Compositional and functional variability of the gut microbiome in children with infantile colic.

The inconsolable crying of a child for no apparent reason at an early age is a source of excitement and anxiety for parents. Previous studies have reported that crying may be caused by discomfort associated with the occupation of the intestines of the newborn by microbiota and its vital activity. We conducted a prospective observational study in which 62 newborns and their mothers were recruited.

[ROLE OF FECAL VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF BRONCHOPULMONARY DYSPLASIA].

The aim of the study was to analyze fecal volatile organic compounds in premature babies born with a weight of less than 1,500 grams in order to identify predictors of BPD. The study presents the results of the study in parallel groups, which are represented by premature babies born with a weight of less than 1500 grams. In the course of scientific work, 137 children were examined, from which stool samples were taken on the 14th and 28th days of life to detect VOCs using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
