Fundam Clin Pharmacol 2024; 38:685-694. [PMID: 38342497 DOI: 10.1111/fcp.12993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND While ursodeoxycholic acid is used in treating parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC) in neonates, its role in prevention is unclear. OBJECTIVES In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we attempted to determine the role of ursodeoxycholic acid in preventing PNAC in neonates. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and CINAHL databases were searched on September 16, 2023, for interventional studies comparing ursodeoxycholic acid with placebo. RESULTS Of the 6180 unique records identified, five studies were eligible for inclusion (three randomised and two nonrandomised). Evidence from randomised trials showed that ursodeoxycholic acid prophylaxis did not reduce cholestasis, mortality, sepsis, and necrotising enterocolitis. Ursodeoxycholic acid prophylaxis reduced feed intolerance (RR 0.23 (0.09, 0.64); 1 RCT, 102 neonates), peak conjugated bilirubin levels (MD -0.13 (-0.22, -0.04) mg/dL; 1 RCT, 102 neonates), and time to full enteral feeds (MD -2.7 (-5.09, -0.31) days; 2 RCTs, 76 neonates). There was no decrease in hospital stay and parenteral nutrition duration. Data from nonrandomised studies did not show benefit in any of the outcomes. The certainty of the evidence was low to very low. CONCLUSION Because of the very low-quality evidence and lack of evidence on critical outcomes, definitive conclusions could not be made on using ursodeoxycholic acid to prevent parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis in neonates.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effect of olfactory and/or gustatory stimulation interventions on feeding outcomes in preterm infants. METHODS We conducted systematic searches across various academic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Wanfang Database, and the Wipu Database. These searches aimed to identify randomized controlled trials investigating the impact of olfactory and/or gustatory stimulation on preterm infants. The search period spanned from the inception of the databases until December 2022. Two independent evaluators autonomously reviewed the literature, extracted pertinent data, assessed the quality of the included studies, and conducted a meta-analysis using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 7 randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental studies were included, with a total of 871 participants. Olfactory and gustatory stimulation demonstrated a reduction in the time to full enteral feeds in preterm infants when compared to usual care (MD = -1.60 days; 95% CI = -2.31, -0.89; p<0.0001). No substantial evidence was identified regarding the influence of olfactory and gustatory stimulation on the duration of gastric tube placement, length of hospitalization, incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis, or occurrence of spontaneous bowel perforation in preterm infants. CONCLUSIONS Olfactory and gustatory stimulation show potential benefits for preterm infants. However, due to the low to very low level of certainty associated with the available data, our ability to assess the effects is limited. Further trials and studies are essential to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms and effectiveness of olfactory and gustatory stimulation therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antibiotics are one of the most widely used medications in today's neonatal intensive care units. Indiscriminate antibiotic usage persists in preterm newborns who are symptomatic due to factors linked to prematurity rather than being septic. Previous studies in older infants suggest that prior antibiotic administration is associated with possible dysmotility and microbial dysbiosis in the intestinal tract. We hypothesize that early antibiotic administration impacts high-risk preterm infants' tolerance to enteral feeding advancement. STUDY DESIGN As part of the Routine Early Antibiotic Use in SymptOmatic Preterm Neonates study, symptomatic preterm newborns without maternal infection risk factors were randomized to receive or not receive antibiotics, with C1 receiving antibiotics and C2 not. Of the 55 newborns that underwent pragmatic randomization, 28 preterm neonates in group C1 received antibiotics. RESULTS The premature neonates in the randomized groups who received antibiotics and those who did not showed no differences in sustained feeding tolerance. CONCLUSION Our investigation of the risk of feeding issues in babies who get antibiotics early in life revealed no differences between neonates who received antibiotics and those who did not when the randomized controlled trial data alone was reviewed. Given the sample sizes, it is uncertain if the preceding analysis is powerful enough to detect differences (a significant percentage of neonates who were randomly assigned to NOT get antibiotics subsequently received early treatment due to changing clinical conditions). This affirms the requirement for a meticulously designed prospective randomized study. KEY POINTS · Defining feeding tolerance for the first time in neonates.. · Patients from the REASON trial were evaluated.. · Preterm neonates were the focus of this study..

Abstract
Intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) is a relatively common complication in individuals receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). IFALD can be manifested as different types of liver injury, including steatosis, cholestasis, and fibrosis, and could result in liver failure in some cases. The onset and progression of IFALD are highly dependent on various patient and PN-related risk factors. Despite still being under investigation, several mechanisms have been proposed. Liver injury can originate due to caloric overload, nutrient deficiency, and toxicity, as well as phytosterol content, and omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids ratio contained in lipid emulsions. Additional mechanisms include immature or defective bile acid metabolism, acute heart failure, infections, and sepsis exerting negative effects via Toll-like receptor 4 and nuclear factor κB inflammatory signaling. Furthermore, lack of enteral feeding, gut dysbiosis, and altered enterohepatic circulation that affect the farnesoid x receptor-fibroblast growth factor 19 axis can also contribute to IFALD. Various best practices can be adopted to minimize the risk of developing IFALD, such as prevention and management of central line infections and sepsis, preservation of intestine's length, a switch to oral and enteral feeding, cyclic PN, avoidance of overfeeding and soybean oil-based lipid formulations, and avoiding hepatotoxic substances. The present review thus provides a comprehensive overview of all relevant aspects inherent to IFALD. Further research focused on clinical observations, translational models, and advanced toxicological knowledge frameworks is needed to gain more insight into the molecular pathogenesis of hepatotoxicity, reduce IFALD incidence, and encourage the safe use of PN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional complications have an impact in both short- and long-term morbidity of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). We aimed to compare time to full enteral tube feeding depending on route -gastric (GT) or transpyloric (TPT)- in newborns with left CDH (L-CDH). METHODS Retrospective cohort study of L-CDH patients admitted to a referral tertiary care NICU between January 2007 and December 2014. Lethal chromosomal abnormalities and death before initiation of enteral nutrition were exclusion criteria. RESULTS 37 patients were fed through GT, 46 by TPT. TPT children took 11.0 (6.8) days to reach full enteral tube feeding and spent 16.6 (8.1) days on parenteral nutrition vs 16.8 (14.7) days (p = 0.041) and 22.7 (13.5) days (p = 0.020) of GT patients. TPT children had 3.9 (2.4) days of fasting due to GI issues and 20% had episodes of decreased rates of enteral nutrition for extra-GI complications vs 11.4 (11.1) days (p = 0.028) and 49% (p = 0.006). According to the best fitting model (R2 0.383, p < 0.001), the TPT-group achieved full enteral feeding 8.4 days earlier than the GT-group (95% CI -14.76 to - 2.02 days), after adjustment by severity of illness during the first days, o/e LHR_liver and class of diaphragmatic defect. There were no differences in growth outcomes and length of stay between survivors of GT and TPT groups. CONCLUSION TPT shortens time to full enteral nutrition, especially in the most severe L-CDH patients. We propose that placement of a TPT at the end of the surgical repair procedure should be considered, especially in higher-risk patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Treatment study, Level III. Retrospective comparative, case-control study.

