Depression in pregnant Hispanic women: Risk factors, pregnancy outcomes and plasma cytokines Open
Prenatal depression occurs in early pregnancy and then declines in Hispanic women. The frequency of depression and stress were higher in U.S. born compared to immigrant Hispanic women. There was an elevation in plasma levels of TNF-α throu…

Neonatal Diet Type and Associations With Adverse Feeding Outcomes in Neonates With Critical Congenital Heart Defects Open
Background: Neonates with critical congenital heart defects (CCHD neonates) experience high rates of feeding intolerance, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and malnutrition. The benefits of human milk and direct chest/breastfeeding are well…

A Feasibility Study to Assess Sleep and Subsequent Breast Milk Volume Among Mothers With Hospitalized Preterm Infants Open
Background: Sleep is essential for optimal health, and disturbed postpartum sleep is associated with compromised infant attachment. The postpartum experience of mothers with preterm infants is unlike the biological norm, as they are separa…

Tryptophan metabolism and immune alterations in pregnant Hispanic women with chronic <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> infection Open
Problem Pregnancy markedly modifies women's metabolism and immune functions. We hypothesized that pregnancy might alter the immune and metabolic responses to chronic Toxoplasma gondii infection in pregnancy. Method of study A population of…

Impact of Intrapartum Antibiotic Prophylaxis on Offspring Microbiota Open
Infants are born into a world filled with microbes and must adapt without undue immune response while exploiting the microbiota's ability to produce otherwise unavailable nutrients. The process by which humans and microbes establish this r…

The Gut Microbiome as a Component of the Gut–Brain Axis in Cognitive Health Open
Introduction: The human microbiome, the microorganisms living in and on the body, plays a vital role in brain physiology and pathophysiology. The gut microbiome (GMB) has been identified as a link in the gut–brain axis moderating cognitive…

Effect of Promoter Polymorphisms on Cytokine Concentration in Preterm Breast Milk and Subsequent Infant Outcomes Open
Background: Breast milk concentrations of immune components are variable between women and interleukin (IL) differences may be associated with infant outcomes. Molecular mechanisms for milk variability remain unknown. Objective: The aims w…
