Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialPooled pasteurized breast milk and untreated own mother's milk in the feeding of very low birth weight babies: a randomized controlled trial.
It has been shown that milk derived from mothers with term infants is not optimal for premature babies. There is also concern about the effect of heat sterilizing breast milk. At Baragwanath Hospital, the majority of mothers remain with and care for their premature babies. ⋯ This occurred in spite of the fact that there was little difference, especially in terms of energy content, between the two types of breast milk. This was due to the fact that the pooled pasteurized milk was also largely obtained from mothers of premature babies. It is suggested from our data that slower weight gain in the group receiving the pooled pasteurized milk could be due to the pasteurization, which probably destroys heat-labile milk lipase.

This chapter reminds those who provide abortion services that crises are inevitable in the medical, counselling and administrative areas of the facility. After more than 10 years of providing safe, legal abortions, the author notes that the different types of crises that occur are already known and that it is possible to prepare for them. Indeed, it is necessary to prepare for a crisis before it occurs. ⋯ When a medical crisis, as listed, has occurred, the patient should be rapidly transported to the hospital and observed there for a suitable period of time. A medical crisis must be treated as the life-threatening event that it is, regardless of personal ego damage, social disruptions and/or financial considerations. The more personnel trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the better.

Fifty-nine Turkish infants in metropolitan Stockholm and two adjacent communities have been studied regarding food consumption pattern. The infants were breastfed for a shorter period than expected in Turkey and shorter than in Swedish children. Illiterate mothers breastfed longer than those who had received some kind of education. ⋯ Some problems were noted with the bottle feeding, most importantly with regard to hygienic practices, dangerous especially on summer visits to Turkey. Unsatisfactory handling of bottle feeding was linked to the mother's educational level. Further interest in nutrition education for this and other immigrant groups is important.
