Recently, Nature Made®, in partnership with the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), attended the national American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) annual meeting in San Francisco. Nature Made participated alongside other wellness companies in CRN’s specially designed “Prenatal Nutrition Center” booth to provide health care professionals (HCPs) with the education, resources and tools needed to understand and support the safe use of prenatal supplements during pregnancy. At the booth, members of our Medical and Scientific Communications team, Melissa Dorval Pine, RDN, Kalyn Williams, RDN and Sandra Zagorin MS, RD , hosted a vitamin gummy sampling station and distributed infographics of Pharmavite’s recent scientific publications and informational handouts for healthcare professionals. In addition, Nature Made helped sponsor the Product Theater session, “Front and Center with Prenatal Supplements: What the Science Says, and What HCPs Need to Know”. The session featured esteemed speakers Dr. Kecia Gaither, MD, MPH, MS, MBA, FACOG, FAIUM, and Dr. Michael I McBurney, PhD, FASN, FCNS-SCN, who discussed the science behind prenatal supplements and what healthcare providers need to know to advise their patients effectively. This session was highly attended, and OBGYNs who participated received full-sized Nature Made Choline gummy vitamin bottles. Up next for the Nature Made MSC team is the American Academy of Family Physicians annual meeting (FMX) in Phoenix this September. https://lnkd.in/geTfhEgp

Pre-eclampsia is a serious and common pregnancy-induced condition which can occur in the second half of pregnancy. Symptoms typically include high blood pressure, sudden swelling, leakage of protein into the urine and rapid weight gain due to fluid retention. Although the exact cause of pre-eclampsia remains unknown, it is thought to begin with improperly developed placental blood vessels. There is also compelling evidence that in many cases pre-eclampsia has a genetic basis. Other possible contributing factors for pre-eclampsia include endothelial dysfunction, inflammatory activation and oxidative stress. Recently, the role of maternal nutrition in the aetiology of pre-eclampsia has gained increased attention. The similarities between pre-eclampsia and atherosclerosis suggest that the actions of dietary lipids, such as omega-3 fatty acids, may be of particular importance. Studies also support the hypothesis that supplementation of antioxidant nutrients such as selenium and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) may be beneficial in reducing oxidative stress in women at risk of developing pre-eclampsia. Early onset pre-eclampsia has been linked to altered placental DNA methylation. There may be a link between choline as a major methyl donor and dysregulated placental methylation. Recent evidence has associated choline supplementation to a reduction in an anti-angiogenic factor that is elevated in pre-eclampsia. Always be assessed by a qualified health professional, and consider seeing a Naturopath for nutritional support and lifestyle guidance. ------------------- Source: Fx Medicine #fertility #conception #pregnancyhealth

Published in Clinical Nutrition our recent article on enhancing the transition process for children with chronic intestinal failure on home parenteral nutrition as they move from pediatric to adult health care. Our study addresses a critical need for a standardized protocol to ensure children with this complex, rare disease continue to receive optimal care into adulthood. We collaborated with 80 health care professionals from 33 medical centers of the Intestinal Failure working group of European Reference Network for Rare Inherited Congenital (gastrointestinal and digestive) Anomalies (ERNICA ) and the Network of Intestinal Failure and Intestinal Transplant in Europe (NITE) group - European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN). Together with experts in the chronic intestinal failure field we identified key strategies to make transition from pediatric to adult health care smoother and more effective.

"🔬 A groundbreaking study reveals intriguing findings about preterm infants' gut microbiome. 👶 'Effect of an Exclusive Human Milk Diet on the Gut Microbiome in Preterm Infants: A Randomized Clinical Trial' explores the differences between an all-human milk diet and a diet incorporating bovine products in preterm infants. 📊 Results: No significant differences in bacterial richness or diversity. Exclusive human milk diet showed reduced Lactobacillus abundance, though not significant post-adjustment. No variance in time to full feeds or major neonatal morbidities. 🧬 Conclusion: The study suggests that while an exclusive human milk diet affects certain gut bacteria, overall bacterial diversity remains unaffected. This raises interesting questions about the role of nutrition in shaping gut microbiome and health outcomes in preterm infants. 📘 Authors: Nicholas Embleton, Thomas Sproat, PharmD, Sabita Uthaya, Gregory R Young, Shalabh Garg, Vimal Vasu, Andrea C Masi, LAUREN BECK, Neena Modi, CHRISTOPHER STEWART, Janet Berrington https://lnkd.in/dG3BiKJX #Pediatrics #Neonatology #GutMicrobiome #HumanMilkDiet #MedicalResearch #CME"

Colostrum, the first milk for a newborn, is packed with compounds that shape the gut microbiota at a critical time when it's just being established. Emerging research highlights the vital role of colostrum in promoting a healthy microbiota, which is increasingly recognized as essential for healthy growth. However, this is a pressing issue—globally, less than half of newborns are fully fed colostrum. Most of the evidence linking the microbiota to the prevention of undernutrition has been shown in juvenile or adult pre-clinical models, even though stunting begins before weaning. This latest study aims to uncover how colostrum and the microbiota it induces contribute to growth promotion. Addressing this could be key to better early-life nutrition strategies. We used National Imaging Facility (NIF) Infrastructure at Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis - The CMCA- Micro-CT imaging for quantifying White Adipose Tissue (WAT), Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) and bone analysis. It was a pleasure collaborating with the team on this one! Congratulations Lieke van den Elsen, PhD Valerie Verhasselt and the entire team!

