Abstract

To compare the flow rates of formula of various thicknesses through bottle nipples. Multiple crossover design. Laboratory experiment. No human subjects. We used established methods to test the flow rates of UltraPreemie; Preemie; Newborn; and Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 nipples with three thicknesses of formula: thin, slightly thick, and mildly thick. We used descriptive statistics to calculate mean flow rates (milliliters per minute) and standard deviation, from which we calculated the coefficient of variation. We used cluster analysis to identify nipple types and thicknesses with comparable flow rates. Flow rates ranged from less than 1 ml/min for the Preemie nipple with mildly thick formula to 82.29 ml/min for the Level 4 nipple with thin formula. As expected, within each nipple type, increased thickness of formula resulted in decreased flow. Increased thickness of formula also resulted in an increased variability in flow rate. For nearly all nipple types, mildly thick consistency resulted in the greatest amount of variability in flow. We identified seven clusters of nipple types and formula thicknesses with comparable flow rates. These data provide clinicians with information to guide decision making about nipple choice when thic...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.
