Food hypersensitivity
A landmark trial in 2015 found that feeding peanuts to babies could cut their chances of developing an allergy by over 80 percent, leading to a reversal of the longstanding guidance to avoid peanuts. Following the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases' formal recommendation in 2017, the introduction

According to a recent study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research, pregnant women with ulcerative colitis are at a higher risk of delivering small-for-gestational-age infants. The research, conducted by a team of investigators at the Kochi University School of Medicine, analyzed data from a large-scale nationwide cohort
Clinical trials
Research has been conducted to evaluate the effect of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) combined with 100% oxygen on atelectasis during emergence from anesthesia after one-lung ventilation (OLV) with a bronchial blocker in infants receiving thoracoscopic lobectomies. The study aimed to assess whether the use of PEEP with 100% oxygen could
Clinical trials
Researchers have highlighted the need for more representative and inclusive clinical trials that account for the unique needs of pregnant and lactating individuals. According to a recent study, there is a lack of knowledge among health care providers and patients about clinical trials during pregnancy, making it challenging to engage

Recent research conducted by scientists at Jinan University in Guangdong, People's Republic of China, has shed light on the effectiveness of probiotics in preventing allergic rhinitis (AR) and atopic sensitization (AS) in infants. The study, published in the World Allergy Organization Journal, involved a systematic review and meta-analysis

New research out of France has made significant findings in the field of oncology, specifically focusing on neuroblastomas in infants. According to investigators from the Pediatric Oncology Department, neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in infants, with a possibility of spontaneous regression even in disseminated disease. Despite a
Food hypersensitivity
A large Northwestern Medicine study reveals that white parents are more likely to introduce peanut-containing foods to their infants, reducing the risk of peanut allergies later in childhood. However, parents from racial and ethnic minority groups, lower-income families, and those with less formal education are less likely to receive this
Food hypersensitivity
A new study published in Academic Pediatrics has found that despite clear guidelines recommending early introduction of peanuts to infants to reduce the risk of peanut allergies, many parents, particularly those from racial and ethnic minority groups and lower-income backgrounds, are not receiving this potentially lifesaving guidance from their pediatricians.
Food hypersensitivity
A recent Northwestern University study has revealed alarming disparities in the guidance parents receive from their pediatricians on introducing peanuts to their infants. The study, published in Academic Pediatrics, surveyed over 3,000 U.S. parents of children aged seven to 42 months and found significant racial and socioeconomic disparities
Infants
Families worldwide, including in the UK, are facing an alarming rise in the risk of childhood illnesses due to faltering vaccine coverage. The nation's health is threatened as measles, whooping cough, and other once-controlled diseases are taking hold once more. Vaccine uptake has stalled or even reversed in
Infants
Falling vaccination rates among children globally, including in the UK, have put kids at risk and put additional pressure on the NHS. The health of the nation is being threatened due to health and societal inequalities, the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and rising levels of misinformation and hesitancy
