Bovine colostrum (BC), the first milk secreted by mammals after birth, is a trending alternative source for supplementing infants and children, offering benefits for gut and immune health. Its rich components, such as proteins, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and glycans, are used to fortify diets and support development. Preterm development is crucial, especially in the maturation of essential systems, and from 2010 to 2020, approximately 15% of all premature births occurred at less than 32 weeks of gestation worldwide.

Role of Human Milk Microbiota in Infant Neurodevelopment: Mechanisms and Clinical Implications.

Children (Basel)

November 2024

Department of Neurosciences, Rehabilitation, Ophthalmology, Genetics, Maternal and Child Health, University of Genoa, 16126 Genoa, Italy.

Background: Human milk (HM) is recognized as an ideal source of nutrition for newborns; as a result, its multiple bioactive molecules can support the growth of healthy newborns and reduce the risk of mortality and diseases such as asthma, respiratory infections, diabetes (type 1 and 2), and gastrointestinal disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Furthermore, it can reduce the severity of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm infants. Moreover, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) present in breast milk show an immunomodulatory, prebiotic, and neurodevelopmental effect that supports the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

Using Vital Signs for the Early Prediction of Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Preterm Neonates with Machine Learning.

Children (Basel)

November 2024

Department of Neonatology, Beatrix Children's Hospital, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Hanzeplein 1, P.O. Box 30.001, 9700 RB Groningen, The Netherlands.

Background/objectives: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a devastating neonatal gastrointestinal disease mostly seen in preterm infants, lacks accurate prediction despite known risk factors. This hinders the possibility of applying targeted preventive therapies. This study explores the use of vital signs, including cerebral and splanchnic oxygenation, measured with near-infrared spectroscopy in early NEC prediction.

: Research on the roles of stem cells in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) has primarily focused on the effects of bone marrow- and amniotic fluid-derived stem cells in mitigating the clinical manifestations of the disease. However, the potential of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) remains unexplored in this context. The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic potential of ADSC administration during the active inflammatory phase of NEC, with a specific focus on reducing the levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1 and IL-6.

Importance: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) has proven to be a challenging and enduring complication of prematurity. However, its association with neurodevelopment across the spectrum of IVH severity, independent of prematurity, and in the context of contemporary care remains uncertain.

Objective: To evaluate national trends in IVH diagnosis and the association with survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes at 2 years of age.
