Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition

CPN works to improve the survival and #health of humans and animals in #earlylife with focus on #development, #health and #disease, #nutrition and #infections.

After 23 years at KU, our section head Stine Bering decided to pursue a next career step outside academia from May 1, 2024. Thanks for massive efforts that Stine have contributed to the success of CPN section. Prof. Thomas Thymann will step in to become our new section head.

In our newly published paper, we confirm that #IGF-1 plays a role in early postnatal growth in very #preterm #infants fed fortified human milk. See more at: https://t.co/9EIxmkM6nS

We keep increasing our knowledge on how to optimize source and processing of #whey protein concentrate to provide less modified and more native protein for infant formula for the benefit of #infant development. New paper out!

Data across hospitals on five continents documents the positive association between early initiation of parenteral #nutrition and #growth in #preterm infants with no increase in mortality or important morbidities. Check out our new publication https://t.co/PAEJYFrJMJ

Our new preclinical study provides evidence of a sustained effect of IGF-1 supplementation to improve #gut health and development in #preterm pigs in the first few weeks after preterm birth.

One of our group leaders @Ninhnd85 just got a new research grant from Novo Nordisk to expand our work on prevention of neonatal sepsis.

[Ninh Nguyen @Ninhnd85]

Happy to share that we get a 3-year grant from @novonordiskfond to expand our work on mechanisms of how early life #nutrition and #vaccines can save lives of infected #newborns. Inspired by findings from infant cohorts by @StabellBenn and rodent studies by @nelly_amenyogbe, we…

We need to pay attention to Maillard reaction products when feeding ready-to-feed liquid infant formulas to #preterm neonates. Our newest results are now online pointing towards local #gut effects more than systemic #immunity and #kidney being affected.

During the last parallel nutrition session @JENS_Congress, PhD students Lin Yang and Malene Spiegelhauer presented their data on colostrum and fecal virome transplantation, respectively, for reduction of necrotizing enterocolitis in preterms. Thanks for a great conference🙏

Post doc Kristine Holgersen is following up from Ole Bæk’s presentation on secondary analysis from FortiColos, looking at glucose-regulatory hormones and growth @JENS_Congress

[Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition @cpn_ucph]

Post doc Ole Bæk is presenting secondary outcomes of our FortiColos randomized clinical trial: Risk of infection in preterm infants fortified with bovine colostrum @JENS_Congress

[Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition @cpn_ucph]

You wonder about the effects of fecal virome transfer in relation to prevention og necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm neonates? PhD student Simone Offersen presented beautiful data on this @JENS_Congress

[Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition @cpn_ucph]

Professor Per Sangild just presented our newly developed pig model of birth asphyxia and the benefits of dietary plasma supplementation on gut maturation @JENS_Congress

[Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition @cpn_ucph]

PhD student Jingren Zhong is heading for the podium again to present our data on IGF-1 supplementation on kidney development in the preterm neonate @JENS_Congress

[Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition @cpn_ucph]

Does the beta-casein levels in infant formula matter for gut and immune maturation? Check out post doc Kristine Holgersens poster @JENS_Congress

[Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition @cpn_ucph]

Proud of the work done by post doc Yongxin Ye in presenting the metabolomics response to feeding infant formula with gently-processed whey protein ingredients @JENS_Congress.

[Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition @cpn_ucph]

The oral talk by PhD student Jingren Zhong on citrulline supplementation, #infection and
#sepsis @JENS_Congress was well received.

[Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition @cpn_ucph]

A PostDoc of CPN@cpn_ucph, Mudi just prensented her fascinating work on a case-control study of late-onset sepsis nested in our FortiColos trial. With her presentation, CPN embarks its trip at #jENS conference 2023.😃

[Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition @cpn_ucph]

Tomorrow, we head to the @JENS_Congress in Rome. We have 20 abstracts for oral and poster presentations within #brain and #nutrition session, and look forward to great talks, inspiration and interaction with the #neonatal community.

[Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition @cpn_ucph]

CPN summer camp: Beautiful nature and great food, company and social activities while discussing CPN research visions and culture. Thanks to Professor Gorm Greisen for sharing his thoughts on how we best support #neonatal development from a clinical perspective.

[Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition @cpn_ucph]

We have reached a milestone in our NEOCOL research network @Innofond with the publication of our PreColos RCT with bovine #colostrum to supplement the first feeding of very #preterm #infants. The study involves seven hospital partners in South China.
