The EAT study was a randomized controlled trial that evaluated whether introducing common allergenic foods like peanut, egg, and milk earlier would prevent food allergies in breastfed infants compared to exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months. Over 1300 infants were randomly assigned at 3 months of age to either the early introduction group, which introduced the foods between 3-6 months, or the standard introduction group. The primary outcome was food allergy to one of the foods between 1-3 years of age. The intention-to-treat analysis found no significant difference in food allergy rates between the groups. However, per-protocol and consumption-based analyses raised the possibility that prevention may be dose-dependent.
Infant Feeding And Feeding Transitions During The First Year Of LifeBiblioteca Virtual
This document summarizes infant feeding patterns during the first year of life based on data from the Infant Feeding Practices Study II. Key findings include:
1) While 83% of infants were breastfed in the hospital, 42% of these infants also received formula supplementation. By 3 months, 61% of infants received formula.
2) Solid foods were introduced earlier than recommended, with 40% of infants consuming cereal and 17% consuming fruits/vegetables by 4 months of age.
3) Early introduction of solids was associated with discontinuing breastfeeding earlier and consuming more fatty/sugary foods by 12 months.
This study examined predictors of breastfeeding duration in Australia by following 587 women from hospital discharge through 52 weeks postpartum. The researchers found that less than half of infants were receiving any breast milk at 6 months, and only 12% were exclusively breastfed. By 12 months, only 19.2% received any breast milk. Factors positively associated with longer breastfeeding duration included higher maternal infant feeding attitudes and negatively associated factors included breastfeeding difficulties in the first 4 weeks, maternal smoking, early pacifier introduction, and early return to work. Relatively few women achieved international breastfeeding recommendations.
Comparison of prolonged low volume milk and routine volume milk onamir mohammad Armanian
This study compared outcomes for very low birth weight neonates who were fed using either a prolonged low volume milk strategy (20 mL/kg/day for 7 days before increasing) or a routine advancing volume strategy (increasing volumes by 20 mL/kg/day). The study found that the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis was significantly lower in infants fed with the prolonged low volume strategy compared to those fed with advancing volumes. However, infants fed with advancing volumes reached full enteral feeding volumes sooner. Overall hospital stay times and weight gain at 30 days were similar between the two groups. The study suggests prolonged low volume feeding may help reduce NEC risk in very low birth weight neonates.
This study analyzed data from over 15,000 infants in the UK Millennium Cohort Study to examine the relationship between breastfeeding and hospitalization for diarrhea and respiratory infections in the first 8 months of life. The results showed that exclusive breastfeeding, compared to no breastfeeding, was associated with a lower risk of hospitalization for both diarrhea and respiratory infections after adjusting for various confounding factors. Partial breastfeeding also showed a protective effect, but it was weaker than exclusive breastfeeding. The protective effects of breastfeeding decreased after breastfeeding cessation. The study suggests that increased rates of exclusive and prolonged breastfeeding could significantly reduce hospitalizations in the UK.

This study examined the relationship between hospital practices and mothers' ability to exclusively breastfeed according to their intentions. The researchers analyzed data from a national survey of over 1500 mothers who gave birth in 2005. They found that primiparas (first time mothers) reported a substantial gap between their intention to exclusively breastfeed (70%) and actually doing so at 1 week postpartum (50%). Primiparas reported hospital practices like supplementation (49%) and pacifier use (45%) that conflict with the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative's Ten Steps. Primiparas who delivered at hospitals implementing 6-7 of the Ten Steps were 6 times more likely to achieve their exclusive breastfeeding intention compared to those at hospitals implementing 0-
1) A new diagnostic test called A1Care has been developed to measure glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in cats and dogs with diabetes. This is the first affordable and easy-to-use test that provides a glucose average over the past 70-110 days for cats and dogs, respectively.
2) The test involves collecting a few drops of dried blood and mailing it to the company for analysis. Results are then emailed or available online within 3-5 business days.
3) Measuring HbA1c levels provides veterinarians a longer-term view of glucose management than traditional tests, allowing for better diabetes treatment and monitoring in pets.

