Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of different feeding practices on infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in a neonatal intensive care unit over three years.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective review of 70 NAS infants, categorizing them based on feeding types: maternal breast milk, standard term formula, low lactose formula, and extensively hydrolyzed formula.
- Results showed that feeding choices were influenced by providers and that standard term formula-fed infants had shorter hospital stays and no need for medication, while those on extensively hydrolyzed formula had longer treatments despite all groups showing healthy growth.
This article examines nerves among participants in the Canada/Mexico Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (C/MSAWP). Based on in-depth interviews with 30 Mexican farm workers in southwestern Ontario, we demonstrate that nerves embodies the distress of economic need, relative powerlessness, and the contradictions inherent in the C/MSAWP that result in various life's lesions. We also explore their use of the nerves idiom as an embodied metaphor for their awareness of the breakdown in self/society relations and, in certain cases, of the lack of control over even themselves.