Abstract
AIM Feeding a very low birthweight (VLBW, <1500 g) infant is challenging. Our aims were to study how prescribed enteral feeding is implemented in VLBW infants and to identify factors associating with slow enteral feeding progression. METHODS Our retrospective cohort included 516 VLBW infants born before 32 weeks of gestation during 2005-2013 and admitted to Children's Hospital, Helsinki, Finland, for at least the two first weeks of life. Nutritional data were collected from birth until the age of 14-28 days, depending on the length of stay. RESULTS We found that enteral feeding progressed slower than recommended and implementation differed from the prescriptions, especially during the parenteral nutrition phase (milk intake 10-20 mL/kg/day): 71% [40-100], median [IQR], of the prescribed enteral milk was administered. The full prescribed amount was less likely administered if a higher volume of gastric residual was aspirated or if the infant did not pass stool during the same day. Longer opiate use, patent ductus arteriosus, respiratory distress syndrome and slower passage of the first meconium associated with slower enteral feeding progression. CONCLUSION Enteral feeding of a VLBW infant is often not administered as prescribed, which possibly plays a significant role in the slow progression of enteral feeding.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Congenital anomalies necessitating prolonged fasting have a high mortality in low-income settings, partially due to malnutrition and electrolyte disturbances in the absence of parenteral nutrition (PN). Interventions to address these problems require an accurate baseline quantification of the morbidity and mortality of this population. This prospective study aimed to determine peri-operative morbidity, fluid and electrolyte disturbance, growth, and mortality in neonates with gastroschisis (GS), intestinal atresia (IA), and esophageal atresia (EA) in Uganda. METHODS Standardized patient care of 45 neonates treated in Uganda from Oct 2021 to March 2022 with protocolized fluid and nutrition, vital signs, and routine laboratory measurements. Patient demographics, admission and hospital characteristics are described with mean ± SD. Characteristics of survivors and non-survivors were compared with Fischer's exact tests, logrank tests, and CoX Ph model. RESULTS Twenty-eight (62.2%) patients had GS, 4 (8.9%) EA, and 13 (28.9%) IA. Thirty-six percent (16/44) of patients survived to discharge (26% GS, 50% EA, 54% IA) with an average length of stay of 17.3 days ( ± 2.2) (survivors) and 9 days ( ± 1.7) (non-survivors). Average weight was 2.21 kg ( ± 0.62) at presentation, with no significant weight change during the study. Abnormal serum sodium in 64%, phosphate 36.5%, and magnesium 20.8% of measurements. Mortality did not correlate with diagnosis (p = 0.47), electrolyte derangement, or weight change. CONCLUSION Mortality of neonates born with GS, EA, and IA is high in Uganda. Malnutrition and fluid/electrolyte derangements are common and may affect mortality. This study provides a comparison group for studying interventions to improve outcomes for these populations. TYPE OF STUDY Prospective cohort. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lipid emulsion contributes to parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC). For decades, soybean oil-based intravenous lipid emulsion (SO-ILE) was the predominant product. Recently, a multicomponent lipid emulsion containing soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil and fish oil (SMOF-ILE) has been used off-label in neonatal care. This study evaluates the incidence of PNAC in neonates who received SMOF-ILE or SO-ILE. METHODS This was a retrospective review of neonates who received SMOF-ILE or SO-ILE for at least 14 days. Patients receiving SMOF-ILE were matched based on gestational age (GA) and birth weight to a historical cohort receiving SO-ILE. The primary outcomes were the incidences of PNAC among all patients and patients without intestinal failure. The secondary outcomes were clinical outcomes and incidence of PNAC stratified by GA. Clinical outcomes included liver function tests, growth parameters, and development of retinopathy of prematurity and intraventricular hemorrhage. RESULTS Forty-three neonates who received SMOF-ILE were matched to 43 neonates who received SOILE. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics. The incidence of PNAC in the total population was 12% in the SMOF-ILE cohort and 23% in the SO-ILE cohort (p = 0.26). The lipid dosage of SMOF-ILE was significantly higher at time of peak direct serum bilirubin concentration compared with SO-ILE cohort (p = 0.05). Clinically significant differences were noted in laboratory endpoints in several subgroups. CONCLUSIONS There was no significant difference in the incidence of PNAC among neonates in a SMOFILE cohort compared with a historical SO-ILE cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Fast feed advancement may reduce hospital stay and infection but may increase adverse outcomes in preterm and low birth weight infants. The objective of this study was to assess effects of fast feed advancement (≥30 ml/kg per day) compared with slow feed advancement (<30 ml/kg per day) in preterm and low birth weight infants. METHODS Data sources include Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Index Medicus through June 30, 2021. Randomized trials were selected. Primary outcomes were mortality, morbidity, growth, and neurodevelopment. Data were extracted and pooled using random-effects models. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool was used. RESULTS A total of 12 RCTs with 4291 participants were included. At discharge, there was moderate certainty evidence that fast advancement likely slightly reduces the risk of: mortality (relative risk [RR] 0.93, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.73 to 1.18, I2 = 18%, 11 trials, 4132 participants); necrotizing enterocolitis (RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.68 to 1.15, I2 = 0%, 12 trials, 4291 participants); sepsis (RR 0.92, 95% CI 0.83 to 1.03, I2 = 0%, 9 trials, 3648 participants); and feed intolerance (RR 0.92, 95% CI 0.77 to 1.10, I2 = 0%, 8 trials, 1114 participants). Fast feed advancement may also reduce the risk of apnea (RR 0.72, 95% CI 0.47 to 1.12, I2 = 0%, low certainty, 2 trials, 153 participants). Fast feed advancement decreases time to regain birth weight (mean difference [MD] -3.69 days, 95% CI -4.44 to -2.95, I2 = 70%, high certainty, 6 trials, 993 participants,) and likely reduces the duration of hospitalization (MD -3.08 days, 95% CI -4.34 to -1.81, I2 = 77%, moderate certainty, 7 trials, 3864 participants). Limitations include heterogeneity between studies and small sample sizes. CONCLUSIONS Fast feed advancement reduces time to regain birth weight and likely reduces the length of hospital stay; it also likely reduces the risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality slightly. However, it may increase the risk of neurodevelopmental disability slightly. More studies are needed to understand the long-term effects of fast feed advancement.

