Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis—An Easy Tool for Quantifying Body Composition in Infancy?
There has been increasing interest in understanding body composition in early life and factors that may influence its evolution. While several technologies exist to measure body composition in infancy, the equipment is typically large, and thus not readily portable, is expensive, and requires a qualified operator. Bioelectrical impedance analysis s...
Altered Brain Structure in Infants with Turner Syndrome.
...Published in Cerebral cortex (New York, N.Y. : 1991)
Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder affecting approximately 1:2000 live-born females. It results from partial or complete X monosomy and is associated with a range of clinical issues including a unique cognitive profile and increased risk for certain behavioral problems. Structural neuroimaging studies in adolescents, adults, and older child...
Relationships between Neonatal Nutrition and Growth to 36 Weeks’ Corrected Age in ELBW Babies–Secondary Cohort Analysis ...
A key modifiable factor for improving neurodevelopment in extremely low birthweight (ELBW) babies may be improving growth, especially head growth, by optimising nutrition in the early neonatal period. We aimed to investigate relationships between nutrient intakes in the 4 weeks after birth, and growth from birth to 36 weeks&rsquo / corrected age (C...
Actions speak louder than words: Differences in memory flexibility between monolingual and bilingual 18-month-olds.
Published in Developmental science
Bilingual infants from 6- to 24-months of age are more likely to generalize, flexibly reproducing actions on novel objects significantly more often than age-matched monolingual infants are. In the current study, we examine whether the addition of novel verbal labels enhances memory generalization in a perceptually complex imitation task. We hypothe...
Randomised trial of estimating oral endotracheal tube insertion depth in newborns using suprasternal palpation of the ti...
Published in Archives of disease in childhood. Fetal and neonatal edition
Endotracheal tube (ETT) tip position is determined on chest X-ray (CXR) and should lie between the upper border of the first thoracic vertebra (T1) and the lower border of second thoracic vertebra (T2). Infant weight is commonly used to estimate how far the ETT should be inserted but frequently results in malpositioned ETT tips. Palpation of the ET...
The Cow’s Milk-Related Symptom Score (CoMiSSTM): Health Care Professional and Parent and Day-to-Day Variability
The Cow&rsquo / s Milk-related Symptom Score (CoMiSSTM) was created as an awareness tool for cow&rsquo / s milk allergy. The aim of the present study was to analyze the inter-rater variability between a pediatrician, parents, and day to day variability. A Health Care Professional (HCP) and parent filled in the CoMiSS independently and blinded for e...
Prevalence of Eye Problems among Young Infants of Rohingya Refugee Camps: Findings from a Cross-Sectional Survey
Early detection of pediatric eye problems can prevent future vision loss. This study was to estimate the prevalence of common eye problems among infants born in a resource-constrained emergency setting with a broader aim to prevent future vision loss or blindness among them through early detection and referral. We conducted a cross-sectional survey...
Association between probiotic supplementation and asthma incidence in infants: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled ...
Published in The Journal of asthma : official journal of the Association for the Care of Asthma
Objective: The increased social and economic burdens for asthma in infants make the prevention of asthma a major public health goal. Probiotics may reduce the risk of asthma in infants. However, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown mixed efficacy outcomes. We performed a meta-analysis of RCTs to investigate whether probiotics are associat...
Prenatal and Peripartum Exposure to Antibiotics and Cesarean Section Delivery Are Associated with Differences in Diversi...
...
The meconium microbiome may provide insight into intrauterine and peripartum exposures and the very earliest intestinal pioneering microbes. Prenatal antibiotics have been associated with later obesity in children, which is thought to be driven by microbiome dependent mechanisms. However, there is little data regarding associations of prenatal or p...
