Abstract

Body position affects the gastric emptying rate and hence the amount of gastric residue. This study aims to analyze the effect of the post-feeding position of preterm infants on gastric residue. This experimental study was conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a university hospital (İnönü University Turgut Özal Medical Center) in Eastern Turkey. The study included 40 preterm infants weighing less than 2,000 g, who were fed orogastrically. The preterm infants were sequentially placed in four positions and were fed before each change of position. The infants were sequentially placed in the right lateral, left lateral, supine, and prone positions; their gastric residues were measured with a nasogastric tube. The gastric residue was recorded in percentages at 30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes. Ethical principles were applied in all phases of the study. The lowest mean gastric residue level was observed in the right lateral position at 30 minutes (58.16 ± 12.71%) and 60 minutes (33.97 ± 15.00%). The prone position showed the lowest mean gastric residue level (1.74 ± 1.08%), followed by the right lateral (3.06 ± 1.97%), supine (3.53 ± 2.18%), and left lateral position (5.14 ± 1.85%) at 120 minutes. The final measurements...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