Abstract
The benefits of feeding human milk to human infants are well-established. Preterm infants, particularly those born with very low birthweight (VLBW; <1,500 g), are a uniquely vulnerable population at risk for serious, life-threatening complications as well as disruptions in normal growth and development that can affect their lives into adulthood. Feeding VLBW preterm infants an exclusive human milk diet (EHMD) from birth that consists of the mother's own milk or donor human milk plus a nutritional fortifier made exclusively from human milk has been associated with a reduction in morbidity and mortality and improved early growth and developmental metrics. Preliminary evidence suggests that the health benefits of adopting an EHMD (or avoiding cow milk products) early in life may last into adulthood. This review briefly summarizes the history of breastfeeding and describes the available evidence on the benefits of an EHMD among VLBW preterm infants as well as the importance of high-quality manufacturing standards for producing safe and effective human milk-based products.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A standardised multi-site approach to manage paediatric post-operative chylothorax does not exist and leads to unnecessary practice variation. The Chylothorax Work Group utilised the Pediatric Critical Care Consortium infrastructure to address this gap. METHODS Over 60 multi-disciplinary providers representing 22 centres convened virtually as a quality initiative to develop an algorithm to manage paediatric post-operative chylothorax. Agreement was objectively quantified for each recommendation in the algorithm by utilising an anonymous survey. "Consensus" was defined as ≥ 80% of responses as "agree" or "strongly agree" to a recommendation. In order to determine if the algorithm recommendations would be correctly interpreted in the clinical environment, we developed ex vivo simulations and surveyed patients who developed the algorithm and patients who did not. RESULTS The algorithm is intended for all children (<18 years of age) within 30 days of cardiac surgery. It contains rationale for 11 central chylothorax management recommendations; diagnostic criteria and evaluation, trial of fat-modified diet, stratification by volume of daily output, timing of first-line medical therapy for "low" and "high" volume patients, and timing and duration of fat-modified diet. All recommendations achieved "consensus" (agreement >80%) by the workgroup (range 81-100%). Ex vivo simulations demonstrated good understanding by developers (range 94-100%) and non-developers (73%-100%). CONCLUSIONS The quality improvement effort represents the first multi-site algorithm for the management of paediatric post-operative chylothorax. The algorithm includes transparent and objective measures of agreement and understanding. Agreement to the algorithm recommendations was >80%, and overall understanding was 94%.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Feeding intolerance is a common condition among preterm infants owing to immaturity of the gastrointestinal tract. Enteral insulin appears to promote intestinal maturation. The insulin concentration in human milk declines rapidly post partum and insulin is absent in formula; therefore, recombinant human (rh) insulin for enteral administration as a supplement to human milk and formula may reduce feeding intolerance in preterm infants. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of 2 different dosages of rh insulin as a supplement to both human milk and preterm formula. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The FIT-04 multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial was conducted at 46 neonatal intensive care units throughout Europe, Israel, and the US. Preterm infants with a gestational age (GA) of 26 to 32 weeks and a birth weight of 500 g or more were enrolled between October 9, 2016, and April 25, 2018. Data were analyzed in January 2020. INTERVENTIONS Preterm infants were randomly assigned to receive low-dose rh insulin (400-μIU/mL milk), high-dose rh insulin (2000-μIU/mL milk), or placebo for 28 days. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was time to achieve full enteral feeding (FEF) defined as an enteral intake of 150 mL/kg per day or more for 3 consecutive days. RESULTS The final intention-to-treat analysis included 303 preterm infants (low-dose group: median [IQR] GA, 29.1 [28.1-30.4] weeks; 65 boys [59%]; median [IQR] birth weight, 1200 [976-1425] g; high-dose group: median [IQR] GA, 29.0 [27.7-30.5] weeks; 52 boys [55%]; median [IQR] birth weight, 1250 [1020-1445] g; placebo group: median [IQR] GA, 28.8 [27.6-30.4] weeks; 54 boys [55%]; median [IQR] birth weight, 1208 [1021-1430] g). The data safety monitoring board advised to discontinue the study early based on interim futility analysis (including the first 225 randomized infants), as the conditional power did not reach the prespecified threshold of 35% for both rh-insulin dosages. The study continued while the data safety monitoring board analyzed and discussed the data. In the final intention-to-treat analysis, the median (IQR) time to achieve FEF was significantly reduced in 94 infants receiving low-dose rh insulin (10.0 [7.0-21.8] days; P = .03) and in 82 infants receiving high-dose rh insulin (10.0 [6.0-15.0] days; P = .001) compared with 85 infants receiving placebo (14.0 [8.0-28.0] days). Compared with placebo, the difference in median (95% CI) time to FEF was 4.0 (1.0-8.0) days for the low-dose group and 4.0 (1.0-7.0) days for the high-dose group. Weight gain rates did not differ significantly between groups. Necrotizing enterocolitis (Bell stage 2 or 3) occurred in 7 of 108 infants (6%) in the low-dose group, 4 of 88 infants (5%) in the high-dose group, and 10 of 97 infants (10%) in the placebo group. None of the infants developed serum insulin antibodies. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Results of this randomized clinical trial revealed that enteral administration of 2 different rh-insulin dosages was safe and compared with placebo, significantly reduced time to FEF in preterm infants with a GA of 26 to 32 weeks. These findings support the use of rh insulin as a supplement to human milk and preterm formula. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02510560.

Parenteral Nutrition and Oxidant Load in Neonates. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13082631.

Abstract
Neonates with preterm, gastrointestinal dysfunction and very low birth weights are often intolerant to oral feeding. In such infants, the provision of nutrients via parenteral nutrition (PN) becomes necessary for short-term survival, as well as long-term health. However, the elemental nutrients in PN can be a major source of oxidants due to interactions between nutrients, imbalances of anti- and pro-oxidants, and environmental conditions. Moreover, neonates fed PN are at greater risk of oxidative stress, not only from dietary sources, but also because of immature antioxidant defences. Various interventions can lower the oxidant load in PN, including the supplementation of PN with antioxidant vitamins, glutathione, additional arginine and additional cysteine; reduced levels of pro-oxidant nutrients such as iron; protection from light and oxygen; and proper storage temperature. This narrative review of published data provides insight to oxidant molecules generated in PN, nutrient sources of oxidants, and measures to minimize oxidant levels.

