Abstract:

Human milk not only has nutritional value, but also provides a wide range of biologically active molecules, which are adapted to meet the needs of newborns and infants. Mother’s milk is a source of sialylated oligosaccharides and glycans that are attached to proteins and lipids, whose concentrations and composition are unique. Sialylated human milk glycoconjugates and oligosaccharides enrich the newborn immature immune system and are crucial for their proper development and well-being. Some of the milk sialylated oligosaccharide structures can locally exert biologically active effects in the n

Abstract:

A late preterm infant is defined as one born between 34 and 36 6/7 weeks of completed gestation. The rate of late preterm births has risen 18 percent since the late 1990s. Data are beginning to emerge concerning morbidity rates and the risks these newborns face with regard to feeding difficulties, temperature instability, hypoglycemia, and hyperbilirubinemia. Feeding challenges place these vulnerable infants at risk for prolonged hospital stays and readmission after discharge. To better address the unique needs of late preterm infants, providers should establish individual feeding orders. This

Whenever a genetically defective infant is born, a triptych of interests is challenged directly. For such a case not only tests the extent of the natural rights of the parents in making decisions regarding the infant's capacity for qualitative life, but the personal needs or the welfare of the child itself and the nature of the responsibilities of the State in ensuring the welfare of its citizens regardless of age or infirmity.

Abstract:

The normal small volume of breast milk produced in the first 2 days following birth may raise concerns about adequate hydration in breast-fed newborns. These concerns are further magnified when breast-fed infants lose ≥7% of their birth weight within 2 days postnatally. Weight loss following birth is presumably mostly water loss that could result in hypohydration and subsequent hypernatremic dehydration. However, excess fluid loss immediately following birth is a normal and necessary process. Furthermore, newborns exposed to excess fluid intake during labor may need to lose ≥7% of birth weight

Abstract:

Infants have high caloric needs. Newborns will feed, on average, eight to 10 times per day and they depend exclusively on fluid intake to meet their caloric needs. Fluids represent the most commonly aspirated material. Understanding the high risk for aspiration due to proportion of liquid calories and the frequency with which the infant feeds, it is necessary for dysphagia professionals to understand the protective mechanisms available to the infant. The anatomic arrangement of the upper aerodigestive tract, resulting swallow physiology and laryngeal reflexes of the infant, optimally prepare t

Abstract:

Low birth weight (LBW), defined as a birth weight of <2,500 g, affects 16% of all newborns and is a risk factor for impaired neurodevelopment as well as adverse cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes, including hypertension. LBW infants include both term, small for gestational age infants and preterm infants. Most LBW infants have only marginally LBW (2,000-2,500 g). Recent advances in neonatal care have significantly improved the survival of very LBW (VLBW) infants (<1,500 g). LBW infants are at high risk of iron deficiency due to low iron stores at birth and higher iron requirements due

Intraoperative infusion in newborns and premature infants is a very important part of anesthesia, which affects the course and long-term results of the surgical treatment. The purpose of the infusion therapy in these children is to maintain normovolemia, adequate oxygen supply to tissues, normalization of the acid-base state, electrolyte balance and normoglycemia. In most cases, the maintenance of hemodynamics in newborns and premature infants requires the use of large amounts of crystalloid preparations, which in turn, due to their physical and chemical properties, lead to additional changes

Abstract This is updated information on acceptable practice in skin puncture and blood collection in infants, as well as on the devices used, with the additional aim of emphasizing major problem areas and some tentative solutions. Consensus standards for skin puncture have little experimental support, and evade the hard fact that studies are needed to clarify optimum sites for puncture and depth and width of lancets, and to assess the effects of compression and skin resistance in the puncturing process. Preliminary data revealed that the puncturing depth of 2.4 mm recommended for the newborn i

AbstractBackgroundThe association between long QT interval and sudden infant death syndrome has been clearly established. Several studies have been conducted to determine the evolution of the QT interval in childhood from birth, but only in full-term newborns. However, data on the QT interval in pre-term infants are extremely scarce. The objective was to describe the development of the QT interval in premature infants.Material and methodsIn a prospective monocentric study in a neonatal intensive care unit, pre-term newborns born before 37 weeks of gestation without congenital heart disease, fa

Abstract:

A balanced gastrointestinal microbiome is crucial for the development of the immune system. The use of antibiotic therapy in infants often leads to intestinal dysbiosis. This article presents a convincing argument that the use of antibiotics in infants and young children affects their health in the future. The purpose of antibiotic therapy in childhood should be well thought out, because its negative effect on the gastrointestinal tract the ability to cause diarrhoea, has been proven, and, in addition, antibiotics have long-term effects: overweight, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), allergic dis

Abstract Music therapy (MT) interventions and skin-to-skin care (SSC) both aim to address the varied needs of preterm infants, including sensory regulation and stress reduction, inclusion of parents in their infant’s care, support of parents’ emotional state, and enhancing the parent–infant attachment process. Few studies have investigated the combination of both modalities through randomized controlled trials. Evidence of longer-term effects is missing.

Background: Conventional low probe tone frequency tympanometry has not been successful in identifying middle ear effusion in newborn infants due to differences in the physiological properties of the middle ear in newborn infants and adults. With a rapid increase in newborn hearing screening programs, there is a need for a reliable test of middle ear function for the infant population. In recent years, new evidence has shown that tympanometry performed at higher probe tone frequencies may be more sensitive to middle ear disease than conventional low probe tone frequency in newborn infants.

Abstract:

As a child, the risk of suffering and dying from infection is higher the younger you are; and higher, the less developed a region you are born in. Childhood vaccination programmes have greatly reduced mortality around the world, but least so for the very young among the very poor of the world. This appears partly owing to suboptimal vaccine effectiveness. Unfortunately, although most vaccines are administered to the newborn and very young infant (less than or equal to two months), we know the least about their host response to vaccination. We thus currently lack the knowledge to guide efforts
