Quantitative decision making for investment in global health intervention trials
Background: Partners from an NGO, academia, industry and government applied a tool originating in the private sector - Quantitative Decision Making (QDM) - to rigorously assess whether to invest in testing a global health intervention. The proposed NEWBORN study was designed to assess whether topical emollient therapy with sunflower seed oil in infants with very low birthweight <1500 g in Kenya would result in a significant reduction in neonatal …
Topical emollient therapy with sunflower seed oil alters the skin microbiota of young children with severe acute malnutrition in Bangladesh
BACKGROUND: Topical emollient therapy with sunflower seed oil (SSO) reduces risk of sepsis and mortality in very preterm infants in low- or middle-income countries (LMICs). Proposed mechanisms include modulation of skin and possibly gut barrier function. The skin and gut microbiota play important roles in regulating barrier function, but the effects of emollient therapy on these microbiotas are poorly understood. METHODS: We characterised microbi…
Topical emollient therapy in the management of severe acute malnutrition in children under two
BACKGROUND: Topical emollient therapy can improve neonatal health and growth and potentially provides an additional avenue for augmenting the provision of nutrition to children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM). We hypothesised that topical treatment of hospitalised children with SAM using sunflower seed oil (SSO), in addition to standard-of-care for SAM, would improve skin barrier function and weight gain, reduce risk of infection, and accele…
Audiologic Outcomes and Management of Infants with Hyperbilirubinemia
The present study aimed to investigate the time course of audiologic manifestations of infants with hyperbilirubinemia and examine the management strategies for these infants. Seven infants (6 male, 1 female) with hyperbilirubinemia or neonatal jaundice received audiologic assessments including auditory brainstem response (ABR) and transient evoked oto-acoustic emissions from birth. Their gestational age ranged from 26 to 40 weeks and chronologic…
