Preterm neonates are susceptible to gastrointestinal (GI) disorders such as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Maternal milk, and especially colostrum, protects against NEC via growth promoting, immunomodulatory and antimicrobial factors. The fetal enteral diet, amniotic fluid (AF), contains similar b...

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious gastrointestinal disease that afflicts 5-10% of preterm infants, often progresses rapidly from mild food intolerance into extensive haemorrhage, inflammation and necrosis. Events leading to NEC have remained poorly defined. Similar disease characteristics a...

Most hospitalized preterm infants receive antibiotics (AB) in the first days of life to treat or prevent systemic infections. Short-term, early AB treatment may also prevent against the microbiota-dependent serious gut disorder, necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). However, it remains a challenge to pre...

Background: Neonatal infection and sepsis are common for preterm infants due to their immature immune system. Early diagnosis is important for effective treatment but few early markers of systemic and neuro-inflammatory responses in neonates are known. We hypothesized that systemic infection with Gr...

Impaired growth and nutrition after preterm birth is associated with morbidities and poor neurodevelopmental outcome, but it is not clear whether this reflects causal relationships. To improve growth, human milk is often fortified with protein, energy and minerals, providing small, but significant, ...

Preterm infants are highly susceptible to late-onset sepsis (LOS) and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) but specific biomarkers for diagnosis and effective treatment are lacking. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are related to sepsis in adults but not investigated in infant conditions. This is th...
