Additives and Fillers in Concrete

Additives and Fillers in Concrete

Additives and fillers are integral to enhancing the properties of concrete. Pozzolans and blast-furnace slag are additives or admixtures due to their reactions with calcium hydroxide released during cement hydration. Fillers, which are finely ground and similar in fineness to Portland cement, improve concrete attributes such as workability density, and reduce capillary bleeding or cracking. Some fillers possess hydraulic properties or participate in benign reactions within the cement paste.

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Area of Science:

Pediatrics
Nutritional Science
Infant Nutrition

Background:

Breastfeeding is recommended for full-term infants by major health organizations.
Despite global efforts, many infants rely on formula for nutrition.
Modern infant formulas have advanced safety and nutritional profiles.

Purpose of the Study:

To review functional additives in infant formula.
To assess their impact on infant nutrition and development.
To understand how these additives replicate breast milk benefits.

Main Methods:

Literature review of scientific studies and health organization recommendations.
Analysis of functional additives in commercially available infant formulas.
Evaluation of research on the effects of additives on infant health outcomes.

Main Results:

Key additives include human milk oligosaccharides, milk fat globule membrane, docosahexaenoic acid, and lactoferrin.
These components offer benefits beyond basic nutrition, aiming to support infant development.
Research indicates potential positive impacts on gut microbiota, immune function, and cognitive development.

Conclusions:

Functional additives significantly enhance infant formula composition.
These ingredients help bridge the nutritional gap between formula and breast milk.
Further research is ongoing to fully elucidate the long-term benefits of these additives.
