Ten mothers living with HIV their (6 weeks-20 months) at Tygerberg Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa, participated. The received daily potato maltodextrin mixed expressed breast milk 4 weeks, serving as placebo control upcoming trial. Outcomes assessed included feasibility, acceptability, adherence, health effects,...

Introduction Children who are HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU), that is, children do not acquire HIV infection despite being born to mothers with HIV, have a higher risk of mortality, infectious morbidity and growth deficits than HIV-unexposed (HUU). Prior research has focused on breast feeding pointed changes in human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) associated maternal may influence the infant microbiome thereby lead these adverse outcomes. However, our knowledge, no study attempted intervene...
Pancreatitis is a rare but serious condition in obstetric patients, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It can range from mild acute pancreatitis to severe complications such as necrosis, abscesses, pseudocysts, multi-organ failure. While hypertriglyceridemia common cause, has also been linked preeclampsia shock. We present the case of 22-year-old primigravida who developed an infected pancreatic pseudocyst 27 days after cesarean section performed at 35 + 1 weeks gestation...
