Methods, systems and compositions for the prediction and prevention of parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis using fecal biomarkers

PendingUS20250123298A1Digestive systemDisease diagnosisHigh risk infantPhysiology
Provided are biomarkers for parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC) in subjects, especially infants receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). Using such biomarkers provide methods of diagnosing and / or assessing risk of PNAC in a subject, including screening a sample from a subject believed to be at risk for PNAC for one or more biomarkers of PNAC. The biomarkers can include one or more fecal metabolites. Such biomarkers and associated methods provide neonatal intensive care unit clinicians with an additional tool for early identification of PNAC risk. Early identification of high-risk infants would enable clinicians to confidently optimize caloric nutrition with PN for infants at low risk of developing PNAC and enable proactive mitigation with alterations to the administered PN.

NEONATAL INCUBATOR COVER

The present invention relates to a textile cover for neonatal incubators, designed to improve sensory conditions within neonatal incubators, focusing on protecting premature infants from excessive environmental stimuli. The structure consists of three layers of textile material with complementary properties that significantly reduce exposure to light and noise in the hospital environment. Its rectangular design with corner openings facilitates clinical access to the patient without needing to remove the entire cover, while maintaining control over the internal conditions. Integrated Velcro systems allow for adjusting the opening of each section according to therapeutic needs. The materials used offer resistance to continuous use and allow for frequent washing without loss of functionality.This practical and adaptable solution helps create a more stable environment for the neurosensory development of newborns during hospitalization. The cover is lightweight, removable, and easy to clean, and is designed for use in the medical field, particularly in neonatal intensive care units.
