The goal of this study was to establish the best approach for quantifying nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) lines, that in the frequency domain are overlapping with broad, unwanted background features. To perform the quantitative data analysis in a controlled way, test signals were designed and utilised, derived from two different real-world in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance signals. One of the main conclusions of the study was that the quantification methods currently available to the biomedical research groups can deliver the correct values of the quantitative parameters, but that great care should be taken in using optimal input parameters for the computer programs concerned.

Introduction: Donor human milk (DHM) is the first alternative if mother's own milk is unavailable or contraindicated. Much DHM research has focused on its nutritional, immunological and biochemical composition in response to various maternal variables, standard human milk banking procedures and storage protocols. The current systematic review protocol, however, aims to systematically gather and analyse existing data pertaining to the impact of these aforementioned factors on the clinical, health-related and developmental outcomes observed in infants fed with DHM.

Background/aim: Autosomal-recessive carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency (CACTD) is a rare disorder of long-chain fatty acid oxidation caused by variants in the SLC25A20 gene. Under fasting conditions, most newborns with severe CACTD experience sudden cardiac arrest and hypotonia, often leading to premature death due to rapid disease progression. Understanding of genetic factors and pathogenic mechanisms in CACTD is essential for its diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
