Preeclampsia is a disease that is strongly linked with the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular disease. This is a condition with greater prevalence in the Low and middle income countries of the world especially sub-Saharan Africa, where the morbidity and mortality is reportedly higher. Larger
Background. Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), is a syndrome characterized by difficulty to provide normal pulmonary vasodilatation at birth or after birth, which may be related with right ventricular dysfunction, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, sepsis, and meconium
Meal consumption, especially if high in fats, sugars and total energy content, leads to a transient rise in blood glucose and lipids. The extent of glycemic and lipidemic postprandial responses have been linked to the progression of cardiovascular and other chronic degenerative diseases, such as
Project Summary/Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is often due to the loss of large amounts of small intestine that compromises digestive absorption. The treatments include (1) a high-calorie diet that includes vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, proteins and fats; (2) injections of vitamins and
The investigators will draw blood samples of 100 patients at the time of diagnosis (each 50 with suspected or diagnosed HLH/sepsis) to determine a cytokine panel (c reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin (IL) 1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-18, IL-33, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α,
Each subject will receive one infusion of autologous, radiolabeled and BioRBC labeled INTERCEPT RBCs (Test RBCs) and one infusion of autologous BioRBC labeled untreated RBCs (Control RBCs) concomitantly. Each infusion will be approximately 20 mL, i.e., 10 mL of 51-chromium labeled RBC, and 10 mL of
1. Introduction Neonatal sepsis is a clinical syndrome of bacteremia with systemic symptoms and signs of infection in the first 28 days of life. In recent national studies, the incidence of suspected neonatal sepsis among admitted neonates varied from 32.9% to 45.9% with a higher incidence in
Patient who come for pancreatic surgery and vein resection/reconstruction will be randomized before surgery in two groups. Intervention group will start the no-fat diet right after surgery, with MCT-oil supplement. Diet will be continued up to 14 days after surgery. The control group will start the
Intravenous lipid emulsion (IVLE) is the essential component of parenteral nutrition (PN), because it is a very efficient source of energy and essential fatty acids (FA).The prevalence of abnormal liver function tests during PN varies from 15 to 85%, according to most authors.[19-21] The severity of
Angiotensin-II (ANG-II) is the end-product of the renin-angiotensin cascade, and acts as a potent endogenous vasoconstrictor through binding to the angiotensin receptor (AT1) on arteriolar vascular smooth muscle. With advancing age, there is a notable decline in plasma renin activity accompanied by
Acute pancreatitis represents inflammation of the pancreas that has been well identified in the literature for several centuries. However, the phenomenon has only relatively recently gained prominence in the pediatric literature. The incidence can be as high as 13 per 100,000 per year, a level which
Low birth weight infants are premature infants that born with birth weight less than 1500 g. Because these infants have low birth weight, weight gain can be increased by fortifying breast milk after post-natal 7. day. Breast milk fortifiers might be preferred for very low birth weight or extremely
BACKGROUND. Parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC) is a common complication of prolonged and exclusive parenteral nutrition (PN). PNAC in neonates and infants is multifactorial, including the underlying pathology and the effect of certain PN nutrients. In preterm infants, hepatic
The primary hypothesis of the study is that infants who receive an exclusive HM-based diet with the addition of a HM-derived cream caloric (Cream group) will have a shorter length of initial hospital stay compared to infants receiving the standard regimen of an exclusive HM-based diet (Control
Once fortification (to either mother's or donor milk) is initiated and tolerance is established (based on clinical observation), infants will be randomized into one of two groups: to receive human milk cream or not.
- Human Milk Cream Group: Human milk (either mother's own or donor) will be tested
