TL;DR: These results showed a benefit of supplementing formulas for premature infants with AA and DHA from either a fish/fungal or an egg-TG/fish source from the time of first enteral feeding to 12 months' CA.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Information is provided on the pre- and post-conception use of oral folic acid with or without a multivitamin/micronutrient supplement for the prevention of neural tube defects and other congenital anomalies to help physicians, midwives, nurses, and other health care workers to assist in the education of women about the proper use and dosage of folic Acid/multivitamin supplementation before and during pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eugenie Hartmann,Jeri S. Janowsky,Alan Lucas,Dean Margeson,Patricia Mena,Martha Neuringer,Gail Ross,Lynn T. Singer,Terence Stephenson,Joanne S Szabo,Vance Zemon +20 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that, despite a slower early growth rate, human milk fed LBW infants have development at least comparable to that of infants fed nutrient-enriched formula.
Journal ArticleDOI
Folate status of the population in the Canadian Health Measures Survey
TL;DR: Folate deficiency is virtually nonexistent in the Canadian population, although high folate concentrations are evident and ongoing monitoring of the folate status of Canadians and the relationship between red blood cell folate and health outcomes is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Supplemental Donor Human Milk Compared With Preterm Formula on Neurodevelopment of Very Low-Birth-Weight Infants at 18 Months: A Randomized Clinical Trial

TL;DR: Use of supplemental donor milk compared with formula did not improve neurodevelopment at 18 months' corrected age among VLBW infants, and this outcome should not be considered a treatment goal.
