Comparative Growth Outcomes in Preterm Infants Fed Either Mother's Own Milk or Donor Human Milk.

To compare growth velocity (GV) in preterm infants fed mother's own milk (MOM) fortified with human milk-based fortifier (HMBF) to those who received donor human milk (DHM) fortified with HMBF. A retrospective study of preterm infants with birth weight <1,250 g receiving an exclusive human milk diet. Maternal and infant charts were reviewed for feeding, growth, and short-term neonatal morbidities.

Breast milk vs 24% sucrose for procedural pain relief in preterm neonates: a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To compare the pain scores between the two groups, breast milk (BM) and 24% sucrose, in preterm neonates undergoing automated heel lance for the blood draw.

Methods: The study is designed as a randomized, single-blinded, non-inferiority trial. Infants born between 30 1/7weeks and 36 6/7 weeks of gestation were randomly assigned to receive either 24% sucrose or expressed BM.

Can urinary nitrites or other urinalysis findings be a predictor of bacterial resistance of uncomplicated urinary tract infections?

Background And Objectives: To evaluate whether initial urinalysis (UA) and urinary nitrite results can be used as a proxy for choosing empiric antibiotic therapy.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in an urban inner city community hospital in New York City (NYU Woodhull Medical Center). We reviewed the charts of patients seen in the Emergency Department and Pediatric Clinic who had a diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) during a 3 year time period (January 2010-December 2012).

Evolution of the NBOMes: 25C- and 25B- Sold as 25I-NBOMe.

Introduction: The NBOMes (N-benzyl-oxy-methyl derivatives of known 2C phenylethylamines) are a new and growing class of potent synthetic stimulants. Case reports provide the bulk of available safety and clinical data for clinicians. We report two cases of NBOMe intoxication with 25C-NBOMe (the first lab-confirmed US case) and 25B-NBOMe, respectively, both confirmed via triple quadrapole mass spectrometry.