Presented by Sadudee Boonmee, MD.
The document provides information on cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) including its epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures, and treatment. It notes that CMPA peaks in the first year of life with a prevalence of 2-3% in infants. The majority present with symptoms in the first 6 months. Clinical presentation can vary widely and involve different organ systems, making it difficult to differentiate between IgE and non-IgE mediated reactions. Diagnostic procedures discussed include skin prick tests, serum IgE tests, and oral food challenges.

Early total enteral feeding in stable preterm infants a systematic review and...dineshdharel13
In conclusion, it seems feasible and safe to start total enteral feeding in stable VLBW infants born with birth weight greater than 1000–1200g. This approach can reduce the need of intravenous fluid or PN and its adverse consequences as well as decrease the length of hospital stay for these infants. A larger randomized trial is needed to ensure ETEF is not associated with increased risk of NEC in stable preterm infants with birth weight greater than 1000g and gestational age greater than 28 weeks. Furthermore, there is a need to explore whether ETEF regimen is feasible in extremely low birth weight infants.

This document discusses two clinical cases involving infants with feeding difficulties. The first case involves a 1-month-old male infant with watery diarrhea since birth that did not improve with a cow's milk protein partial hydrolysate formula. The second case involves a 1-month-old female infant admitted with watery diarrhea who was rotavirus positive and had recurrent diarrhea after being discharged. The document provides background on types of lactase deficiency, diagnostic approaches, and discusses potential diagnoses and treatments for the cases, including lactose intolerance, cow's milk protein allergy, and congenital diarrhea. It emphasizes using an evidence-based approach to evaluate the cases.
What is new in general pediatrics, allergic and respiratory diseasesEnvicon Medical Srl
The document discusses several studies related to general pediatrics, allergic and respiratory diseases from 2017.
One study found that early-term deliveries between 37-38 weeks gestation were associated with increased risk of long-term respiratory morbidity compared to full-term deliveries between 39-40 weeks. Another study showed that preschoolers with bedtimes before 8pm had a lower risk of adolescent obesity than those with later bedtimes. A third study found that high school start times later than 8:30am were associated with improved attendance and graduation rates.
1) The study examined the effect of probiotics in preventing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm neonates compared to a control group.
2) 115 preterm infants weighing 750-1500g or less than 32 weeks gestation received probiotics or did not (control). The probiotic group had significantly lower incidence of NEC and fewer cases of elevated C-reactive protein.
3) However, there were no significant differences between the groups in duration of oxygen therapy, total parenteral nutrition, time to full feeding, or length of hospital stay. The study results suggest probiotics have a protective effect against NEC in preterm infants.
This study examined the relationship between infant temperament and formula intake and weight gain in 3-month-old infants in the Philippines. The researchers administered the Carey Early Infant Temperament Questionnaire to mothers of 222 healthy formula-fed infants enrolled in a randomized controlled trial of infant formulas. Multivariate regression models controlling for confounders found inverse relationships between several temperament traits (adaptability, mood, distractibility, manageability) and both the frequency and total daily intake of formula. This suggests that infants with more difficult temperaments received more formula feeds and intake, which could lead to excessive weight gain. The study was the first to demonstrate an association between infant temperament and feeding practices.
Can we prevent allergies in children 2019 khaled saadKhaled Saad
Allergies are increasing worldwide, especially in developed countries. Food allergies are becoming most common in infants and children. There are some things that can be done to potentially reduce allergy risk in high-risk infants. Exclusive breastfeeding for at least 4 months and introducing complementary foods between 4-6 months may help reduce risks. For high-risk infants who are formula-fed, a hydrolyzed formula is recommended. Introduction of highly allergenic foods should be done gradually under medical supervision for high-risk infants. While prevention efforts show some promise, more research is still needed.
This randomized controlled trial tested the efficacy of the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri in treating infantile colic in breastfed infants aged 2-16 weeks. It found that L. reuteri significantly reduced average daily crying time and increased the number of responders compared to placebo. Mechanisms may involve improving gut microbiota balance by reducing Escherichia coli and increasing Lactobacillus levels. The probiotic was well-tolerated with no significant differences in adverse events between groups. This study provides evidence that L. reuteri is an effective and safe treatment for infantile colic.
This document is a manuscript describing a study on the effects of maternal consumption of polyphenol-rich foods on fetal ductus arteriosus constriction in pregnant sheep. The study found that 2 weeks of polyphenol supplementation in pregnant sheep resulted in ductus arteriosus constriction in fetuses, accompanied by increased polyphenol excretion and decreased inflammatory markers in the mothers. It also observed changes in oxidative stress biomarkers in the mothers, despite some markers of oxidative damage being lower after supplementation. The results suggest that high maternal polyphenol intake can induce fetal ductal constriction through anti-inflammatory effects, and oxidative stress may be involved.
This document discusses the prevalence of food allergies in Southeast Asia based on a presentation by Dr. BW Lee from the National University of Singapore. It provides data on the prevalence of various food allergies like peanut allergy from studies in countries in the region. It notes that food allergy patterns may be related to environmental allergens through cross-reactivity. It also presents several case studies of allergic reactions triggered by novel allergens like prebiotics in cow's milk formula and discusses mechanisms of carbohydrate allergen epitopes.

