Oligosaccharides may alter postnatal immune development by influencing the constitution of gastrointestinal bacterial flora.To investigate effect a prebiotic mixture galacto- and long chain fructo-oligosaccharides on incidence atopic dermatitis (AD) during first six months life in formula fed infants at high risk atopy.Prospective, double-blind, randomised, placebo controlled trial; 259 for atopy were enrolled. A total 102 group 104 completed study. If bottle feeding was started, infant...

It has been suggested that human breast milk oligosaccharides play a role in the development of immune system infants, and may consequently inhibit onset allergy. A specific prebiotic mixture short-chain galacto-oligosaccharides long-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (GOS/FOS) shown to reduce incidence atopic dermatitis (AD) at 6 months age infants risk for allergy.This study was aimed analyze effect GOS/FOS on response these infants.In double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study, received...
Preterm infants fed fortified human milk (HM) in standard (STD) fashion grow slower than preterm formula infants. Recently, low protein intake has been proven to be the primary limiting factor responsible for this growth failure. The main reason of undernutrition despite fortification is that STD based on customary assumptions about composition HM. However, concentration HM variable and decreases with duration lactation. Also, banked donor milk, which most often provided by mothers term...
Abstract Human milk confers health benefits of vital importance for the sick and preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Mother’s own is first choice infant feeding, every effort should be made to promote lactation. When mother’s not available or insufficient, donor human (DHM) recommended. Yet, occasionally, concern that use DHM might decrease breastfeeding being raised. The present data collection planned by Italian Association Milk Banks (AIBLUD) collaboration with...
Background. Mother’s own milk (MOM) is the gold standard for feeding and nutrition of preterm term infants. When MOM not available or enough, donor human should be used. Milk delivered to Human Banks (HMBs) pasteurized inactivate viral bacterial agents. Currently, a pasteurization process at 62.5°C 30 minutes (Holder pasteurization, HoP) recommended in all international guidelines HMBs. It known that HoP affects some nutritional biological components milk. State art. Some studies demonstrate...
In preterm infants, feeding with human milk (HM) is a very effective intervention for the prevention of infections and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), potentially improved neurocognitive cardiovascular outcomes in long-term. Hospitals physicians are advised to recommend HM other high-risk infants either by direct breastfeeding and/or using mother's own expressed milk. Donor preferred when not available sufficient quantity. While some countries donor has been considered an tool delivery...
HUMAN MILK AND PREMATURE INFANTS The Panel members agree on the statements from American Academy of Pediatrics (1) and ESPGHAN Committee Nutrition (2) which state that because potential benefits all preterm infants should receive HM. OMM be primary diet, if is not available or in sufficient quantity, pasteurized donor human milk obtained a recognized HMB used. agrees with these strongly supports recommendation WELL ESTABLISHED ADVANTAGES OF advantages HM include protection against NEC...
Background the addition of oligosaccharides to infant formula has been shown mimic some beneficial effects human milk. The aim study was assess tolerance and safety a containing an innovative mixture in early infancy. Methodology/Principal Findings this performed as multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial including healthy term infants. Infants were recruited before age 8 weeks, either having started with feeding or being fully breast-fed (breastfeeding group)....

When a mother's own milk is not available, WHO recommends pasteurised donor human as the first alternative.1WHODonor for low-birth-weight infants.https://www.who.int/elena/titles/donormilk_infants/en/Date: 2019Date accessed: April 30, 2020Google Scholar Human banks screen and recruit donors, have wide-ranging precautions to ensure safety of milk.

Infectious and toxicological risks are the main potential hazards that operators of Human Milk Banks (HMBs) encounter must eliminate. HMBs trying to implement procedures allow manage sanitize human milk without altering significantly its nutritional biologically protective components, obtaining a product characterized by valid balance between safety biological quality. The history processing is linked origins themselves. And although other forms sterilization were used originally,...
Abstract Aim: To assess in infants the number of illness episodes treated with antibiotics and prescription rates five European countries. Methods: This study was embedded a multicenter nutritional intervention conducted Infants were followed until 1 year age. Illness prescriptions systemic recorded by parents. Results: caused upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) 55–64% otitis media (OM) 2–6.8%. URTIs statistically significant more frequently Italy (18.8%), less Switzerland (1.4%). OM...
The study was aimed at evaluating the effect of prolonged refrigeration fresh human milk (HM) on its fatty acid profile, free content, lipase activities, and oxidative status.HM from mothers preterm newborns collected, pooled, placed in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) refrigerator. Pooled aliquoted analyzed within 3 hours collection, after 24, 48, 72, 96 storage. samples were for pH, total activity room temperature 4°C, presence sodium cholate (bile salt-dependent lipase), antioxidant...
