Objective: The use of oral dextrose gel (DG) reduces IV dextrose use. Prior studies used weight-based dosing (WD), though barriers exist, and are mitigated using standard dosing (SD). Our outcomes include IV dextrose use, NICU admissions, breastfeeding, adverse events, and assessment of WD vs SD.
Study Design: Retrospective chart review comparing pre-DG, WD, and SD in 16490 newborns (1329 hypoglycemic) ≥ 35 weeks admitted to the nursery over 3 years.
Results: There was reduction in IV dextrose use 10.9% vs 6.5% (p = 0.004) and NICU admissions 27.9% vs 16.1% (p < 0.001) associated with DG use, and increased rate of breastfed infants 33.8% vs 43.5% (p = 0.001), with no difference between WD and SD. No difference noted in adverse events across the study period.
Conclusions: DG utilization is associated with reduced IV dextrose use, NICU admissions, and improved breastfeeding rates without changes in adverse events. We offer SD as a safe alternative to WD.

Enzymes are attractive as catalysts due to their specificity and biocompatibility; however, their use in industrial and biomedical applications is limited by stability. Here, we present a facile approach for enzyme immobilization within "all-enzyme" hydrogels by forming photochemical covalent cross-links between the enzyme glucose oxidase. We demonstrate that the mechanical properties of the enzyme hydrogel can be tuned with enzyme concentration and the data suggests that the dimeric nature of glucose oxidase results in unusual gel formation behavior which suggests a degree of forced induced dimer dissociation and unfolding.

The actual ORR catalytic activity of perovskite materials is significantly lower than the theoretical value due to their inherently low specific surface area and significant segregation of inactive oxygen ions on the surface. This study reports a sol-gel synthesis approach that employs glucose as a structural regulator to fabricate LaSrMnO (LSM) perovskites. Compared with the original LSM (12.

The beneficial properties of probiotics have always been a point of interest. Probiotics play a major role in maintaining the health of Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT), a healthy digestive system is responsible for modulating all other functions of the body. The effectiveness of probiotics can be enhanced by formulating them with prebiotics the formulation thus formed is referred to as synbiotics.

Pleurotus ostreatus is a nutrient-dense edible fungus renowned for its delicate texture, appealing flavor, and numerous potential health benefits. Simultaneous extraction within the framework of food resource processing facilitates the concurrent isolation and analysis of multiple target compounds. In this study, an ethanol/salt aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was employed to extract polysaccharides (PS) and proteins from P.

Exposure to alcohol can induce different degrees of damage to various tissues and organs, and brain is the most vulnerable part affected by alcohol. However, there is no detailed report on whether intermittent alcohol exposure can result in pathological changes in the hypothalamus of adolescent rats and the detailed mechanism. This study investigated pathological changes in the hypothalamus, probed the levels of inflammatory factors, and detected the expression of proteins related to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) to determine whether ERS is involved in the injury process of the hypothalamus and the protective mechanism of L-3-n-butylphthalide (L-NBP).