Abstract
Background The surgical management of esophageal atresia in extreme-low-birth-weight infants (< 1000 g) is challenging. We report on an extreme-low-birth-weight infant who was extremely preterm (510 g, 25 + 5 weeks) and of prenatally unknown Gross type C esophageal atresia. Case presentation After resuscitation and intubation, the tracheoesophageal fistula was closed on the first day of life in the neonatal intensive care unit via an extrapleural approach using a titanium clip. On the sixth day of life, the Caucasian child was extubated. To minimize the operative trauma in the initial neonatal period, we prolonged gastrostomy placement until the 22nd day of life (weight 725 g). At the age of 3 months (weight 2510 g), thoracoscopic esophageal anastomosis was performed. The postoperative course was unremarkable. During the further clinical course, eight esophageal dilations were necessary. Currently, the patient swallows without difficulties at the age of 4 years and thrives well [15 kg (Percentile 28); 100 cm (Percentile 24)]. Conclusions Our case shows that minimized postnatal surgical trauma with primary tracheoesophageal fistula closure at the bedside, delayed gastrostomy, and minimally invasive esophageal repair after substantial weight gain (> 2.5 kg) is a good strategy for esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula in extreme-low-birth-weight infants.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Die Leitlinien der „European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition“ (ESPGHAN) liefern evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen zu parenteraler Ernährung (PE) von Frühgeborenen und kranken Neugeborenen. Im Jahr 2013 wurde gezeigt, dass sie in Westeuropa nur teilweise angewendet werden und ihre klinische Implementierung verbessert werden sollte.
Ziel der Arbeit
Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, die derzeitige Anwendung der ESPGHAN-Leitlinien in Deutschland sowie Barrieren, die die Umsetzung verhindern, abzubilden.
Material und Methoden
Zusammen mit einer Expertengruppe und Institutionen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum hat die „European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants“ (EFCNI) eine Befragung durchgeführt. Mit einem Online-Fragebogen wurden Pädiaterinnen/Pädiater (PÄD) und Krankenhausapothekerinnen/Krankenhausapotheker (KHA) aus deutschen Perinatalzentren und Krankenhausapotheken bezüglich der Umsetzung der Leitlinien befragt. Die Ergebnisse wurden qualitativ und quantitativ ausgewertet.
Ergebnisse und Diskussion
Von 558 angeschriebenen Kontakten wurden 196 gültige Umfragen ausgewertet. Nach Eigenangaben wenden 77 % der PÄD und 48 % der KHA die ESPGHAN-Leitlinien an. Barrieren wurden innerhalb der klinischen Anwendung identifiziert und waren teilweise struktureller und/oder organisatorischer Natur. Verbesserungsbedarf wurde in der Bereitstellung von parenteralen Standardlösungen, insbesondere am Wochenende, und elektronischen Verordnungssystemen, der Verabreichung von Lipiden bereits am 1. Lebenstag und der regelmäßigen Beurteilung aller Laborparameter beobachtet.

Abstract
Background Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is strongly associated with premature birth, but it can also affect term neonates. Unlike the extent of research in preterm neonates, risk factors associated with incidence and severity of NRDS in term neonates are not well studied. In this study, we examined the association of maternal and neonatal risk factors with the incidence and severity of NRDS in term neonates admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Cyprus. Methods In a prospective, case-control design we recruited term neonates with NRDS and non-NRDS admitted to the NICU of Archbishop Makarios III hospital, the only neonatal tertiary centre in Cyprus, between April 2017–October 2018. Clinical data were obtained from patients’ files. We used univariate and multivariate logistic and linear regression models to analyse binary and continuous outcomes respectively. Results During the 18-month study period, 134 term neonates admitted to NICU were recruited, 55 (41%) with NRDS diagnosis and 79 with non-NRDS as controls. In multivariate adjusted analysis, male gender (OR: 4.35, 95% CI: 1.03–18.39, p = 0.045) and elective caesarean section (OR: 11.92, 95% CI: 1.80–78.95, p = 0.01) were identified as independent predictors of NRDS. Among neonates with NRDS, early-onset infection tended to be associated with increased administration of surfactant (β:0.75, 95% CI: − 0.02-1.52, p = 0.055). Incidence of pulmonary hypertension or systemic hypotension were associated with longer duration of parenteral nutrition (pulmonary hypertension: 11Vs 5 days, p < 0.001, systemic hypotension: 7 Vs 4 days, p = 0.01) and higher rate of blood transfusion (pulmonary hypertension: 100% Vs 67%, p = 0.045, systemic hypotension: 85% Vs 55%, p = 0.013). Conclusions This study highlights the role of elective caesarean section and male gender as independent risk factors for NRDS in term neonates. Certain therapeutic interventions are associated with complications during the course of disease. These findings can inform the development of evidence-based recommendations for improved perinatal care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is known to reduce neonatal mortality and morbidity. In preterm neonates, KMC is usually initiated only after stabilization. AIMS We aimed to assess if early initiation of KMC starting within the first week of life is safe, and reduces the time to full feeds (TFF) in preterm neonates. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SUBJECTS Preterm neonates (Gestation ≤ 34 weeks, Birth weight ≤ 1250 g). This was studied in two epochs, (epoch 1) which was before early KMC vs. epoch 2 which was after implementation of early KMC even if they needed respiratory support, with umbilical/central lines in situ. OUTCOME The primary outcome of the study was time to establish full feeds (TFF) of 150 ml/kg/day. RESULTS The neonatal demographic characteristics were comparable between epoch 1 and epoch 2 except for lower gestational age, higher surfactant, and any respiratory support in epoch 2. On univariate analysis, early KMC significantly reduced TFF (12.5 vs. 9 days, P < 0.001). Feed intolerance, duration of parenteral nutrition were significantly reduced, and discharge weight Z score improved significantly in epoch 2. On multivariate regression analysis early KMC, exclusive mother's own milk feeding and blood culture-positive late-onset sepsis were important predictors of TFF. Early KMC was safe and well-tolerated. CONCLUSION Early KMC was safe and associated with reduced TFF and other nutritional benefits in moderately ill preterm neonates.

Abstract
We present a prospective case series of 3 premature neonates with abnormal vitamin A, vitamin E, and selenium levels after being managed on prolonged parenteral nutrition (PN). All 3 patients experienced gastrointestinal complications including spontaneous intestinal perforation, necrotizing enterocolitis, and/or short bowel syndrome. Additionally, all 3 patients developed PN-associated liver disease, which required the use of a mixed lipid emulsion and a fish oil-based lipid emulsion for a short period of time. We evaluated the micronutrient levels of these patients after they had been receiving PN for 1 to 2 months. After the early identification of these abnormalities, we promptly attempted to correct the levels through supplementation and restriction, as appropriate. One barrier we experienced in the treatment of these patients was the conflicting guidance of daily micronutrient dosing in PN and when to evaluate levels in premature infants from the European and American pediatric nutrition organizations, the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition. Additionally, after we assessed micronutrient levels, we experienced a lack of guidance on how to adjust dosing and when to monitor subsequent levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parenteral nutrition (PN) is critical for the growth and development of premature neonates who are unable to reach nutrition goals enterally. Using soybean-oil emulsions in PN is a risk factor for cholestasis, leading to alternative dosing strategies including a reduction in total lipid prescribed. Recently, SMOFlipid has been utilized with the goal of avoiding cholestasis while maintaining energy intake. The aim of our study was to compare the incidence of PN-associated cholestasis (PNAC) in patients admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who received either Intralipid 20% or SMOFlipid. METHODS This single-center, retrospective study evaluated all NICU patients who received PN for ≥14 days. Patients who received SMOFlipid were compared with those who received Intralipid. The primary end point was incidence of PNAC. Secondary end points included (1) prevalence of elevated liver function tests; (2) effect on select laboratory parameters; (3) development of PNAC by age; and (4) incidence of retinopathy of prematurity. RESULTS A total of 136 neonates were included. Nine of 55 patients (16.4%) in the Intralipid group and 2 of 81 patients (2.5%) in the SMOFlipid group developed cholestasis, defined as direct bilirubin > 2 mg/dL or direct bilirubin > 20% of total bilirubin, when total bilirubin is >5 mg/dL, on or before 30 days post initiation of PN (P = .007). CONCLUSION Use of SMOFlipid as the lipid emulsion component of PN may be beneficial in prevention of PNAC in NICU patients that are receiving PN for ≥2 weeks.

