Values of reducing substances in the stools of premature infants.
14 Dec 2018
Abstract: The increased incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis among newborn infants has prompted research to discover tools for early diagnosis of the disease. Previous studies have shown that elevated levels of fecal reducing sugars precede the symptoms of the disease. This study attempted to establish the relationship between the type of milk feeding and the levels of reducing sugars in stools of premature newborn infants. Thirty-four premature newborn infants were fed either a commercially prepared 20-calorie formula (Enfamil or Similac) or breast milk. Fecal reducing substances were measured with Clinitest tablets. The values were compared using Chi-square and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. Reducing sugars of 1% (3+) or greater appeared more frequently in the stools of the breast-fed infants. There appeared to be a relationship between the type of milk feeding and the level of fecal reducing substances. A cause-effect relationship between the type of milk feeding and the level of fecal reducing substances was not established.

TL;DR: Management by a multi-disciplinary nutritional care team is advocated and should be directed to the maintenance of growth and development, the promotion of intestinal adaptation, the prevention of complications and the establishment of enteral nutrition.
Cows' milk protein-sensitive enteropathy. An important factor in prolonging diarrhoea of acute infective enteritis in early infancy.
TL;DR: The jejunal mucosa of very young infants previously fed a cows' milk protein-based formula and who contract infective enteritis suffers damage when rechallenged with cows' Milk protein.
Acute diarrhea and malnutrition: lethality risk in hospitalized infants.
TL;DR: The association of some factors, such as age less than six months, severe malnutrition, food intolerance and the identification of EPEC strains in the stool culture, indicate a high risk of death in infants hospitalized due to severe acute diarrhea.
Enterotoxic effect of stool supernatant of Cryptosporidium-infected calves on human jejunum

TL;DR: An enterotoxic activity is present in the stools of Cryptosporidium-infected calves and may be responsible for secretory diarrhea in humans.

Chronic diarrhoea caused by monosaccharide malabsorption.
TL;DR: Recently, an infant who since birth presented watery stools due to an insufficient absorption of sugar has been observed, and digestive studies performed on this infant revealed a defective absorption of certain monosaccharides.

TL;DR: Oral tolerance tests were performed upon 4 children with intolerance to the ingestion of sucrose, and to a lesser extent, to starch and indicate that the condition is the result of deficiency of intestinal isomaltase and, probably, of invertase.
