Risk factors and epidemiology of spontaneous intestinal perforation among infants born at 22-24 weeks' gestational age.

Objective: To describe the epidemiology, risk factors, and timing of spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) among infants born at 22-24 weeks' gestational age (GA).

Study Design: Observational cohort study among infants born at 22-24 weeks' GA in 446 neonatal intensive care units.

Results: We identified 9712 infants, of whom 379 (3.

Influence of the Osteogenomic Profile in Response to Alendronate Therapy in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease. Genetic factors play an essential role in contributing to bone mineral density (BMD) variability, which ranges from 60 to 85%. Alendronate is used as the first line of pharmacological treatment for osteoporosis; however, some patients do not respond adequately to therapy with alendronate.

Characteristics of patients receiving nutrition care and its associations with prognosis in a tertiary hospital.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the medical nutritional therapy (MNT) of adult non-critically ill hospitalization patients.

Methods: In a retrospective study, adults hospitalized for more than 48 h in non-intensive care unit medical and surgical areas that were classified as being at nutritional risk were included. Malnutrition was defined according to Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria.

Bone mineral density and body composition in normal weight, overweight and obese children.

Background: There is a possibility that excess body fat affects bone mass gain and may compromise skeletal health in obese children. The purpose of the study was to identify the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in normal weight, overweight and obese children.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 6- to 11-year-old children who attended the hospital's outpatient clinic.

Spectral and network characterization of focal seizure types and phases.

Background And Objective: Currently, epileptic seizure characterization relies on several clinical features that allow their classification into different types. The present work aims to characterize both seizure types and phases based exclusively on electrophysiological characteristics.

Methods: Based on the analysis of intracranial EEG recordings of 129 seizures from 22 patients obtained from the European Epilepsy Database, network and spectral measures were calculated in five-second temporal windows.