This study examined the relationship between breastfeeding intensity, bottle emptying behaviors, and risk of excess weight in infants. The study found:
1) Infants who were breastfed at low (20% of milk feeds) or medium (20-80% of milk feeds) intensities in early infancy were over twice as likely to have excess weight in late infancy compared to infants breastfed at high (80% of milk feeds) intensities.
2) Infants who often emptied bottles in early infancy were 69% more likely to have excess weight in late infancy than infants who rarely emptied bottles.
3) Mothers' encouragement of bottle emptying was negatively associated with infants' risk of
This study developed and validated a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to assess intake of polyphenol-rich foods in pregnant women in Brazil. 120 pregnant women participated in nutritional interviews on two occasions and provided urine samples. The FFQ included 52 foods and was compared to 24-hour recalls, 3-day food diaries, and urinary polyphenol levels. Analysis showed high reproducibility between the two FFQ administrations. Moderate to high correlations were found between the dietary assessment methods. A low but significant correlation was observed between the FFQ and urinary polyphenol levels. The study concluded that the FFQ is a valid tool for quantifying intake of total polyphenols in pregnant women.

In this study, we focused on the effect of β-glucan supplementation of children with chronic respiratory problems. We measured the levels of cortisol, salivary IgE and cotinine in 56 children and evaluated the effect of 30 day supplementation with 100 mg/day oral dose of yeast-derived β-glucan. Our results showed strong decrease of cotinine and cortisol levels in saliva of β-glucan-supplemented children. The increase of total salivary IgE levels in both groups was not statistically significant. The positive effects of complex curative treatment using β-glucan were accompanied by increased physical endurance and by significant reduction of negative clinical problems of affected children.

1) A study of 651 children with pollen-related allergic rhinitis found that component-resolved diagnosis identified a lack of IgE antibodies to major allergens in a significant percentage of patients with skin prick test reactivity, calling into question the appropriateness of immunotherapy for some patients.
2) Without component-resolved diagnosis, immunotherapy would have been prescribed inappropriately in 37% of cases based on skin prick test alone.
3) Component-resolved diagnosis led European and American allergists to change their immunotherapy prescription decisions in 42-48% of cases compared to skin prick testing alone.
This study examined caesarean section (CS) rates in women with gestational diabetes (GDM) using the Robson criteria for classification. The study found that the overall CS rate was 32.5% for women with GDM, compared to 19.6% for the general population. Nulliparous women with GDM undergoing induction of labor had the highest CS rates, at 63% for nulliparous women and 20% for multiparous women. The majority (71%) of women with a previous CS delivered by repeat CS. The results support thoughtful induction of labor in GDM patients and counseling women on possible outcomes of induction.
1) The study tested the hypothesis that maternal ingestion of green tea in late pregnancy causes fetal ductal constriction by inhibiting prostaglandins. 2) Echocardiography of fetal lambs exposed to green tea in utero showed signs of ductal constriction compared to controls. 3) Autopsies found dilated and hypertrophic right ventricles in lambs exposed to green tea, and histological analysis found thicker ductal walls in these lambs.
POSTER Influence of breastfeeding on infant allergy developmentAnya Guy
This document discusses the influence of breastfeeding on infant allergy development. It finds that exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months and any breastfeeding for 1 year is most beneficial for decreasing food allergy risk. Components in breast milk like food antigens, antimicrobial peptides, and cytokines provide immunoprotective effects that help infants digest potentially allergenic foods. The duration of breastfeeding is correlated with decreased infant allergy development.

