Preoptic temperature during oral and intragastric feeding

Prepacked milk feeds for continuous intragastric feeding.

could record the impressions that have led me to think that despite the conclusions quoted above deputizing services probably do not provide the best patient care. TIhe only drugs we were given were morphine, pethidine, adrenaline, aminophyl&ine, ergometrine, amylobarbitone sodium, A.P.C, and free samples, which were usually of the less commonly indicated antibiotics. Many of the deputies bough...

The Effect of Oral Motor Intervention on Oral Feeding Readiness and Feeding Progression in Preterm Infants

Background: Advances in neonatal intensive care have markedly improved survival in preterm infants. These babies need hospitalization due to the immaturity of the respiratory and digestive systems. The timing for the initiation of proper feeding in premature infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is an important challenge for physicians, parents, and...

Hypothalamic Temperature in Unanesthetized Albino Rats during Feeding and Sleeping.

ABRAMS, ROBERT, AND H. T. HAMMEL. Hypothalamic temperature in unanesthetized albino rats during feeding and sleeping. Am. J Physiol. 206(3) : 641-646. Ig64.-Stainless steel and polyethylene reentrant tubes were implanted permanently in the brain and abdominal cavity of male albino rats. Thermocouples were placed in the tubes and the leads were counterweighted over the rat cage. Temperatures wer...

Infant Feeding Pattern and Frequency of Oral Candidiasis

Listeria monocytogenes intragastric and intraperitoneal approximate 50% lethal doses for mice are comparable, but death occurs earlier by intragastric feeding.

The intraperitoneal (i.p.) and intragastric (i.g.) mouse approximate 50% lethal dose values (ALD50S) were determined for 15 food and clinical isolates of Listeria monocytogenes. Although all strains gave i.g. ALD50S comparable to or less than their i.p. ALD50S, the i.g. feeding of most strains produced more deaths within the first 3 days of the 6-day test than did i.p. injection. ALD50S ranged ...
