Summary: To check whether the first 12 hours of MII-pH recording are sufficient to diagnose GERD among newborns/infants, with a diagnostic accuracy similar to 24 hours of recording as currently advised.
Summary: Laryngomalacia (LM) is the most common cause of stridor in infants. Symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are often seen in the setting of LM; therefore, acid suppression therapy (AST) has been empirically used in the management of this disorder. The investigators recently performed a retrospective chart review assessing improvement of airway and dysphagia symptoms, weight gain, and need for s...
Summary: Premature infants have high rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) due to prematurity of the participants' lungs and the need for prolonged respiratory support. These infants are at increased risk for gastroesophageal reflux and aspiration which may exacerbate lung injury. Transpyloric feeds, specifically duodenal feeds, may be used to bypass the stomach and directly feed the duodenum decreasin...
Summary: To compare the frequency of regurgitation and other digestive outcomes between infants who receive an infant formula based on whole goat milk and an infant formula based on cow milk proteins during the transition period from breastfeeding to formula feeding, using predominantly breastfed infants as a reference group.
Summary: Introduction Pierre Robin Sequence, PRS, incidence is about one hundred births per year in France. The main neonatal clinical manifestations are secondary to airway obstruction and food difficulties related to swallowing disorders. Despite recent progress, the pathogenesis of PRS is not fully understood. The hypothesis is that brainstem dysfunction, BSD, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of...
Summary: Due to several promoting factors, gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) is very frequent in preterm infants. To limit the potentially harmful widespread of pharmacological treatment, a step-wise approach, which firstly undertakes conservative strategies, is currently considered the best choice to manage GER in the preterm population. Among the most common conservative strategies, postural measures seem t...
