Researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center have detected high levels of adiponectin in human milk, a protein that may help regulate body fat and reduce the risk of obesity. The study suggests that early exposure to this protein through breast milk could influence metabolic health later in life.
A new study by Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center has identified a strain of E. coli as the cause of diarrhea in young children. The research, which used genetic technology, found that nearly 10% of children treated for gastroenteritis tested positive for enteroaggregative E. coli.
A recent study published in Pediatrics found that breastfeeding for at least 28 days is associated with a 20% lower risk of dying between 28 days and one year of age.