Staff-Led Loving Workflows in Care Delivery 💙 ♦ A Loving Organization - Culture Change ♦ Train the Trainer Facilitator Certification Program for Leaders & Managers ♦ 20 Years Consulting, Training, Speaking in Healthcare
James Barry, MD, MBA - Love your caring work! I think in its quests for understanding, HC focuses in on parts of the body divorcing itself from the whole, including nature and the universe. Bad nutrition is bad for all living things, including living things yet to be born. Feed any living thing crap food for which they are not designed to process and problems will emerge, yes? Can you believe robust nutrition courses are not taught in med or nursing schools? Neither is systems thinking that would allow physicians to take more of a holistic approach to working with the whole patient. I feel for caring physicians working in an evermore toxic industrialized HC system that focuses on maximizing profits at the expense of staff and patients. We can make things much better for physicians and patients through staff-led care delivery systems/workflow improvements. The caveat? Staff, too, will have to grow and change beyond what they are today. As Einstein reminds, "We can't solve problems with the same thinking used to create them." That's exactly what HC has been doing for decades as systems deteriorate, now so bad they're burning out staff in mass. 💙💙 #ALovingOrganization #LovingWorkflows #3DHealthcare #LovingSystemsThinking

👀 Keep an eye on this. It may not be headline capturing (but should be)-- neonatal/infant nutrition is necessary for lifelong health. Studies demonstrate that a nutritional/physiological environment during fetal, neonatal, and infant life can set an individual's lifelong metabolism/physiology. In a "thrifty phenotype" (as seen in growth restricted fetuses and newborns), an individual is more prone to hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary artery ds; the "Barker Hypothesis" or "Fetal Origins of Adult Disease." https://lnkd.in/gTHtg7ZD. Nutrition for newborns, infants, and children is important for life long health. Cause = Effect is difficult elucidate in clinical trials. But data would suggest early early optimal nutrition, esp in preterm infants, can positively influence neurodevelopmental outcomes. (https://lnkd.in/gWUHkis2) Recent verdicts may impact future nutritional options: https://lnkd.in/gE4Jwz3m This case and others are focused on necrotizing enterocolitis -NEC (a devastating intestinal pathology) which causes significant morbidity and even death in newborns. The cause of NEC is multifactorial and not completely understood. The two basic factors being: premature babies that have been fed (neither truly modifiable today). Babies need nutrition and enteral feeds are best. Premature babies continue to be born. Using human breast milk to feed preterm infants may reduce the risk of NEC, but it does not eliminate this risk. Unfortunately, not all babies (even prematurely born ones) can be provided breast milk, even though this is always the goal in neonatal ICUs and nurseries. Some maternal medications and conditions (i.e. mothers with cancer on chemotherapy) are contra-indicated in feeding breastmilk. An alternative to a mother's own breast milk can be donor breast milk, but it is expensive and not available in every nursery or NICU as there are limitations in supply and payment options. Other options historically have been specialty pre-term formulas or parenteral nutrition (both with benefits and disadvantages). These formulas, designed for preterm infants' unique requirements, have been an alternative & essential source of nutrition for decades. "We need public policy to expand access to pasteurized human donor milk, including policies that support improved governmental and private financial support for donor milk banks. More than 300,000 infants are born prematurely every year, and we must take steps to protect the supply of infant formula for those who need it."-- from Benjamin Hoffman, MD, FAAP, president, American Academy of Pediatrics. 😱 My fear- babies may not get important nutrition during very critical developmental windows AND that necessary research on neonatal nutrition & its impacts may be significantly impeded. #UsingWhatWeHaveBetter

Summary of the Medical Conference on Malignant Diseases @cancers, held in Berlin - Germany Some critical points to note: 1. No to reusing oil 2. No powdered milk 3. No Maggie Cubes 4. No carbonated juice (32 sugar cubes per liter) 5. No processed sugars 6. No microwave 7. No prenatal mammogram, but echomamar can be used 8. Don't wear bras that are too tight or wear them after work 9. No to alcohol 10. No reheating frozen meals 11. Do not store water in the refrigerator in plastic bottles. 12. Not all birth control pills are good because they alter a woman's hormonal system and cause cancer. 13. Deodorants are dangerous, especially when used after shaving. 14. Breastfeeding is less likely to cause cancer than formula. 15. Cancer cells eat mostly sugar and all artificial sugar, even brown. 16. Some cancer patients who abstain from sugar in the diet find that the disease has receded and can live long life. Sugar = the mortal enemy. 17. A cup of beer stays in the body for 5 hours, and during this time the organs of the system work in slow motion because of this cup Yes to: 1️⃣ Vegetables 2⃣ Honey in reasonable quantity instead of sugar 3⃣ Vegetable proteins like beans instead of meat 4 ⃣ two glasses of water on an empty stomach before brushing your teeth and upon waking by drinking water kept in the room at the same room temperature 5️⃣ Unheated meals 6⃣ Anti-cancer juice: Aloe vera + ginger + parsley + celery + bromelain (pineapple middle).. Mix and drink on an empty stomach. 7⃣ Other anti-cancer juices: Corosol (seedless) + Bromalain. 8⃣ Eat raw or cooked carrots or their juice every day. The American Physicians Association gave answers to the cause of cancer: 1️⃣ Don't drink tea from a plastic cup 2️⃣ Do not eat anything hot in a paper or plastic bag. Example: potatoes (fries). 3️⃣ Do not use plastic in the microwave Recall: 🔴 When plastic comes in contact with heat, it creates chemicals that can cause 52 types of cancer. 🔴 This message is worth more than 100 useless short messages. 🔴 Inform your loved ones in order to be far away from these bad things. Please share this medical report as widely as possible for others to benefit from it۔