Diet intake trends among pregnant women in rural area of rawalpindi, pakistanZubia Qureshi
Background: Adequate and healthy diet during pregnancy is essential for the health of both mother and new-born. This study was designed to know the health status of pregnant women and new-born by determining food taking habits of pregnant women. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on pregnant women of 2nd and 3rd trimester in a rural area of district Rawalpindi. Food frequency questionnaire and 24 hours dietary recall methods were used to identify their food consumption practices. Analysis was done by SPSS, while Nutrisurvey software was used to check the presence of Vitamin A, C, and Iron in specific fruits or vegetables. Results: A total of 110 pregnant women participated in the study. Most of them were illiterate, had low household income, and unemployed. Intake of meal frequency was according to the standards of Institute of Medicine (IOM), but food group consumption was not according to the recommendations of the United State Department of Agriculture (USDA). Most participants 102 (93.2%) knew that food is important during pregnancy. However an increase in frequency intake was observed in 63 (57.3%); while, 19 (17.3%) reported no change in food intake practices. About 67 (61%) were taking some sort of dietary supplements. Avoidance of any food 24 (22%), intake of additional food 51 (46%), craving 86 (78%), and aversion to any sort of food 42 (38%) was also identified in the study sample. No significant association was found between food group consumption, food availability and accessibility. Dietary diversity score, calculated according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) guidelines, indicated that about half study participants were not consuming adequate food. Conclusion: Study results show that food intake practices of pregnant women in the study area were not satisfactory. The results suggest that pregnant women need nutrition counselling regarding food intake practices during pregnancy.

Evidence the use of probiotics in infants for prevention of allergic diseaseAriyanto Harsono
This document summarizes a review of evidence on using probiotics in infants to prevent allergic disease and food hypersensitivity. The review found insufficient evidence that probiotics reduce the risk of allergic disease or food hypersensitivity in infants. While probiotic use was associated with a reduction in infant eczema in some studies, the effect was inconsistent between studies and all studies had substantial losses to follow up, indicating caution is needed in interpreting the results due to methodological limitations. In conclusion, the review found the evidence is currently insufficient to recommend adding probiotics to infant feeds to prevent allergic conditions.
This document summarizes an article from the Winter 2013 issue of SCAN's Pulse about working with patients who have dietary restrictions related to food allergies in the treatment of eating disorders. The summary includes:
1) It is important for dietitians treating eating disorders to understand the difference between true food allergies diagnosed by validated tests and perceived or self-reported food intolerances in order to avoid exacerbating disordered eating behaviors.
2) Common validated diagnostic tests for food allergies include skin prick tests, radioallergosorbent tests, and double-blind placebo-controlled food challenges, while alternative tests lack scientific evidence.
3) Patients with eating disorders may perceive food
Adverse reactions to foods can be divided into food intolerances, which cause non-immunological responses, and food hypersensitivities, which involve immunological responses and allergies. Food intolerances are caused by factors like enzyme deficiencies or contaminants, while food hypersensitivities can be IgE-mediated, cell-mediated, or mixed. Common symptoms affect the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory system. Gastrointestinal food allergies often first present in infants as irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, or poor weight gain.
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of high-dose docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation on neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants. The study found that:
1) Overall, high-DHA supplementation did not significantly improve Bayley Mental Development Index (MDI) scores at 18 months corrected age compared to standard DHA supplementation.
2) However, girls who received high-DHA supplementation had significantly higher MDI scores than girls who received standard supplementation.
3) Infants born weighing less than 1250g who received high-DHA supplementation tended to have higher MDI scores, but the difference was not statistically significant after adjustment for confounders.
This document provides an overview of peanut allergy, including its prevalence, genetics, environmental risk factors, allergens, effects of processing, clinical manifestations, environmental exposure, diagnosis, cross-reactivity, natural history, treatment, and prevention. Some key points include:
- Peanut allergy prevalence is approximately 2% in US children and 1.8% in US adults. Rates are highest in English-speaking countries.
- Genetics play a strong role, with 64% concordance in identical twins. Several loci have been identified that increase risk.
- Major allergens include Ara h 1, Ara h 2, Ara h 3, and Ara h 6, which are resistant to heat and digestion
The presentation is regarding treatment and is not a study; it is a collection of observations made during the treatment of patients. The presentation covers food allergy management strategies, psychological and social impact of food allergy, risk management, food allergen desensitization treatment, and OIT treatment findings.

