Neonatal antibiotic use associated with reduced growth in boys, study suggests

Antibiotic treatment within 14 days of birth is associated with reduced weight and height in boys – but not girls – up to the age of six, new research suggests. The study also found significantly higher body mass index (BMI) in both boys and girls following antibiotic use after the neonatal period, and within the first six years of life. Researchers suggest the findings may be the result of changes in the development of the gut microbiome. Professor Omry Koren at Bar-Ilan University, Israel, led the study together with Professor Samuli Rautava, of the University of Turku and University of Helsinki, in Finland.

Antibiotics stunt growth, weight in infant boys -- Israeli researchers

Nathan Jeffay is The Times of Israel s health and science correspondent A baby seen on a weight scale, as part of a medical exam, at a family health center in Israel on March 5, 2019. (Chen Leopold/Flash90) Young boys are experiencing stunted growth and impaired weight gain as a result of being given antibiotics as newborns, Israeli researchers say. A team from Bar-Ilan University released a peer-reviewed study on Tuesday reporting that boys who received antibiotics as newborns weighed less, on average, than other children throughout their first six years. Between the ages of 2 and 6, the boys had lower height and BMIs, they stated in the paper, published in the journal Nature Communications.

CT for Suspected Appendicitis May Increase Risks of Hematologic Malignancies

Jan 22, 2021 Association of risk seen especially in young patients In patients undergoing appendectomy for acute appendicitis, perioperative abdominopelvic CT even a one-time exposure may be associated with an increased risk of hematologic malignant neoplasms, according to results from a nationwide, population-based study from South Korean researchers. “Whether computed tomographic (CT) radiation really induces cancers remains controversial. At least in children and adolescents, the association between CT radiation and carcinogenesis seems plausible given the supporting results of multiple large epidemiological studies. However, inclusion criteria of these studies were vague, lacking information regarding the reasons for the CT scan,” wrote Kyung Hee Lee, MD, PhD, of the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Gyeonggi-do, Korea, and fellow researchers, who published their results in
