiO2/TiSe2–C heterointerfaces can create built‐in electric fields (BEFs) effects, and the intercalation mechanism is converted from the of Zn(H2O)62+ to smaller Zn(H2O)22+, featuring lower charge transfer energy barriers, faster ion transfer kinetics, suppression of HER, increased Ti–Se bond strength, and enhanced structural stabilities.

Plasma Carnitine of the Premature Infant [PDF]
Premature infants have been shown to exhibit fat intolerance with the administration of exogenous lipid, especially intravenous lipid. Carnitine is required for the efficient oxidation of long-chain fatty acids.

“Ears of the Lynx” Sign on Brain MRI in Siblings With Spastic Paraplegia: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Background Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a rare, clinically and genetically heterogenous condition that selectively affects the terminal segment of the descending corticospinal tract of the lumbar spine area, causing lower extremity spastic weakness with or without associated complex neurological symptoms.

Over 10 million children in the world have epilepsy, with an unknown cause in half of the cases. The gut microbiome has been associated with various neurological disorders, and certain drugs greatly disturb the microbiome. Our aim was to study the association of prenatal and childhood exposure (before the age of two) to antibiotics, proton pump ...

Effect of Education on Awareness of Practice of Mothers in Care of Premature Infants
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Reducing the mortality rate of low birth weight and preterm infants is associated with an increase in their care needs. Insufficient knowledge of mother in effective care of the premature infant affects the process of growth and

Infant-Directed Speech to Preterm Infants during the First Year Postpartum: The Influence of Preterm Birth Weight and Maternal Parenting Stress [PDF]
Premature birth can increase the level of parenting stress (PS), especially in the case of parents of high-risk infants (extremely low birth weight (ELBW) and very low birth weight (VLBW)).

Manipulating a Continuous Instrumental Variable in an Observational Study of Premature Babies: Algorithm, Partial Identification Bounds, and Inference under Randomization and Biased Randomization Assumptions [PDF]
Regionalization of intensive care for premature babies refers to a triage system of mothers with high-risk pregnancies to hospitals of varied capabilities based on risks faced by infants. Due to the limited capacity of high-level hospitals, which are equipped with advanced expertise to provide critical care, understanding the effect of delivering ...
