...: This study was designed to measure the osmolality of 14 commonly used medications in preterm infants both neat and when supplemented with expressed breast milk (EBM), EBM with fortifier (EBMF), preterm formula (PTF), and water. Dose-effect curves were plotted, and the volume of each diluent was calculated...

...: To determine the antiviral activity of crude breast milk and its purified mucins MUC1 and MUC4 against HIV-1 in patients who were HIV positive compared to those who were not. Methods: Twenty-one human milk samples were taken from both groups. Breast milk mucins were purified by density-gradient...

...Katrin Mehler; André Oberthuer; Ruth Lang-Roth; Angela Kribs Background: Very immature preterm infants are at risk of developing symptomatic or severe infection if cytomegalovirus is transmitted via breast milk. It is still a matter of debate whether human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection may lead...

... fed their own mother’s milk (hereafter ‘mother’s milk’) compared with formula-fed infants. It is unclear whether this is caused by the protective properties of breast milk or by the absence of cow’s milk. Especially in early life, mother’s milk is often unavailable to preterm infants, while minimal...

... and through human milk. Neural maturation of breast-fed infants is known to be linked to breast-milk long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid concentrations. In spite of this, the fatty acid composition of breast milk in pre-eclamptic mothers is poorly understood. Objectives: To compare the fatty acid...
