Maintaining phenylalanine (Phe) levels within the desired range (120-360 µmol/L) can be increasingly difficult as children grow older, gain more autonomy, and are affected by social influences. After exhausting outpatient intervention measures with 5 patients with severe PAH deficiency, hospitalization was pursued. Phe levels rapidly decreased in all cases. Despite the inability for 3 of the 5 patients to maintain optimal dietary adherence after hospitalization, the information gained regarding the patients’ protein tolerance was invaluable. Our clinic has found this approach to be a useful tool in the ongoing management of patients with PAH deficiency and will continue to consider hospitalization for our patients who are failing outpatient management.","PeriodicalId":398639,"journal":{"name":"ICAN: Infant, Child, & Adolescent Nutrition","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117343914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the past 2 decades a dramatic increase of pediatric feeding via tube has been reported, which has resulted in a higher prevalence of feeding tube dependency (FTD). Several treatment programs for FTD have been established over the past 2 decades, but only a few with detailed outlines and definitions of terms have been published. This article will outline the home-based tube weaning program as well review existing evidence. Program Outline. The home-based treatment program is a new treatment modality that allows children to stay in a home environment during treatment. The underlying condition as well as the treatment in its 5 phases have been outlined: assessment, preparation, hunger induction, intensive treatment, and follow-up. Treatment Outcome. Three articles regarding the treatment outcomes of home-based FTD treatment were reviewed. The results of this review show that the success rate of the treatment program has been consistently 90% of the involved cases, with major improvements i...","PeriodicalId":398639,"journal":{"name":"ICAN: Infant, Child, & Adolescent Nutrition","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115545672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To study longitudinal macronutrient concentrations of colostrum and mature human milk (HM) and test the hypothesis that colostrum concentration of a given macronutrient might predict the concentration of this macronutrient in mature milk. Methods. We collected samples of expressed HM obtained from mothers of full-term infants. Each mother contributed 2 samples of HM—the first during 72 hours after labor (colostrum) and the second after 14 days. Macronutrient contents of the samples were measured using infrared transmission spectroscopy. Results. In all, 57 women were recruited. Only 44 of them gave both colostrum and 14-day samples. The energy, fat, and carbohydrate content of mature milk was significantly higher than that in colostrum, whereas the opposite was found for protein content. There was no significant relationship between maternal weight for height and protein, fat, or lactose content at any stage. Energy, fat, and protein content in colostrum did not correlate with values in mature milk. ...","PeriodicalId":398639,"journal":{"name":"ICAN: Infant, Child, & Adolescent Nutrition","volume":"168 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126946634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wellness councils were established in 7 elementary schools in Harlem and Washington Heights, New York City (NYC), to help these schools implement the NYC district wellness policy. Data on 4 wellness council process indicators and wellness council self-evaluation scores were correlated with obesity prevention process outcomes using Kendall tau correlations. An average of 8.9 (standard deviation = 0.7) wellness council meetings were held per school throughout the 10-month academic year. The average attendance at each meeting ranged from 7.1 to 15.2 members.
