Objective: The contribution of physician assistants (PAs) to the German healthcare workforce has increased significantly since their introduction in 2005. From five training programs, the number has increased to the current 18, with 560 PAs awarded the PA bachelor of science degree as of 2020. Despite the growth, researchers lack systemic and reliable empirical data that provide insight into the German PA educational and professional profile.

Background: Synbiotics are a mixture comprising of live microorganisms and substrate(s) selectively utilized by host microorganisms that confers a health benefit on the host. There is an increasing number of studies investigating their role in different diseases and disorders.
Aim: The purpose of this article is to provide recommendations for the use of synbiotics in the management of pediatric gastrointestinal disorders.

The present study longitudinally evaluated growth, bone mineral density, body composition, and metabolic health outcome in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants whose in-hospital target nutrient intake was within recent recommendations. From six months to three years, bone mineral density (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, DXA), body composition, and metabolic health outcome were compared with a reference group of term infants. The aim was to test whether in-hospital achieved weight gain until 36 weeks of gestation (light or appropriate for term equivalent age; LTEA or ATEA) predicts later growth, bone mineral density (BMD), abdominal obesity, or metabolic health outcomes such as insulin resistance, relative to term infants, during the first three years of life.

Purpose Of Review: In July 2019, the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended light protection of all parenteral nutrition (PN) solutions containing amino acids (AA) and/or lipids, with or without admixture of vitamins or trace elements, during administration for preterm infants, term infants and children less than 2 years of age. The aim of the present paper was to review the available evidence and to provide recommendations for in hospital and home PN light protection in children.
Recent Findings: Lipid emulsions and multivitamins are susceptible to photooxidation and generation of oxidation products.
