Laser-Based Length-Measuring Board for the Measurement of Infant Body Length fr...

Publisher Copyright: © 2024 by the authors.; Introduction: Opening the incubator side wall to insert a non-sterile length-measuring device carries the risk of microbial contamination and thermal instability for preterm infants. To reduce this inconvenience, a laser-based length-measuring board is proposed to measure body length from outside the incubator. Methods: This device has two laser-line-shaped cursors w...

Growth charts from birth for infants born at term and preterm

Publisher Copyright: © 2024 Portuguese Society of Pediatrics.; The Portuguese Neonatal Society updates the growth charts recommended for term and preterm infants. The suitability of the growth chart depends on the gestational age, the purpose of the measurement, and the life cycle stage. To classify intrauterine growth at birth, the Fenton 2013 growth charts, which are based on anthropometric records at birth, ...

Individualized Fortification Based on Measured Macronutrient Content of Human M...

Funding: This study was partially supported by the Portuguese Neonatal Society through the Grant ‘Nutricia Early Life Nutrition 2019’.; The optimal method for human milk (HM) fortification has not yet been determined. This study assessed whether fortification relying on measured HM macronutrient content (Miris AB analyzer, Upsala, Sweden) composition is superior to fortification based on assumed HM macronutrien...

Customized human milk fortification based on measured human milk composition to...

Adequate nutrition of very preterm infants comprises fortification of human milk (HM), which helps to improve their nutrition and health. Standard HM fortification involves a fixed dose of a multi-nutrient HM fortifier, regardless of the composition of HM. This fortification method requires regular measurements of HM composition and has been suggested to be a more accurate fortification method. This observation...

Evolution of resting energy expenditure, respiratory quotient, and adiposity in...

This cohort study describes the evolution of resting energy expenditure (REE), respiratory quotient (RQ), and adiposity in infants recovering from corrective surgery of major congenital gastrointestinal tract anomalies. Energy and macronutrient intakes were assessed. The REE and RQ were assessed by indirect calorimetry, and fat mass index (FMI) was assessed by air displacement plethysmography. Longitudinal vari...
