Abdominal Ultrasound and Abdominal Radiograph to Diagnose Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Extremely Preterm Infants [PDF]

, 2019
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an important contributor towardmortality in extremely premature infants and Very Low Birth Weight(VLBW) infants. The incidence of NEC was 9% in VLBW infants(birth weight 401 to 1,500 grams) in the Vermont Oxford Network(

Combined analysis of microbial metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing data to assess in situ physiological conditions in the premature infant gut. [PDF]

, 2020
Microbes alter their transcriptomic profiles in response to the environment. The physiological conditions experienced by a microbial community can thus be inferred using meta-transcriptomic sequencing by comparing transcription levels of specifically ...

Delayed presentation of a retained colonic segment in a child with intestinal failure on teduglutide

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Teduglutide is a glucagon‐like peptide 2 (GLP‐2) analogue that was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of pediatric (>1 year) intestinal failure due to short bowel syndrome in 2019. GLP‐2 analogues promote rapid intestinal adaptation, increasing the absorptive capacity of residual intestine after ...

Loss of murine Paneth cell function alters the immature intestinal microbiome and mimics changes seen in neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis [PDF]

, 2018
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains the leading cause of gastrointestinal morbidity and mortality in premature infants. Human and animal studies suggest a role for Paneth cells in NEC pathogenesis.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis: The Future [PDF]

Neonatology, 2020
Progress in our understanding of the pathophysiology, prevention and treatment of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) has been hampered for many reasons. Included among these is the fact that what we are calling “NEC” is likely to represent different disease processes, which need to be delineated before evaluating individual pathogenic mechanisms and ...

Portal venous gas: A benign finding in pyloric stenosis?

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Pyloric stenosis is a condition of infancy characterized by hypertrophy of the pylorus, which can progress to significant narrowing and near‐obstruction of the gastric outlet. We describe a case of a patient with pyloric stenosis who was incidentally found to have portal venous gas on ultrasound.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis Symposium: Epidemiology and Early Diagnosis [PDF]

, 2017
Despite decades of research on necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), the outlook for infants afflicted by this devastating disease is all too often bleak. The aim of this symposium at the BAPS conference in Amsterdam was to highlight recent advances in the ...

Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Infection

Clinics in Perinatology, 1994
Infections are considered to play an important role in the pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The evidence for infectious causes of NEC is reexamined, with special attention to the clinical definition and reported outbreaks of NEC. Future areas of study are proposed.
