National implementation of rapid trio genome sequencing (rtGS) in a clinical acute setting is essential to ensure advanced and equitable care for ill neonates.
The rate of weight gain in preterm infants who are exposed to music seems improve. A potential mechanism could be increased metabolic efficiency; therefore, we conducted this study test the hypothesis that by Mozart reduces resting energy expenditure (REE) growing healthy infants. DESIGN. prospective, randomized clinical trial with crossover was 20 healthy, appropriate-weight-for-gestational-age, gavage-fed Infants were randomly assigned a 30-minute period or no on 2 consecutive days....
Objective. To estimate fat and energy contents of human milk during prolonged lactation. Methods. Thirty-four mothers, term, healthy, growing children, who had been lactating for >1 year (12–39 months) were recruited. Control subjects 27 term infants, 2 to 6 months. Fat the samples estimated as creamatocrit (CMT) levels. Energy measured with a bomb calorimeter. Results. The groups did not differ in terms maternal height diet, infant birth weight, gestational age, or breastfeeding...
Little is known about the effect of advanced maternal age upon macronutrients human milk. This study was designed to contents (fat, lactose, and protein) in milk collected first 2 weeks life older (≥35 years) compared with younger (<35 mothers.Seventy-two lactating mothers (38 older, 34 younger) newborns were recruited within 3 days delivery. Macronutrient measured at 72 hours, 7 days, 14 after delivery using infrared transmission spectroscopy.The groups did not differ terms prepregnancy...
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) stimulate the growth of gut commensals, prevent adhesion enteropathogens and modulate host immunity. The major factors influencing variations in HMO profile are polymorphisms secretor (Se) or Lewis (Le) gene, which affect activity enzymes fucoslytransferase 2 3 (FUT2 FUT3) that lead to formation four fucosylated non-fucosylated (OS). This pilot study aimed determine Israeli breastfeeding mothers 16 term 4 preterm infants, from a single tertiary center Tel...
<h3>Objective</h3> To test the hypothesis that articles with negative results are more likely than positive to be published in journals lower impact factor. <h3>Design and Setting</h3> We selected all of randomized, placebo-controlled trials conducted during neonatal period between October 1, 1998, 2003. Trials were classified as having or (significant no significant difference, respectively). Only studies dealing primary outcomes (efficacy) included. <h3>Main Outcome Measures</h3> The...
Previous research has suggested an inverse relationship between T-helper 2-related atopic disorders, such as asthma, and 1-related autoimmune diseases. One controversial hypothesis postulates that asthma provides a protective effect for the development of autoimmune-related disorders.To assess rate newly diagnosed disorders in large cohort young adults.Using cross-sectional data from Israeli Defense Force database, authors analyzed prevalence asthmatic nonasthmatic military personnel 1980...
Little is known about circadian variations of macronutrients content expressed preterm human milk (HM). This study evaluated diurnal and energy HM over the first 7 weeks lactation tested hypothesis that values obtained during a morning sample are predictive those from an evening sample.Expressed was 32 mothers infants (26-33 in gestational age), who routinely all their every 3 hours beginning second to seventh week after delivery. One aliquot expression expression. Energy contents were...
<h3>Importance</h3> Feeding intolerance is a common condition among preterm infants owing to immaturity of the gastrointestinal tract. Enteral insulin appears promote intestinal maturation. The concentration in human milk declines rapidly post partum and absent formula; therefore, recombinant (rh) for enteral administration as supplement formula may reduce feeding infants. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess efficacy safety 2 different dosages rh both formula. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3>...
This study assessed the utility of capillary blood cartridge-based analysis in evaluating neonatal jitteriness (NJ). In this retrospective study, we compared outcomes between neonates (37-41 weeks gestation) diagnosed with (NJ) within first 72 h life and a control group healthy (GA 37-41 weeks) an uneventful perinatal course no signs jitteriness. Each included 101 neonates. Jittery had higher proportion males (70.3% vs. 50.5%, p = 0.004), lower mean gestational age (38.8 39.2 weeks, 0.002),...
Background:Little is known about circadian variations of the fat content in expressed human milk by mothers preterm infants.Objective: To test hypothesis that higher samples evening (i.e. after 3 daily meals) than morning (after a night-long fast).Methods: We collected obtained from 39 hospitalized growing infants aged 7–14 days, with gestational age at birth ranging 26 to 33 weeks, who routinely all their every hours, during day time, just before bed and as soon they woke up, using...
Little is known about the effect of maternal age on human milk (HM) composition. This study was designed to fat content, estimated by creamatocrit (CMT), in HM collected first 2 weeks life older (≥ 35 years) compared with younger (<35 mothers.Ninety lactating mothers (48 older, 42 younger) newborns were recruited within 3 days delivery. CMTs measured at 72 hours, 7 days, and 14 after delivery for a capillary tube centrifugation 5,366 g 5 minutes.The groups did not differ terms height diet,...
Ultrasound velocity (speed-of-sound [SOS]) has been proposed as a non-invasive method of evaluation bone status in infants. We hypothesized that SOS correlates with both gestational age and birth weight.We measured within the first 96 hours life at right tibial midshaft location 73 neonates ranging from 25 to 41 weeks, weight 825 3880 grams. used Sunlight Omnisense 7000p device (Tel Aviv, Israel). Results are expressed meanS +/- 1 SD; statistical analyses included linear regression...
Human colostrums and transition milk were collected from women under the age of 37 years aged older. Transition younger group had lower fat content 10-fold higher concentrations omega 6 FA, eicosadecanoic, arachdonic acids. Gestational affected colostrum concentration total 3 FA composition only in older group. We concluded that may be a factor human milk. This should taken into account when planning diets for pregnant different ages.