Abstract
Congenital short bowel syndrome (CSBS) is an uncommon gastrointestinal disorder in which an unclear aetiology causes considerable intrauterine reduction in small bowel length. As a result of reduced absorptive intestinal length, chronic diarrhoea, vomiting, and consequently, failure to thrive are likely. We report a case of CSBS in a 26-day-old girl who had malrotation and a short bowel with a length of bowel from the pylorus to the ileocecal junction of approximately 40 cm. The patient underwent Ladd's procedure, but she is still dependent on parenteral nutrition.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Fetal intervention is a dynamic field with wide-reaching implications on neonatal ICU admissions and the care of neonates with congenital anomalies. The aim of this review is to summarize recent advancements in fetal surgery and provide a broad understanding of how these topics interrelate. RECENT FINDINGS Advancements in prenatal imaging and diagnosis have dramatically expanded the indications for fetal intervention. Most recently, there has been a large focus on evaluating minimally invasive strategies of fetal intervention, notably fetoscopic surgery, and the use of stem cells for fetal treatment of myelomeningocele. With the advances in fetal intervention, neonatal care has adapted to the needs of these various patients to help improve the outcomes of this unique population. SUMMARY Fetal intevention relies on a multidisciplinary team from prenatal imaging and maternal fetal medicine to fetal surgery and postnatal subspecialty care, particuarly neonatology. Fetal intervention uniquely involves two patients, both mother and fetus, and therefore, has unique risks and considerations, particularly in the advancement of the field. As the number of conditions suited to fetal intervention grows, awareness and advancement of the postnatal intensive care necessary for these patients are essential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uncertainty exists about the optimal point at which multi-component fortifier should be added to human milk for promoting growth in preterm infants. The most common practice is to start fortification when the infant's daily enteral feed volume reaches 100 mL/kg body weight. Another approach is to commence fortification earlier, in some cases as early as the first enteral feed. Early fortification of human milk could increase nutrient intake and growth rates but may increase the risk of feed intolerance and necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). OBJECTIVES To assess effects on growth and safety of early fortification of human milk versus late fortification in preterm infants To assess whether effects vary based upon gestational age (≤ 27 weeks; 28 to 31 weeks; ≥ 32 weeks), birth weight (< 1000 g; 1000 to 1499 g; ≥ 1500 g), small or appropriate for gestational age, or type of fortifier (bovine milk-based human milk fortifier (HMF); human milk-based HMF; formula powder) SEARCH METHODS: We used the standard strategy of Cochrane Neonatal to search the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2019, Issue 8); OVID MEDLINE (R) and Epub Ahead of Print, In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Daily and Versions (R) (1946 to 15 August 2019); MEDLINE via PubMed (1 August 2018 to 15 August 2019) for the previous year; and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literatue (CINAHL) (1981 to 15 August 2019). We searched clinical trials databases and reference lists of included studies. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials that compared early versus late fortification of human milk in preterm infants. We defined early fortification as fortification started at < 100 mL/kg/d enteral feed volume or < 7 days postnatal age, and late fortification as fortification started at ≥ 100 mL/kg/d feeds or ≥ 7 days postnatal age. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Both review authors assessed trial eligibility and risk of bias and independently extracted data. We analysed treatment effects in individual trials, and we reported risk ratio (RR) for dichotomous data and mean difference (MD) for continuous data, with respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We used the GRADE approach to assess the certainty of evidence. MAIN RESULTS We included two trials with a total of 237 infants. All participants were very low birth weight infants (birth weight < 1500 g). Early fortification was started at 20 mL/kg/d enteral feeds in one study and 40 mL/kg/d in the other study. Late fortification was started at 100 mL/kg/d feeds in both studies. One study used bovine milk-based fortifier, and the other used human milk-based fortifier. Meta-analysis showed that early fortification may have little or no effect on growth outcomes including time to regain birth weight (MD -0.06 days, 95% CI -1.32 to 1.20 days), linear growth (MD 0.10 cm/week, 95% CI -0.03 to 0.22 cm/week), or head growth (MD -0.01 cm/week, 95% CI -0.07 to 0.06 cm/week) during the initial hospitalisation period. Early fortification may have little or no effect on the risk of NEC (MD -0.01, 95% CI -0.07 to 0.06). The certainty of evidence was low for these outcomes due to risk of bias (lack of blinding) and imprecision (small sample size). Early fortification may have little or no effect on incidence of surgical NEC, time to reach full enteral feeds, extrauterine growth restriction at discharge, proportion of infants with feed interruption episodes, duration of total parenteral nutrition (TPN), duration of central venous line usage, or incidence of invasive infection, all-cause mortality, and duration of hospital stay. The certainty of evidence was low for these outcomes due to risk of bias (lack of blinding) and imprecision (small sample size). We did not have data for other outcomes such as subsequent weight gain after birth weight is regained, parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease, postdischarge growth, and neurodevelopmental outcomes. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Available evidence is insufficient to support or refute early fortification of human milk in preterm infants. Further large trials would be needed to provide data of sufficient quality and precision to inform policy and practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parenteral nutrition (PN) is associated with risks that could threaten the clinical condition of premature neonates hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit. In this work, risk-analysis methodology was implemented to contain the risks associated with the PN production process and improve PN safety. METHODS The Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis was performed by a multidisciplinary team. All potential failure modes of the PN preparation process were recorded, and associated risks were scored based on their severity, occurrence, and detectability, with a risk priority number (RPN). All identified failure scenarios and the respective work stages were ranked in descending order of criticality. Corrective actions were proposed to address critical points, and the safety of the process was reassessed by the same method in a prospective manner. RESULTS The highest RPN scores were obtained with the PN composition calculation performed manually (RPN: 530) or electronically (RPN: 478), completion of the PN medical order form (RPN: 354), manual compounding of PN admixtures (RPN: 258), and the structure/organization/maintenance of the PN preparation unit (RPN: 133). The quality and safety of PN admixtures could be compromised by many critical factors, such as the increased particle-microbial load in the unit and the inadequate training/experience of the involved health professionals and their incompliance with the given instructions. The implementation of the proposed corrective measures is expected to reduce the risks of the overall PN production process by 67.5%. CONCLUSIONS Improvement of the PN production process through risk-analysis methodologies enhances safety for premature neonates.

