Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced occurrence of early atopic dermatitis because of immunoactive prebiotics among low-atopy-risk infants
Christoph Grüber,Margriet van Stuijvenberg,Fabio Mosca,Guido E. Moro,Gaetano Chirico,Christian Braegger,Josef Riedler,Günther Boehm,Ulrich Wahn +8 more
TL;DR: Formula supplementation with a specific mixture of oligosaccharides was effective as primary prevention of atopic dermatitis in low atopy risk infants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiinfective Properties of Human Milk
TL;DR: The protection from infections may be ensured either passively by factors with antiinfective, hormonal, enzymatic, trophic, and bioactive activity present in breast milk, or through a modulator effect on the neonatal immune system exerted by cells, cytokines, and other immune agents in human milk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-Related Changes in Intracellular Th1/Th2 Cytokine Production, Immunoproliferative T Lymphocyte Response and Natural Killer Cell Activity in Newborns, Children and Adults
Antonella Gasparoni,Laura Ciardelli,Antonia Avanzini,Anna Maria Castellazzi,Roberta Carini,Giorgio Rondini,Gaetano Chirico +6 more
TL;DR: A gradual development of immunity during gestation is suggested and significant immaturity of cellular immune response at birth is shown, to contribute to the neonatal increased risk of infection and to the low incidence of graft-versus-host disease after cord blood transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intravenous gammaglobulin therapy for prophylaxis of infection in high-risk neonates.
Gaetano Chirico,Gaetano Chirico,Giorgio Rondini,Giorgio Rondini,A Plebani,A Plebani,Alberto Chiara,Alberto Chiara,Margherita Massa,Margherita Massa,Alberto G. Ugazio,Alberto G. Ugazio +11 more
TL;DR: In the infants with birth weight greater than 1500 g receiving intensive care and assisted ventilation, no significant differences were observed in the incidence of infection or septicemia in treated and control infants.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, lung ultrasound was used for the diagnosis of pneumothorax in the sudden decompensating patient and showed high accuracy in detecting pneumothors in the critical infants.
