A Rapid Colorimetric Method for Determining Calcium, Inorganic Phosphorus, and Zinc in Human Milk Using Clinical Laboratory Reagents

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
We evaluated a colorimetric assay using clinical reagents for determining Ca, IP, and Zn in human milk. Significant correlations were observed between Ca, IP, and Zn levels determined by colorimetric assay and Ca, total P, and Zn levels determined by ICP‐AES.

Integrative Genomics Reveals Causal Pleiotropy and Therapeutic Opportunities at the Interface of Acute Pancreatitis and Infection

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Understanding the genetic links between acute pancreatitis (AP) and its infectious comorbidities is crucial for prognosis and therapy, yet remains underexplored. Methods We conducted a comprehensive post‐GWAS analysis using large‐scale summary statistics for AP and 16 infectious diseases. To pinpoint pleiotropic genes, we integrated

Incidence, Treatment, and Outcome Trends of Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Preterm Infants: A Multicenter Cohort Study

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020
Background: Data regarding the incidence and mortality of necrotizing enterocolitis trends are scarce in the literature. Recently, some preventive strategies have been confirmed (probiotics) or increased (breastfeeding rate).

Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis in experimental necrotizing enterocolitis: alterations in inflammation, innate immune response, and the microbiota. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundProbiotics decrease the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). We sought to determine the impact of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis) in the established rat model of NEC.MethodsRat pups delivered 1 d prior to term gestation

Preterm gut microbiota and metabolome following discharge from intensive care [PDF]

, 2015
The development of the preterm gut microbiome is important for immediate and longer-term health following birth. We aimed to determine if modifications to the preterm gut on the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) impacted the gut microbiota and ...

Most costly and prevalent reasons for hospitalization in children with medical complexity in Ontario, Canada

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Children with medical complexity (CMC) have chronic health conditions often associated with functional limitations. CMC comprise 1%–5% of the pediatric population. In Canada, their care accounts for one‐third of pediatric health spending.

Enteral and intravenous supplementation of arginine and citrulline fail to prevent necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm neonatal pigs

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastrointestinal emergency in preterm infants with a morality rate that approaches 50%. Arginine has been widely studied in the field of clinical nutrition as a supplement for patients experiencing critical illness because it can be metabolized into nitric oxide, an important agent ...

Developmental outcomes after soybean oil vs mixed‐oil intravenous lipid emulsions in neonates: A secondary analysis of a clinical trial

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fatty acids make up a significant portion of brain mass. The choice of lipid injectable emulsion alters a patient's fatty acid profile. In neonates with intestinal failure dependent on parenteral nutrition, this is particularly concerning given their rapid brain development. Methods We randomly assigned 24 infants to receive soy oil