Abstract
AIMS To determine 1) the relationship between infant medical factors and early neurobehavior, and 2) the relationship between early neurobehavior at 30 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) and neurobehavior at term equivalent age. STUDY DESIGN In this prospective longitudinal study, 88 very preterm infants born ≤30 weeks estimated gestational age (EGA) had neurobehavioral assessments at 30 weeks PMA using the Premie-Neuro and at term equivalent age using the NICU Network Neurobehavioral Scale (NNNS) and Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Evaluation (HNNE). RESULTS Lower Premie-Neuro scores at 30 weeks PMA were related to being more immature at birth (p = 0.01; β = 3.87); the presence of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA; p < 0.01; β = -16.50) and cerebral injury (p < 0.01; β = -20.46); and prolonged exposure to oxygen therapy (p < 0.01; β = -0.01), endotracheal intubation (p < 0.01; β = -0.23), and total parenteral nutrition (p < 0.01; β = -0.35). After controlling for EGA, PDA, and number of days of endotracheal intubation, lower Premie-Neuro scores at 30 weeks PMA were independently related to lower total HNNE scores at term (p < 0.01; β = 0.12) and worse outcome on the NNNS with poorer quality of movement (p < 0.01; β = 0.02) and more stress (p < 0.01; ß = -0.004), asymmetry (p = 0.01; β = -0.04), excitability (p < 0.01; β = -0.05) and suboptimal reflexes (p < 0.01; ß = -0.06). CONCLUSION Medical factors were associated with early neurobehavioral performance at 30 weeks PMA. Early neurobehavior at 30 weeks PMA was a good marker of adverse neurobehavior at NICU discharge.

Abstract
The metabolism of macro- and micronutrients is a complex and highly regulated biological process. An imbalance in the metabolites and their signaling networks can lead to nonresolving inflammation and consequently to the development of chronic inflammatory-associated diseases. Therefore, identifying the accumulated metabolites and altered pathways during inflammatory disorders would not only serve as "real-time" markers but also help in the development of nutritional therapeutics. In this review, we explore recent research that has delved into elucidating the effects of carbohydrate/calorie restriction, protein malnutrition, lipid emulsions and micronutrient deficiencies on metabolic health and inflammation. Moreover, we describe the integrated stress response in terms of amino acid starvation and lipemia and how this modulates new age diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and atherosclerosis. Lastly, we explain the latest research on metaflammation and inflammaging. This review focuses on multiple signaling pathways, including, but not limited to, the FGF21-β-hydroxybutryate-NLRP3 axis, the GCN2-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway, the von Hippel-Lindau/hypoxia-inducible transcription factor pathway and the TMAO-PERK-FoxO1 axis. Additionally, throughout the review, we explain how the gut microbiota responds to altered nutrient status and also how antimicrobial peptides generated from nutrient-based signaling pathways can modulate the gut microbiota. Collectively, it must be emphasized that metabolic starvation and inflammation are strongly regulated by both environmental (i.e., nutrition, gut microbiome) and nonenvironmental (i.e., genetics) factors, which can influence the susceptibility to inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
When breastmilk is insufficient to meet planned feed volumes, neonatologists need to continue parenteral nutrition (PN) or use formula. This trial conducted at a tertiary care unit in South India between August 2014 and April 2016 compared time to full feeds in preterms fed 'mother's milk alone(MM)' vs. 'hybrid feed-mother's milk supplemented with formula(HF)'. We also compared time to regain birth weights, duration of PN, feed intolerance, Necrotizing Enterocolitis stage 2 or more, all-cause mortality, Extrauterine growth restriction, Healthcare associated infections, exclusive breast milk feeding rates at discharge, Retinopathy of prematurity requiring laser therapy, abnormal neurosonogram and oxygen dependency at 28 days. Neonates between 27 and 32 weeks were randomized into MM/HF when breast milk was insufficient. HF received formula to reach targeted feed volumes. MM received more PN to meet fluid requirements. 54 babies were analyzed in MM and 58 in HF. Time to full feeds were similar-MM (14.1 ± 4 days); HF (13.5 ± 4 days), p = 0.45. Exclusive breast milk feeding rates at discharge were higher in MM when compared to HF (74% vs. 51%). Other secondary outcomes were similar between groups. When mother's milk is unavailable in sufficient quantities, preterm babies may receive hybrid feeds. (Clinical trials registry of India no. REF/2016/02/006622).

Abstract
Parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD) is a liver dysfunction caused by various risk factors presented in patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Omega-6 rich Intralipid® and omega-3 rich Omegaven® are two intravenous lipid emulsions used in TPN. TPN could affect the hepatic expression of genes in anti-oxidative stress, but it's unknown whether TPN affects genes in drug metabolism. In this study, either Intralipid®- or Omegaven®-based TPN was administered to mice and the expression of a cohort of genes involved in anti-oxidative stress or drug metabolism was analyzed, glutathione (GSH) levels were measured, and protein levels for two key drug metabolism genes were determined. Overall, the expression of most genes was downregulated by Intralipid®-based TPN (Gstp1, Gstm1, 3, 6, Nqo1, Ho-1, Mt-1, Gclc, Gclm, Cyp2d9, 2f2, 2b10, and 3a11). Omegaven® showed similar results as Intralipid® except for preserving the expression of Gstm1 and Cyp3a11, and increasing Ho-1. Total GSH levels were decreased by Intralipid®, but increased by Omegaven®. CYP3A11 protein levels were increased by Omegaven®. In conclusion, TPN reduced the expression of many genes involved in anti-oxidative stress and drug metabolism in mice. However, Omegaven® preserved expression of Cyp3a11, suggesting another beneficial effect of Omegaven® in protecting liver functions.

Abstract
Current evidence indicates that foods with added plant sterols or stanols can lower serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. This review summarizes the recent findings and deliberations of 31 experts in the field who participated in a scientific meeting in Winnipeg, Canada, on the health effects of plant sterols and stanols. Participants discussed issues including, but not limited to, the health benefits of plant sterols and stanols beyond cholesterol lowering, the role of plant sterols and stanols as adjuncts to diet and drugs, and the challenges involved in measuring plant sterols and stanols in biological samples. Variations in interindividual responses to plant sterols and stanols, as well as the personalization of lipid-lowering therapies, were addressed. Finally, the clinical aspects and treatment of sitosterolemia were reviewed. Although plant sterols and stanols continue to offer an efficacious and convenient dietary approach to cholesterol management, long-term clinical trials investigating the endpoints of cardiovascular disease are still lacking.

