Article Synopsis
- - The neonatal microbiome develops significantly during the perinatal period, influenced by factors like delivery method, maternal diet, and antibiotic exposure, which affect the infant's long-term health.
- - This microbiome is crucial for the development of the immune system, metabolism, and neurodevelopment in infants, highlighting its long-term health implications.
- - Recent interventions, such as probiotic and prebiotic supplementation and maternal vaginal seeding, show promise for optimizing microbiome development and potentially reducing the risk of chronic health conditions later in life.
Article Synopsis
- - Feeding difficulties are a common issue for patients with Crisponi/cold-induced sweating syndrome type 1 (CS/CISS1), observed from birth to adulthood in a study of 14 patients in Rome.
- - All participants required enteral feeding at birth, with solid food introduction delayed for 43% until after 18 months, and mealtime challenges included fatigue while chewing, food spillage, and drooling.
- - The findings enhance the understanding of CS/CISS1, aiding in better management and prevention of complications in patients with this ultra-rare disease.
G6PD deficiency results from mutations in the X-linked G6PD gene. More than 200 variants are associated with enzyme deficiency: each one of them may either cause predisposition to haemolytic anaemia triggered by exogenous agents (class B variants), or may cause a chronic haemolytic disorder (class A variants). Genotype-phenotype correlations are subtle.

REE was calculated using indirect calorimetry. Patients' metabolic status was assessed by comparing measured REE (mREE) with predictive REE (pREE).

- * The study looked at five kids who had different types of these malformations on their heads and necks, and doctors worked together to find the best ways to help them.
- * While it’s tough to completely fix these issues, sending kids to special care centers can really help improve their lives and make things easier for their families.
