For example, in preterm infants the release of bile acids by the liver is only 15% of the amount that is formed during the period of full development of its function in children 2 years old.
Giving these bacteria directly to premature babies may decrease inflammation and decrease the risk for severe gastrointestinal disease(necrotizing enterocolitis) as well as the risk of death.
If these"late preterm infants" have no other health problems, they generally do significantly better than those born earlier, though they still face a higher risk of problems than babies who are born later in pregnancy.
Our commitment to vision extends globally across ages, from premature infants to seniors, from rare diseases to those affecting millions, from eye drops to gene therapies.
It is estimated that 70% of full-term newborns and 90% of preterm infants suffer from neonatal jaundice, which is defined by an increased level of unconjugated bilirubin in neonate's blood.
Our review of studies found that the use of probiotics reduces the occurrence of NEC and death in premature infants born weighing less than 1500 grams.
For the nearly 1 in 10 infants born prematurely in the United States annually, breast milk is especially beneficial, helping prevent infection and promoting brain development.
The findings are important because prematurity is a leading cause of infant death around the world, said the report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Similarly, two randomized controlled trials that assessed general measures of infant development at 12 and 24 months of age found no difference between preterm infants fed formula with or without DHA added(40, 41).
Further high-quality research is needed and research efforts should directed towards trials comparing melatonin with either no intervention(no treatment or placebo), or with alternative agents aimed at providing fetal neuroprotection(such as magnesium sulphate for the very preterm infant).