Abstract
There is strong evidence that oxidant molecules from various sources contaminate solutions of parenteral nutrition following interactions between the mixture of nutrients and some of the environmental conditions encountered in clinical practice. The continuous infusion of these organic and nonorganic peroxides provided us with a unique opportunity to study in cells, in vascular and animal models, the mechanisms involved in the deleterious reactions of oxidation in premature infants. Potential clinical impacts of peroxides infused with TPN include: a redox imbalance, vasoactive responses, thrombosis of intravenous catheters, TPN-related hepatobiliary complications, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and mortality. This is a narrative review of published data.

Abstract
Because of their immaturity, many premature infants are fed via nasogastric tube. One objective of the neonatal care is to feed infants orally early. The olfactory function of premature infants is developed before birth and odorants have a significant impact on nutrition in infants. The aim of the study was to test whether odor stimulation has a positive effect on the transition from gavage to oral feeding in infants. Participants were premature infants with gestational age of more than 27 weeks, with full or partial gavage feeding, stable vital parameters and without invasive ventilation. Before each feeding procedure an odorant was presented in front of the infant's nose. Infants were randomized into 1 of 3 groups and received either rose odor (not food-associated), vanilla odor (food-associated), or placebo (no odor). The primary outcome of the study was defined as the time until complete oral nutrition. About 150 children born at a postnatal age of 9.5 ± 7.8 days were included in this study. The duration until complete oral nutrition was reached after 11.8 ± 7.7 (vanilla), 12.2 ± 7.7 (rose), and 12.9 ± 8.8 (control) days. A nearly linear relation between odor presentation frequency and effect size was detectable. For infants that received the intervention for more than 66.7% of the time the length of gavage feeding (8 ± 5.4) and hospitalization (11 ± 6.5) was significantly lower in the vanilla group when compared with control (15 ± 7.3 and 21 ± 13.7, respectively). Odor stimulation with vanilla has an impact on oral feeding in premature infants, however the odor has to be presented on regular basis.

Abstract
Background Parenteral nutrition (PN) improves the survival of premature infants. However, prolonged PN increases the risk of PN-associated cholestasis (PNAC). Objective We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of aspartate aminotransferase (AST)-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) for PNAC in infants with extremely low birth weight (ELBW, birth weight < 1000 g) infants. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of ELBW infants from March 2010 to February 2017. Clinical data and the serial APRI, AST, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), AST-to-ALT ratio, and direct bilirubin (DB) were analyzed. PNAC was diagnosed in infants with a history of PN for at least 2 weeks and direct bilirubin concentrations > 2 mg/dL after other causes of neonatal cholestasis were excluded. Results Among the 179 eligible ELBW infants, 56 (31.3%) were diagnosed with PNAC. APRI significantly differed between infants with PNAC and those without PNAC. The best APRI cut-off point was 0.410 at 2 weeks after the start of PN (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.752, p < 0.05; positive predictive value, 50.6%; negative predictive value, 84.1%). Conclusion APRI at 2 weeks after PN could be a reliable predictor of PNAC development in ELBW infants on PN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal Failure-Associated Liver Disease is characterized by cholestasis and hepatic dysfunction due to parenteral nutrition (PN) therapy. We described key features of cholestatic infants receiving PN to assess overall outcomes in this population at our institution. METHODS This is a retrospective single center study of 163 neonates grouped into cholestatic (n = 63) and non-cholestatic (n = 100) as defined by peak conjugated bilirubin of ≥2.0 mg/dL or < 0.8 mg/dL, respectively. Univariate and multiple regression models were used to study associations between variables and outcomes of interest. RESULTS Lower Apgar scores (4 ± 3 vs. 6 ± 3, p-value = <0.005 at 1 min; 6 ± 2 vs. 7 ± 2, p < 0.005 at 5 min) and lower birth weight (adj β [SE] = 0.62 [0.27], p-value = 0.024) were risk factors for developing cholestasis. Cholestatic infants were more likely to have had gastrointestinal surgery (31 [49%] vs. 15 [15%], p-value <0.005), received PN for a longer duration (40 ± 39 days vs. 11 ± 7 days, p-value <0.005), and started enteral feeds later in life (86 ± 23 days vs. 79 ± 20 days, p-value <0.005) when compared to non-cholestatic infants. Weight percentiles in cholestatic infants were lower both at hospital discharge (14 ± 19 vs. 24 ± 22, p-value <0.005) and at 6 months of age (24 ± 28 vs. 36 ± 31, p-value = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Cholestasis in the NICU is a multifactorial process, but it has a long lasting effect on prospective weight gain in infants who receive PN in the NICU. This finding highlights the importance of follow-up for adequate growth and the potential benefit from aggressive nutritional support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disorder of the retina of low-birth-weight preterm infants that potentially leads to blindness. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is protective in experimental models, but its administration as part of parenteral nutrition has shown inconsistent results. We test the effect of enteral DHA to prevent ROP and/or severity and to reduce hospital stay. METHODS This was a double-blind parallel clinical trial. Preterm infants (n = 110; 55 per group) with birth weight <1500 g but ≥1000 g were recruited in a neonatal intensive care unit. Infants were randomized to receive 75 mg of DHA/kg/d (DHA group) or high oleic sunflower oil (control group) for 14 days by enteral feeding. The effect of DHA was evaluated on any stage of ROP, severe ROP (stage ≥3) incidence, and hospital stay. Groups were compared with relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI), Fisher's exact test, Student's t-test, or Mann-Whitney U-test, as appropriate. Logistic regression was applied to adjust for confounders. RESULTS There was no difference between the DHA and control groups in ROP risk (RR for DHA = 0.79; 95% CI, 0.49-1.27; P = 0.33). However, patients who received DHA showed lower risk for stage 3 ROP (RR for DHA = 0.66; 95% CI, 0.44-0.99; P = 0.03). After adjusting for confounders, this decreased risk remained significant (adjusted odds ratio = 0.10; 95% CI, 0.011-0.886; P = 0.04). Hospital stay was similar between groups. CONCLUSION Enteral DHA may reduce the incidence of stage 3 ROP.

