Abstract Aim We examined the effects on gastrointestinal (GI) tolerance of a novel infant formula that combined specific fermented (FERM) with short‐chain galacto‐oligosaccharides and long‐chain fructo‐oligosaccharides (scGOS/lcFOS), 9:1 ratio concentration 0.8 g/100 mL. Methods This prospective, double‐blind, randomised, controlled trial comprised 432 healthy, term infants aged 0–28 days whose parents decided to not start, or discontinued, breastfeeding. Infant scGOS/lcFOS+50%FERM,...
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) have important and diverse biological functions in early life. This study tested the safety efficacy of a starter infant formula containing Limosilactobacillus (L.) reuteri DSM 17938 supplemented with 2'-fucosyllactose (2'FL).Healthy infants < 14 days old (n = 289) were randomly assigned to bovine milk-based L. at 1 × 107 CFU/g (control group; CG) or same added 1.0 g/L 2'FL (experimental EG) until 6 months age. A non-randomized breastfed group served as...
Epidemiologic data are presented about the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori positivity as determined by serology in a large series asymptomatic children (n = 466). Serology is now generally accepted valid noninvasive screening method for detection infection. Blood samples were taken from 466 apparently healthy (ages 2-14 years) who admitted to our pediatric 1-day clinic elective surgery. The originated different ethnic backgrounds. All born Belgium and have been living there ever since....
Lipid droplets in human milk have a mode diameter of ∼4 μm and are surrounded by native phospholipid-rich membrane. Current infant formulas (IMFs) contain small lipid (mode ∼0.5 μm) primarily coated proteins. A concept IMF was developed mimicking more closely the structure composition droplets. This randomized, controlled, double-blind equivalence trial evaluates safety tolerance with large, phospholipid–coated 3–5 containing vegetable dairy lipids healthy, term infants. Fully formula-fed...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a disease associated with many complications: the likelihood for development of heart or stroke elevated twofold to fourfold, and prevalence hypertension, retinopathy, neuropathy in patients T2DM approximately 70%, 28%, 60% respectively. Moreover, most important cause kidney failure need nontraumatic lower-limb amputation.1 Eventually, life expectancy reduced by about 8.2 7.5 years men women, respectively, when diagnosed at age 50 years.2 In addition...
Summary Forty-five healthy infants were included in a double-blind randomized prospective study comparing the nutritional value of two formulas. One group received whey-predominant formula (n = 20); other whey hydrolysate 25). Four dropped because they refused formula. Although mean daily volume intake was smaller with compared (p < 0.001), weight gain groups after 13 weeks identical (27.2 g/day both groups; difference between only 8 g). Length at 10.4 cm and 10.8 NS). After weeks, blood...
The Cow's Milk-related Symptom Score (CoMiSSTM) was created as an awareness tool for cow's milk allergy. aim of the present study to analyze inter-rater variability between a pediatrician, parents, and day variability. A Health Care Professional (HCP) parent filled in CoMiSS independently blinded each other evaluate In order validate day-to-day variability, during 3 consecutive days compared scored by HCP. absolute agreement HCP 75%, 92.6% 100% with tolerance 0, 1, 2 points, respectively,...
We report the case of a newborn girl with antithrombin III deficiency type 1. The clinical features hypercoagulable condition that lead to this rare diagnosis differed from reports in literature, since primary thromboembolic incident resulted neonatal myocardial infarction, which is itself during first days life.
Human milk comprises large fat globules enveloped by a native phospholipid membrane, whereas infant formulas contain small, protein-coated lipid droplets. Previous experimental studies indicated that mimicking the architecture of human droplets in formula (IMF) alters metabolism with lasting beneficial impact on later metabolic health. To evaluate follow-up (FU) study randomized, controlled trial whether Concept IMF large, phospholipid-coated enriched dairy lipids beneficially impacts...
Worldwide, an obesity epidemic among children and adolescents is apparent. In the care of in adolescents, exercise therapy considered a cornerstone. Official position statements describe endorse need effect increased physical activity with obesity. Physical therapists working private home settings (first-line treatment) can play key role maximizing participation rates programs, thereby increasing community-scale clinical benefits activity. However, it remains unclear how such guidelines be...

Introduction:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been shown to be a major cause of upper gastrointestinal complaints, with different prevalences depending on the geographic region. Recently epidemiological studies have revealed relation between H. and gastric cancer. can found in both, “asymptomatic carriers” patients chronic recurrent abdominal complaints. The reasons for existence these two entities are not completely clear yet probably multifactorial etiology. It is likely that...
