Objective: To evaluate the impact of probiotics and prebiotics on the health of children.
Sources: MEDLINE and LILACS were searched for relevant English and French-language articles.
Summary Of The Findings: Human milk is rich in prebiotic oligosaccharides and may contain some probiotics.
Objectives: The purpose of this work was to study the relation between maternal trimester of primary infection with cytomegalovirus and the occurrence of sensorineural hearing loss in the congenitally infected offspring.
Patients And Methods: Thirty-four consecutive live-born children diagnosed with a congenital cytomegalovirus infection after maternal primary cytomegalovirus infections were included in the study. Five were lost for follow-up, and 1 died.
Objective: To determine the incidence, characteristics, and evolution of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in infants with a congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV).
Study Design: In a prospective 10-year study, 14 021 unselected live-born infants were screened for cCMV by virus isolation in urine. Congenitally infected newborns were evaluated for SNHL during the first 5 years of life.
Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility of a serologic screening program in pregnant women to detect neonates at risk for a congenital cytomegalovirus infection.
Study Design: Unselected mother-infant pairs (n = 7140) were studied. In the mother, serologic screening consisted of the testing for cytomegalovirus antibodies at the first prenatal visit and at birth.
Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetics of two dosing regimens of cisapride and their effects on QT(c) interval.
Design: Thirty-one pre-term infants were enrolled in two neonatal intensive care units. In 16 infants, cisapride was started at 0.
