When Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, Trump delayed $20 billion of aid and allowed Puerto Rico to be without power for 181 days.
His botched responses to natural disasters are just a few things you may have forgotten about his presidency.

BREAKING: In a stunning new leaked video, Project 2025’s Director, Paul Dans, just admitted that if Donald Trump is elected, Trump’s agenda on day 1 will mirror Project 2025’s. This is a huge revelation. Retweet so all Americans see this scary leak.

Seldom recognized, many preterm infants grow to catch-up to their term born peers after discharge @ArielSalasMD @stableisotope @NICU_Musings @crmartin90 @NeoResearch_Net @MandyBelfort_MD @AmyHairMD @NECsociety @s_elmrayed pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38747097/

Growth patterns by birth size of children born at 24–29 gestational weeks for the first 3 years. This paper will change the minds of many clinicians regarding how they look at preterm infant growth pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38747097 DOI: 10.1111/ppe.13081 @FentonGrowth @TanisRD @s_elmrayed

Important messages in NICU growth assessments👇
📈Monitor growth patterns not just body weight
🙅♀️Take ‘Failure’ out of Faltering growth
✍🏻 Aim for personalised nutrition

Perhaps helpful practical advice for assessing growth of small ± preterm infants. Thank you for your important work we cited! @FentonGrowth @s_elmrayed @BelalAlshaikh @NeoResearch_Net @MandyBelfort_MD @ArielSalasMD @stableisotope @NICU_Musings

To support the best outcomes, neonatal feeding decisions about how babies are fed in the ICU should be made at patients’ bedsides by the medical team, in collaboration with patient-families, not in courtrooms necsociety.org/wp-content/upl… @NECsociety
NEC Society@NECsociety
Given the litigation involving products used to feed & support the growth of preterm infants & the direct implication for infants who are at risk of & affected by necrotizing enterocolitis, we've released a statement addressing the Watson case necsociety.org/wp-content/upl… #preventNEC

Thank you, Amy, for organizing an excellent conference with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and discuss neonatal nutrition and growth issues! @stableisotope and @ArielSalasMD

@FentonGrowth @stableisotope @ArielSalasMD Thank you Tanis for giving an amazing talk and for answering questions as part of the expert panel!

New work ?s Barker DOHaD hypothesis. Requires re-examination. Need to feed children to appetite/satiety pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38337020/ @jshipra07 @s_elmrayed @NeoResearch_Net @crmartin90 @BelalAlshaikh @NICU_Musings @TanisRD @AmyHairMD @MandyBelfort_MD @NECsociety

A couple of points about the PROBIT trial: 1. as noted, it was randomization to breastfeeding support not bfding, 2. the IQ assessors were not blinded to the mother's interventions, an important risk of bias
Katie Chetta@Chetta_milk_lab
Except that is totally false….PROBIT, the largest randomized controlled trial on human lactation, has found higher IQ scores at age 6.5 years among children randomly assigned at birth into a breastfeeding promotion intervention group than those in routine practice, particularly for verbal IQ.

@crmartin90 @s_elmrayed @Meg_Parker_MD @NICU_Musings @NeoResearch_Net @Epi_D_Nique @BelalAlshaikh @MandyBelfort_MD @stableisotope @TanisRD I totally agree Cami! These findings can reassure parents & clinicians that preterm SGA infants are not at risk of high BMIs / adiposity. So they can be fed to achieve growth outcomes & meet appetite/satiety without undue concern about excess adiposity 🙂 @s_elmrayed

@FentonGrowth @s_elmrayed @Meg_Parker_MD @NICU_Musings @NeoResearch_Net @Epi_D_Nique @BelalAlshaikh @MandyBelfort_MD @stableisotope Congrats on the pub @TanisRD! Interesting. A common SGA question is whether they should be nourished differently than non-SGA. On quick review, results suggest they are not worse off when likely treated the same. Thoughts on how this data may/may not help answer this question?

SGA preterm infants vs AGA: lower BMI: no diff in adiposity by waist circ. Lower lean mass & ht
