Diagnostic and clinical experience gained in the period from 1966--1977 is summarized. Cytomegalovirus was isolated from 35 sucklings and 5 infants aged more than 1 year as well as from necropsy materials from 10 sucklings. The most frequently involved were the respiratory tract (77.8%), liver (53.5%) and haematopoetic apparatus (42.2%). Congenital defects were found in 22.2%. The incidence in the population varied from 20% in sucklings to 50--60% in persons aged over 40 years. The incidence of infection was higher in sucklings and infants in nurseries. Out of 37 adult patients with kidney transplantation, the virus was isolated from 10 (27%) and complement-fixing antibodies were found in 34 (91%) patients.

Microbial transmission from mother to infant is important for offspring microbiome formation and health. However, it is unclear whether maternal gut inflammation (MGI) during lactation influences mother-to-infant microbial transmission and offspring microbiota and disease susceptibility. In this study, it is found that MGI during lactation altered the gut microbiota of suckling pups by shaping the maternal microbiota in the gut and mammary glands.

Objective: The objective of this review will be to synthesize the qualitative evidence on factors that influence direct breastfeeding of preterm infants in neonatal wards and the provision of breastfeeding support.
Introduction: Breastmilk is critical for the health of preterm neonates, and infants who directly feed at the breast are more likely to receive breastmilk exclusively for longer periods. Direct breastfeeding is associated with improved maternal coping and development of maternal identity.

Background: Lamotrigine, an antiseizure medication used for epilepsy and bipolar disorders, is often prescribed to women of childbearing age due to relatively low teratogenic risk. It is known that lamotrigine use in lactation leads to detectable concentrations in breast milk, although concentrations vary significantly among individuals.
Case Presentation: A 35-year-old pregnant woman with epilepsy presented to our outpatient clinic.

Background: Prematurity or low birth weight (LBW), poses a significant challenge in global health. Exploring appropriate and effective nutritional interventions is crucial for the growth and development of LBW infants. Hydrolyzed protein formula has been suggested as a potential solution to prevent intestinal dysfunction and improve digestion and absorption in infants.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is mainly caused by various of enteroviruses such as enterovirus 71 (EVA71), coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16), CVA6, and CVA10 in infants and children under 5 years old. During the past 5 years, CVA4 has become the dominant pathogen resulting in HFMD in China. However, there are no effective vaccines and antiviral drugs available.
