Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an evidence-based therapy for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), the leading cause of death for preterm infants globally....Ethiopian Neonatal Network (ENN) teams identified a quality gap in CPAP use for preterm infants with RDS. We sought to use remote education and mentorship without additional resources to improve CPAP use in this population....Results: The launch of the QI collaborative with remote education and mentoring coincided with an increase in the documentation of Downes score on admission (57.8% to 95.6%) and number of preterm infants (

Of 128 patients with positive cultures (92 blood and 36 pleural fluid), most were infants in the pre-PCV7 (77.1%) and post-PCV7 (43.3%) studies, while in the post-PCV13 study they were mostly preschoolers (62%).

As a result, serum IgG to this public epitope is prevalent among diverse cohorts of nonallergic peanut-consuming infants and peanut-allergic children and adults. This work demonstrates that IgG recognition of dietary antigens can be intrinsically programmed by the germline antibody repertoire.

Commercial foods for infants and young children are prominent on supermarket shelves in Australia, with parents commonly believing they are a healthy choice, yet evidence shows many commercial foods are nutrient-poor....The most advertised categories of commercial infant and toddler foods were fruit purees (40%), snacks (27%), and confectionary (12%); 74% of advertised commercial foods were labelled for infants under 12 months; 26% were labelled for toddlers 12-36 months of age; and 50% of products were packaged in...Foods promoted for infants and young children in Australian supermarket catalogues are misaligned with the recommendations within Australia's Infant Feeding Guidelines.

Importance: In 2023, new immunization strategies became available for preventing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) hospitalizations in infants and older adults....The population of King County was disaggregated into infants younger than 6 months, infants aged 6 to 11 months, children aged 1 to 4 years, children/adults aged 5 to 59 years, adults aged 60 to 74 years, and adults aged 75 years or older....Results: The RSV transmission model simulated the population of King County, which includes approximately 2.3 million individuals, with 23 700 infants younger than 1 year and 446 500 adults aged 60 years or older....During the 2023 to 2024 RSV season, 21.2% of adults aged 60 to 74 years, 32.7% of adults aged 75 years or older, and 33.0% of infants were protected through active or passive immunization....Targeting infants eligible for catch-up doses of nirsevimab early in the season increased the proportion of RSV hospitalizations averted in infants aged 6 to 11 months from 31.7% (95% PI, 29.4%-33.9%) to 40.4% (95% PI, 39.0%-42.1%).

This study aims to assess the vitamin D status and its determinants among infants and toddlers in Hong Kong, two of the most vulnerable groups at risk of vitamin D insufficiency....Results: 124 (14.0%) infants and toddlers were vitamin D insufficient and 44 (5.0%) were vitamin D deficient, with higher prevalence observed among younger infants (aged 2 to 6 months)....An increment of 100IU in total daily vitamin D intake lowered the risk of vitamin D insufficiency (aOR = 0.50, p < 0.001) in older infants and toddlers....Being breastfed increased vitamin D insufficiency risk in younger infants (aOR = 24.91, p < 0.001) and in older infants and toddlers (aOR = 7.36, p < 0.001)....Conclusion: Low total vitamin D intake and lack of supplementation practice were the key contributing factors to vitamin D insufficiency among infants and toddlers in Hong Kong.
