Objective: To analyze the scientific literature on dietary changes in preterm children during the first years of life.
Data Source: The PubMed database was used for article selection. The texts were analyzed according to their objectives, research design, and research group characteristics. The following were selected to comprise the criteria: (1) publications in the period from 1996 to 2014; (2) participation of infants and children from birth to 10 years of age; (3) development of oral motor skills necessary for feeding; (4) development of the feeding process; and (5) feeding difficulties during childhood.
Summary Of The Findings: There were 282 studies identified, of which 17 were used in the review, and five more articles were identified through the reference list of selected articles, totaling 22 references.
Conclusion: Very low birth weight preterm newborns are more likely to have feeding problems in early postnatal stages and during childhood when compared with full-term infants. Monitoring the feeding of these infants after hospital discharge is strictly recommended in an early intervention program aiming at better development of feeding skills.

Background: Anaemia is a major cause of morbidity among children under five years in Uganda. However, its magnitude among refugee populations is marginally documented. In this study, the prevalence and contributors to anaemia among children 6 to 59 months in Kyangwali refugee settlement in Western Uganda was determined.

Plasmodium, the causative agents of malaria, are obtained by mosquitoes from an infected human. Following Plasmodium acquisition by Anopheles gambiae, mosquito gamma-interferon-inducible lysosomal thiol reductase (mosGILT) plays a critical role in its subsequent sporogony in the mosquito. A critical location for this development is the midgut, a tissue we show expresses mosGILT.

Caregivers' feeding practices shape their child's eating patterns and subsequent health. Research shows that sensitive feeding is linked to healthy development and self-regulation but depends on caregiver responsiveness to infant needs and appetite cues. Responsive feeding (RF) is influenced both by characteristics of the caregiver and expressiveness of the infant.

Lipophagy is a way to degrade lipids; however, the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Using the holometabolous lepidopteran insect Helicoverpa armigera, cotton bollworm, as a model, we revealed that the larval fat body undergoes lipophagy during metamorphosis, and lipophagy is essential for metamorphosis. The steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) induced lipophagy by promoting the expression of the peptide hormone adipokinetic hormone (AKH, the insect analog of glucagon) and the adipokinetic hormone receptor (AKHR).

Article Synopsis
- Human milk (HBM) and bovine milk (PBM) are both sources of nutrition that involve lactose, which can be fermented by the bacteria Streptococcus mutans, potentially affecting dental health.
- This study compares how S. mutans forms biofilms, produces acid, and buffers in HBM, plain and sweetened PBM, and infant formula (IF) through various microbiological assays.
- Results indicated that sweetened bovine milk had the highest biofilm formation and lowest pH, while both HBM and PBM showed low cariogenicity, differing from the effects of sucrose.