POSTER Influence of breastfeeding on infant allergy development (1)Marissa Uhlhorn
This document discusses the influence of breastfeeding on infant allergy development. It finds that exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months reduces the risk of food allergies, as components in breast milk like antibodies and cytokines provide immunoprotection. The duration of breastfeeding is positively correlated with decreased allergy development, up to at least 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding and 1 year of any breastfeeding. Maternal diet and nutrition, family history, and environmental factors can also impact the protective effects received through breastfeeding.
This document discusses the use of probiotics in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to help prevent diseases like necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). It provides background on the development of the infant gut microbiome and how probiotics may benefit preterm infants by competing with pathogens, producing antimicrobial substances, and modulating the immune system. Several studies cited found probiotic supplementation significantly reduced the risk of NEC and mortality in very low birth weight infants. Meta-analyses support the routine use of probiotics in the NICU.
This study examined the long-term relationship between breastfeeding and asthma/atopy in a New Zealand birth cohort of over 1,000 children followed up to age 26. The study found that breastfeeding for over 4 weeks doubled the risk of diagnosed asthma in childhood and these effects persisted into adulthood. Additionally, breastfeeding for over 13 weeks increased the likelihood of skin test response to allergens. However, the study had limitations such as unclear definitions of breastfeeding and potential recall and selection biases. Overall, the study did not support the idea that breastfeeding protects against asthma or atopy.

As food allergies proliferate, new strategies may help patients ingest their way to tolerance.
Considering that food is full of foreign proteins, it makes sense that the intestine is the immune system's version of Grand Central station. It's the largest organ to regularly sweep up and annihilate molecules that don't belong. And because food comes from outside, it's no surprise that some people have allergies to it. The bigger mystery is why most don't. Somehow during evolution, the immune system and food components developed a secret handshake that allows munchables to pass without a fuss.
Most of the time, that is. Once relatively rare, serious allergies to peanuts, milk, shellfish and other foods appear to be afflicting a growing number of children. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that food allergies now affect about 4 percent of American children, almost 20 percent more than a decade ago. Scientists have ideas to explain the increase—from children raised with too few germs exercising their immune cells to modern food processing that alters natural proteins and adds nonfood substances never before consumed in large amounts. Some studies implicate the use of certain vitamins and even childhood obesity.
Despite the growing problem, doctors have had little to offer beyond advising patients to avoid allergic triggers. Recently, though, studies have raised hope that new approaches might one day treat food allergies and perhaps even prevent the next generation from developing them. “I think we're all encouraged that progress has happened relatively quickly,” says Robert Wood of Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. Nonetheless, he cautions, a true, effective therapy is still years away.
If nothing else, the experiments have shown for the first time that curing food allergies is at least possible, even if the long-term prospects aren't clear. Some children who began studies with immune reactions to even the smallest trace of peanut can now eat up to 13 nuts in one sitting. Similar dramatic gains have been seen for milk and egg allergies. Only a few children have been involved in each study so far, but researchers are cautiously increasing the number of enrollees and are emboldened to try other, more innovative methods.
“It's the beginning,” says Andrew Saxon of UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. In a field with a history of false starts and disappointment, he says, “it's the real beginning this time.”
New Strategies
Oral Tolerance
Eating tiny amounts of peanut protein can gradually retrain the immune system to tolerate allergens by avoiding the IgE antibody-mediated response.
Vaccines
Hiding a peanut protein in a bacterial cell or injecting a gene-based vaccine may help patients tolerate peanuts by avoiding IgE-activated response.
Tapping Parasites
Scientists are harnessing proteins from helminth parasites that block the activity of mast cells and other immune players ...
The document provides information about cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA), including:
- CMPA is a common food allergy in infants and young children under 3 years old.
- It can present with nonspecific symptoms that are difficult to distinguish from other conditions like GERD.
- The majority (over 95%) of cases present in the first year of life, with most in the first 6 months.
- Presentation can involve different organ systems like skin, GI, and respiratory. IgE-mediated reactions are immediate while non-IgE reactions are delayed.
- Common GI symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, poor feeding, and rectal bleeding. Failure to thrive can

