Development of the Oral Microbiota01:28

Development of the Oral Microbiota

41
The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...

Development of Human Microbiota

44
The human microbiota begins developing at birth and undergoes continual change as we age. Infancy marks a critical period of microbial sensitivity, offering a “window of opportunity” during which beneficial microbes help mature the immune system. By age three, children typically develop a more stable and diverse microbial community. Newborns acquire microbes from their immediate environment; vaginal delivery favors maternal vaginal microbes, while cesarean births favor microbes from...

Parental Care

13.0K
Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes01:20

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

4.5K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal care
  • Infant nutrition
  • Lactation studies

Background:

  • Breastfeeding patterns in preterm infants are understudied.
  • Optimal support for mothers of preterm infants is crucial.
  • Limited data exists on the first year of life for these infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe breastfeeding patterns in preterm infants up to one year corrected age.
  • To analyze breastfeeding frequency and duration in this population.
  • To provide data for improved lactation support strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 83 mothers of preterm infants (median gestational age 32 weeks).
  • Utilized 24-hour breastfeeding diaries and follow-up questionnaires up to 12 months corrected age.
  • Analyzed breastfeeding frequency, duration, and intervals between sessions.

Main Results:

  • Exclusively breastfed infants: median 14 sessions/24h post-discharge, 10 sessions/24h at 2 months.
  • Partially breastfed infants: median 5-5.5 sessions/24h at 6 and 12 months.
  • Higher median breastfeeding session frequencies observed compared to term infants.

Conclusions:

  • Significant variation in breastfeeding patterns reported by mothers of preterm infants.
  • Breastfeeding frequencies in preterm infants may exceed those in term infants.
  • Findings highlight the need for tailored support for breastfeeding mothers of preterm infants.