Abstract
Meconium peritonitis is a sterile chemical peritonitis preceded by bowel perforation, resulting in meconium leakage and subsequent inflammatory cascade within the peritoneal cavity. The presentation can range from simple failure of the neonate to pass meconium to complications such as persistent pulmonary hypertension, lung hypoplasia, and systemic inflammatory syndrome. The purpose of this article is to review a case of meconium peritonitis while considering its etiology, diagnosis, management, and multidisciplinary team care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Providing parenteral amino acids to very-low-birth-weight infants during the first weeks of life is critical for adequate growth and neurodevelopment. However, there is no consensus about what dose is appropriate or when to initiate supplementation. As a result, daily practice varies among neonatal intensive care units. The objective of our study was to determine the effects of early parenteral amino-acid supplementation (within 24 h of birth) versus later initiation and high dose (>3.0 g/kg/day) versus a lower dose on growth and morbidities. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of publications identified by searching PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases was conducted. Randomized controlled studies were eligible if information on growth was available. RESULTS The search identified 14 studies. No differences were observed in growth or morbidity after early or high-dose amino-acid supplementation, but for several outcomes, meta-analysis was not possible due to study heterogeneity. Initiation of amino acids within the first 24 h of life appeared to be safe and well tolerated, and leads more rapidly to a positive nitrogen balance. CONCLUSIONS Administering a high dose (>3.0 g/kg/day) or an early dose (≤24 h) of parenteral amino acids is safe and well tolerated but does not offer significant benefits on growth. Further large-scale randomized controlled trials in preterm infants are needed to study the effects of early and high-dose amino acids on growth and morbidity more consistently and extensively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The perception of smell and taste, though present early in development, is not routinely considered in the care of preterm infants. Smell and taste are known to increase gut motility, insulin secretion, and the release of appetite, digestive and metabolic hormones. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the effect of regular smell and taste on the time from birth to full enteral feeds, and the feasibility of the study protocol in very preterm infants. METHODS In a randomized controlled trial, infants <29 weeks' postmenstrual age (PA) were assigned to receive either the smell and taste of milk before each feed or to have no exposure to the smell and taste of milk (control). RESULTS Infants in the treatment group (n = 28) and control group (n = 23) were born at a mean (SD) PA of 26.7 (1.5) and 27.2 (1.4) weeks, respectively. They reached full enteral feeds at a median (IQR) of 13.5 (10.0-19.0) and 15.5 (11.0-22.0) days, respectively. Survival analysis showed an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.63 (95% confidence interval 0.91-2.91; p = 0.10) for the effect on the time to establish full enteral feeds. Repeated-measures analysis indicated significant group differences in weight z scores at 36 weeks' PA and at discharge in favor of the intervention (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION These data indicate that the smell and taste of milk may improve milk tolerance and weight in preterm infants. The role of regular smell and taste in promoting enteral nutrition and growth in preterm infants merits a larger trial powered to detect important outcomes.

Abstract
AIM Parenteral nutrition (PN) provides an alternative nutrition source for preterm infants who are intolerant of enteral nutrition. However, prolonged PN increases the risk of PN-associated cholestasis (PNAC). We conducted this study to determine the incidence and risk factors of PNAC in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of ELBW infants from March 2010 to April 2015. PNAC was diagnosed in infants with a history of PN for at least two weeks and direct bilirubin concentrations >2 mg/dL after other causes of neonatal cholestasis were excluded. RESULTS Of the 114 eligible ELBW infants, 41 (36%) were diagnosed with PNAC. The multivariate analysis showed that birth weight, sepsis, necrotising enterocolitis, fluconazole prophylaxis and the duration of PN and hospitalisation were independent risk factors for the development of PNAC (p < 0.05). However, parenteral fish oil-based lipid preparation (FOLP) did not reduce the risk of PNAC. Although PNAC was not a direct cause of death, it was associated with an increased risk of mortality. CONCLUSION PNAC was common in ELBW infants, was associated with various clinical factors and increased the risk of mortality. However, we did not observe the protective effect of FOLP against PNAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In response to a national shortage of parenteral phosphorus solutions (2013), a hospital-wide phosphorus dose restriction strategies was implemented which included judicious use of phosphorus in preterm infants <1250 g birth weight and no parenteral phosphorus in preterm infants >1250 g birth weight unless they have a critically low phosphorus level. OBJECTIVE To study the effect of parenteral phosphorus dose restriction in preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. METHODS Preterm infants (≤35 weeks birth gestation and ≤2500 g birth weight) who received parenteral nutrition, survived >1 week and had no major congenital anomalies were studied. Clinical and laboratory data in the first 4 weeks of life of infants admitted during the parenteral phosphorus shortage (cases) were compared to infants who were admitted 6 months prior to the shortage (controls). RESULTS Twenty consecutive cases were compared to 40 consecutive controls. Cases had lower serum phosphorus levels, higher serum alkaline phosphatase levels, and need for greater inotropic support compared to controls. These differences were significant only in preterm infants with birth weight >1250 g, the group who received more parenteral phosphorus dose restriction while they were similar in preterm infants with birth weight <1250 g. CONCLUSION The modest effects of phosphorus dose restriction may become more clinically important if shortage is prolonged or severe or if it involves extreme preterm infants.

Impact of glutathione supplementation of parenteral nutrition on hepatic methionine adenosyltransferase activity. Redox Biol 2015; 8:18-23.

Abstract
Background The oxidation of the methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) by the combined impact of peroxides contaminating parenteral nutrition (PN) and oxidized redox potential of glutathione is suspected to explain its inhibition observed in animals. A modification of MAT activity is suspected to be at origin of the PN-associated liver disease as observed in newborns. We hypothesized that the correction of redox potential of glutathione by adding glutathione in PN protects the MAT activity. Aim To investigate whether the addition of glutathione to PN can reverse the inhibition of MAT observed in animal on PN. Methods Three days old guinea pigs received through a jugular vein catheter 2 series of solutions. First with methionine supplement, (1) Sham (no infusion); (2) PN: amino acids, dextrose, lipids and vitamins; (3) PN-GSSG: PN+10 μM GSSG. Second without methionine, (4) D: dextrose; (5) D+180 μM ascorbylperoxide; (6) D+350 μM H2O2. Four days later, liver was sampled for determination of redox potential of glutathione and MAT activity in the presence or absence of 1 mM DTT. Data were compared by ANOVA, p<0.05. Results MAT activity was 45±4% lower in animal infused with PN and 23±7% with peroxides generated in PN. The inhibition by peroxides was associated with oxidized redox potential and was reversible by DTT. Correction of redox potential (PN+GSSG) or DTT was without effect on the inhibition of MAT by PN. The slope of the linear relation between MAT activity and redox potential was two fold lower in animal infused with PN than in others groups. Conclusion The present study suggests that prevention of peroxide generation in PN and/or correction of the redox potential by adding glutathione in PN are not sufficient, at least in newborn guinea pigs, to restore normal MAT activity. Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) is essential for healthy liver. Parenteral nutrition (PN) inhibits hepatic MAT. The inhibition is caused by intrinsic peroxides and by unknown component of PN. Adding glutathione in PN is not sufficient to prevent PN-associated liver diseases.