Gastrointestinal bleeding emerg med clin n am 2016cesar gaytan
This document discusses gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), which leads to nearly 1 million hospitalizations annually in the US. It covers the epidemiology, risk factors, risk stratification, diagnostic modalities, and management of GIB. Upper GIB and lower GIB have different etiologies and treatments. Risk stratification is important to determine if patients require aggressive resuscitation or can be safely discharged. Comorbidities are a strong determinant of prognosis, as most GIB-related deaths are due to end-organ injury rather than blood loss.
This document provides a critical evaluation of laboratory tests used in the diagnosis and assessment of acute pancreatitis. It discusses the advantages and limitations of commonly used tests like serum amylase and lipase. While amylase remains an important initial test due to its availability and sensitivity, it lacks specificity. Lipase has greater sensitivity in alcoholic pancreatitis and late presentations, but can also be nonspecifically elevated. No single test can accurately diagnose, assess severity, or determine the etiology of acute pancreatitis. Multiple tests and factors like time of testing must be considered.

This document summarizes the life and illness of Vincent van Gogh based on previous studies. It describes his unstable moods and recurrent psychotic episodes in the last two years of his life. Van Gogh experienced two distinct episodes of depression earlier in life, followed by periods of high energy. While in Arles, France, his illness evolved and reached a psychotic dimension by the end of 1888, involving mood shifts, anxiety, and exhaustion. He was hospitalized after cutting off part of his earlobe and attacking his friend Paul Gauguin. His illness involved recurrent psychotic episodes, often precipitated by absinthe use, and he was ultimately diagnosed with epilepsy. He lived out his final year in an asylum at Saint
This article discusses the diagnosis and treatment of Asperger's syndrome using the case of a 15-year-old male patient, Marc. It reviews the history and diagnostic criteria of Asperger's, compares it to high-functioning autism, examines comorbid conditions, and discusses evidence-based assessment and treatment recommendations. The key recommendations are for early diagnosis and intervention focusing on enhancing social skills through individualized education programs tapping into special interests.
This document provides a concise history of Asperger Syndrome, beginning with its origins and descriptions by Hans Asperger and Leo Kanner in the 1940s. It discusses how Asperger Syndrome was included as a diagnosis in the DSM-IV in 1994 but faced significant controversies regarding its diagnostic criteria and differentiation from autism. Specifically, the precedence given to an autism diagnosis and difficulties defining language and cognitive criteria meant that AS was nearly indistinguishable from high-functioning autism. This led the DSM-5 to remove AS as a separate diagnosis and merge it into the single category of Autism Spectrum Disorder. The document examines the debates around whether AS qualitatively differed from autism or was simply a
