Objective: To evaluate the association between mother's own milk (MOM) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in appropriate for gestational age (AGA) preterm infants <32 weeks.
Methods: Clinical data of AGA preterm infants (24-31 weeks) were reviewed. Infants with ≥66% of cumulative prescribed enteral volumes as MOM from birth to 36 weeks were allocated to the high provision of MOM group (H-MOM), whereas those with <66% were assigned to the low provision of MOM group (L-MOM). Multiple regressions were used to assess the association of H-MOM with BPD and oxygen saturation to fraction inspired oxygen ratio (SFR) at 36 weeks.
Results: A total of 1041 infants met the inclusion criteria, with a median provision of cumulative enteral nutrition volumes of 5721 (IQR 2616) mL/kg. Among them, 517 (49.7%) were H-MOM and 524 (50.3%) L-MOM infants. H-MOM showed a reduction in the incidence of BPD to 31.6% compared to L-MOM infants. H-MOM had a lower risk of BPD than L-MOM infants after the adjustment for gestational age, sex, cesarean section, mean SFR at the first hours of life, surfactant administration, patent ductus arteriosus, sepsis, prolonged ventilatory supports/oxygen exposure, and cumulative energy intakes from birth to 36 weeks [aOR: 0.613, p = 0.047]. H-MOM was also associated with a lower risk of SFR in the first quartile at 36 weeks [aOR: 0.616, p = 0.028] than L-MOM.
Conclusion: A high provision (≥66%) of enteral volume as MOM from birth to 36 weeks is associated with a reduced risk of both BPD and low SFR at 36 weeks in AGA preterm infants <32 weeks.

Background & objectives The COVID-19 pandemic underscores the significance of vaccination in mitigating disease spread, with Covishield and Covaxin serving as pivotal vaccines in India. Breast milk, rich in vital antibodies like IgA and IgG, plays a crucial role in enhancing the immune defence of breastfeeding infants. However, limited research exists on the antibody responses in breast milk among individuals receiving single versus double doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Background: The lactation period is a crucial period where the nutritional status and the mother's environment influence milk production, impacting organ differentiation, function, and structure in the baby's body.
Aim: The study aimed to determine the impact of providing lactating rats with quail egg supplements enriched with marine macroalgae on their physiological condition (blood cells, lipids, blood glucose, antioxidant activity, and prolactin hormone levels) and the growth of their offspring.
Methods: The study involved 25 lactating Sprague Dawley white rats aged 3 months old and weighing approximately 200 g divided into five treatment groups thus; T0 as the control, T1 with quail eggs enriched with commercial feed, T2 with quail eggs enriched with 3% of marine macroalgae, T3 with quail eggs enriched with 4% of marine macroalgae, and T4 with quail eggs enriched with 5% of marine macroalgae, which received one quail egg for 21 days.

Background: Intravenous lipid emulsions are an essential component of nutritional support for very preterm infants. Many neonatal intensive care units have transitioned from traditional soybean oil-only to fish oil-containing multicomponent lipid emulsions, but the neurodevelopmental implications have not been well-explored. The primary aim of this study was to assess extrauterine third trimester brain growth in very preterm infants supported with soybean oil-only compared to fish-oil containing multicomponent lipid emulsions; white matter development and neurobehavioral regulation at term were also investigated.

Contamination of milk is a serious public health risk, particularly in developing countries such as Ethiopia. Training is a tool for improving the quality and safety of milk. However, its effect on the microbial quality and safety of milk has not been well documented.

Background: In Japan, three doses of vitamin K are administered to neonates as prophylactic regimens against vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of this prophylactic vitamin K regimen using the hepaplastin test (HPT) performed one, two weeks, and one month after birth. The secondary aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of HPT screening in healthy neonates.
