Objectives: Neonates undergoing cardiac surgery are at risk for oral aversion (OA). OA is not well described outside of the index hospitalization and impacts patients and families. We evaluated the prevalence of OA at 1 year old after neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Single quaternary care hospital.
Subjects: Our cohort included 157 neonates who underwent CPB surgery from 2014 to 2017 and had follow-up data available at 1 year old.
Interventions: None.
Measurements And Main Results: Three feeding experts reviewed the medical record to define children with OA; 30% of charts were evaluated in triplicate for validation. Neonates with and without OA were compared in univariate analysis, and risk factors for OA were explored in a limited multivariable analysis. OA was present at 1 year in 37 patients (23.6%) and other feeding difficulties were present in an additional 29 patients (18.5%). Thirty-eight patients (24.2%) had a feeding tube, including 12 (7.6%) with a gastrostomy tube. Factors associated with OA at 1 year included total ICU days, duration of mechanical ventilation, total number of nil per os days, and number of postoperative days (PODs) until oral feeding initiation (all p < 0.0001). Number of POD until oral feeding initiation remained independently associated with OA at 1 year in multivariable analysis (adjusted odds ratio, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.04-1.12; p < 0.0001). Infants with any oral intake at discharge had lower odds of OA at 1 year (0.21; 95% CI, 0.08-0.5; p = 0.0003). At hospital discharge, 132 patients (84.1%) were taking some oral feeds, and 128 patients (81.5%) received tube feeding.
Conclusions: OA and other feeding difficulties are common at 1 year old in neonates undergoing CPB surgery. Delayed exposure to oral intake may be a modifiable risk factor for OA and efforts to improve early oral feeding could lead to better functional outcomes.

Does gene polymorphism affect the duration of orogastric tube use in moderate to late preterm neonates? A cross-sectional study in Indonesia.

Premature and low birth weight neonates often struggle with oral intake due to immaturity or respiratory distress. Forkhead box protein 2 gene () is predicted to influence oral feeding ability in newborns, but studies assessing the role of this gene in influencing oral feeding ability are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of gene polymorphism, particularly single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs17137124, on the duration of orogastric tube (OGT) use in moderate to late preterm neonates.

Background: Some adults with intellectual disabilities do not acquire oral feeding skills and are dependent on gastrostomy tube supplementation.
Methods: Two adults with intellectual and multiple disabilities received intervention for oral consumption during daily meals (standardised food and liquid quantities, individualised procedural guidelines, and consumption-contingent consequences) while the frequency and amount of gastrostomy tube feedings were gradually decreased and eliminated.
Results: Compared to baseline (pre-intervention) conditions, the adults increased oral consumption of food and liquid during the intervention and gastrostomy tube supplementation was eliminated.

Background: Parents of children born with cleft lip/palate encounter numerous challenges. This study aims to provide a deeper understanding for authorities to better support these parents by exploring the views and experiences of Iranian parents raising babies with cleft lip/palate through qualitative research.
Methods: This qualitative study collected data through face-to-face, in-depth, semi-structured interviews.

Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the 3-dimensional morphology of larger recurved caniniform teeth (LrCTs) and their underlying intraosseous structures in Caprodon schlegelii.
Methods: Specimens (n = 5) with a total length of approximately 32 cm were fixed and processed for micro-computed tomography and/or stereomicroscopy. Volume data of the LrCT-bearing jaws were examined using volume rendering images.

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mediated RNA interference (RNAi) is a tool in functional gene study and pest control. However, RNAi efficiency in Lepidoptera is low compared to the RNAi sensitive Coleoptera. Previous studies on RNAi in the silkworm Bombyx mori, the lepidopteran model insect, were performed by injection only.
