Choline is essential for overall infant health. 🚼 Preterm infants often lack sufficient choline, which can lead to serious health problems like 𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 (NEC) (severe intestinal inflammation). ➡ 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: Adding choline to the diets of preterm infants might significantly reduce the risk of NEC and promote better health outcomes. 🥕 Choline can be found in: eggs, meat, fish, dairy, legumes, and vegetables. 👉 Understanding and 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 could lead to better care and healthier futures for our most vulnerable infants. 🔗Link to the full study in the comments ⬇ 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘴: Douglas Drenckpohl, Danielle Christifano, PhD & Susan E Carlson #NeonatalHealth #PretermInfants #Choline #HealthResearch #InfantCare #Nutrition #VisualAbstract #LifeScience #MedicalCommunication #SpringerNature Springer Nature Group #pediatricresearch

𝐈𝐬 𝐕𝐑 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬? 🔍 Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming more popular in paediatrics to reduce anxiety, manage pain, and even provide physical therapy. Despite its promising applications, concerns about safety, especially for children under 14, persist. 🔬 A recent review underscores the need for further research to ensure VR remains a safe and beneficial tool for young patients. ️❗️𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 • Limited evidence suggests short-term VR use might be safe for supervised children under 14. • Mild cybersickness (nausea, dizziness) is a possibility. • Double vision could occur in children with pre-existing amblyopia but disappear once the use of VR is stopped. 👥 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬: Charlotte Bexson, Geralyn Oldham & Jo Wray 📝 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐮𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬! https://shorturl.at/hmK27 #VR #ChildrensHealth #research #sciencecommunication #insights #visualabstract #graphicabstract #pharma
