Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) in infancy is associated with intestinal microbial dysbiosis, characterised by low Bifidobacteriaceae levels. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of two human milk oligosaccharides (HMO), lactose (L), and their combination on the faecal microbiome and metabolome of infants with CMPA. Stool samples of 12 term infants with probable CMPA (mean age 4.

For iron, parenteral infusions are usually preferred over oral supplementation. Ferric carboxymaltose infusion has been associated with hypophosphataemia, mostly transient and asymptomatic.

Yet, due to their rarity and the associated testing costs, systematic screening for these mutations is not commonly pursued. Notably, the histopathological phenotype resulting from POLE mutations is theorized to resemble that of MSI.

The evolution of the structure of a single 350 nm NiFe nanoparticle, , its morphology (facets) as well as its deformation field, has been followed by applying multireflection Bragg coherent diffraction imaging. Through this approach, we unveiled a demixing process that occurs at high temperatures (600 °C) under an Ar atmosphere.
