We found a level of 20.8 +/- 3.4 mug/dl of vitamin K1 (VK1) in Intralipid 20% and initiated a study based on the follow-up of children receiving total parenteral nutrition without any other exogenous VK1 intake than from Intralipid 20% (1 g/kg/day). This lipid administration was sufficient to cover the needs during a study period of 4 to 29 weeks.

We describe the utility of 'folic and folinic acid load tests' in the investigation of a 26-year-old woman with persistently low serum folate and moderate hyperhomocysteinaemia unresponsive to folic acid supplements. Serum folate, plasma 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), red cell 5-MTHF and plasma total homocysteine at baseline, 2-h, 4-h and 2- or 4-days (if applicable) post administration of a large dose of oral folic acid, or oral or parenteral folinic acid were measured. The tests confirmed non-compliance but also suggested an unsuspected possible defect in the folate pathway based on differential response to folic versus folinic acid supplements.

Purpose: To explore the current state of diagnosis and management of neonatal conjunctivitis.
Methods: Cosmos, an EHR-based, de-identified data set including more than 200 million patients, was used for this study. Neonates born between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2022, discharged from the hospital by day 3 of life, and with an ambulatory visit within the first 4 weeks of life associated with a new diagnosis of neonatal conjunctivitis (SNOMED) or conjunctivitis (ICD-10 H10.
Introduction: For preterm infants, the first two weeks after birth are a time when nutrition and protein intake is variable and often falls below recommended intakes. Our objective was to investigate the relationship between protein intake, including source of protein, during the first two weeks after birth and fat-free mass (FFM) accretion in a group of very preterm infants.
Methods: In this observational cohort study, body composition was assessed using air displacement plethysmography in eligible infants <32 weeks gestational age at two weeks after birth and prior to discharge.

Article Synopsis
- Autoimmune enteritis (AIE) is a rare and severe condition that mainly leads to persistent diarrhea and malnutrition, often diagnosed in infants but can occur in adults.
- A male patient in his 60s with a history of psoriasis developed intractable diarrhea despite various treatments and ultimately required total parenteral nutrition.
- After biopsies confirmed AIE, he was treated with prednisone, budesonide, and adalimumab, leading to significant improvement and normalization of his bowel habits.
