Secretion of Immunoglobulin A (sIgA) and lactoferrin is a nutrient content in breast milk that can increase immunity in preventing infectious diseases such as Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI). This research aims to determine the role of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) on sIgA and Lactoferrin levels in toddlers suffering from ARI. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 124 toddlers under five from January-July 2021. Toddlers were selected using a purposive technique sampling from three Community Health Centers in Central Jakarta. Data were analyzed using -test and ANOVA. The history of immunization, EBF, and frequency of ARI was significantly associated with levels of sIgA and lactoferrin. Parity only correlated with sIgA but not with lactoferrin levels. Maternal and toddlers' age, gender, and nutritional status were not significantly related to sIgA and lactoferrin levels. There is a significant (p-value <0.001) difference in the mean protein sIgA and lactoferrin levels in toddlers who were given EBF with ARI frequency <2 times and toddlers who were given EBF with ARI frequency ≥2 times. Toddlers who were exclusively breastfed with ARI frequency <2 times had higher levels of sIgA and lactoferrin (188901.77 pg/ml and 262.32 ng/ml, respectively) compared to infants given EBF with ARI frequency ≥2 times (136683.47 pg/ml and 181.49 ng/ml, respectively). History of immunization was also significantly (p-value <0.05) associated with levels of sIgA and lactoferrin in infants with ARI. The content of sIgA and lactoferrin in breast milk and immunization can increase the body's immune system in toddlers suffering from ARI.

Background: Subclinical mastitis is an asymptomatic inflammatory condition of the lactating mammary glands possibly associated with premature interruption of breastfeeding and poor weight gain in infants. However, data on human milk composition in mothers with subclinical mastitis are limited and inconsistent. Although human milk from donors with subclinical mastitis may be used after pasteurization if it meets the criteria, whether the composition is suitable for donor human milk remains unknown.

The immature gastrointestinal tract of preterm neonates leads to a delayed and distinctive establishment of the gut microbiome, making them susceptible to potentially pathogenic bacteria and increasing the risk of infections. Maternal milk, recognized as the optimal source of nutrition, plays a multifaceted role in modulating the gut microbiome of premature newborns. Human milk oligosaccharides, acting as prebiotics, provide essential nourishment for key bacteria such as Bifidobacterium, contributing to the proliferation of beneficial bacterial populations.

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) infections result in significant economic losses and reduced animal welfare. Historically, antibiotics and vaccinations currently control APEC infections in poultry, however, antibiotic-resistant strains and heterologous serotypes limit their effectiveness. Meanwhile, antibiotic-resistant strains can be transmitted to humans via contact with animals, food or their environment.

Background: Although important information concerning COVID-19 vaccination is available, the effects of the CoronaVac and ChadOx-1 vaccines on immunity and the redox balance in the upper airway mucosa of the aged population are not fully understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the impacts of two doses of the CoronaVac or ChadOx-1 vaccine on immune/inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in the airway mucosa of older adults.
Methods: Seventy-six older adults of both sexes, with a mean age of 75.

Human milk (HM) contains the essential macronutrients and bioactive compounds necessary for the normal growth and development of newborns. The milk collected by human milk banks is stored frozen and pasteurized, reducing its nutritional and biological value. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hyperbaric storage at subzero temperatures (HS-ST) on the macronutrients and bioactive proteins in HM.
