▼ This dissertation is a study of a boycott during the 1970s and 80s against the largest food company on the planet, when activists accused Nestlé of killing babies in developing countries with its infant formula products. Nestlé countered that it and the formula industry actually saved babies, contributed to local development, and solved many of the world’s economic and health problems. At its most concrete, my project focuses on infant health and political struggles over the private choices and basic economic opportunities of ordinary people. At its most abstract, the work demystifies the multinational corporation at a moment, the 1970s, when it entered American consciousness as a global source of social injustice. Corporations like Nestlé achieved their global position by infiltrating and commodifying one of the most intimate realms of human life – the political site of a woman’s body and her feeding child. Which, from one perspective, demonstrates serious attempts to incorporate survival commodities and the processes of life itself. The dissertation explores the international boycott in order to investigate concepts of growth and development, ideas of universal world health, and the problems of regulating multinational corporations. Its five chapters trace the rise of baby food politics from the birth of formula manufacturing in the late nineteenth century to a World Health Organization code of conduct in the 1980s. The international politics of baby feeding involved governments, the UN, activist networks, and ordinary mothers around the world. The dissertation draws on archival sources such as congressional and UN documents, corporate records, health professional accounts and USAID research, church papers, court cases and an extensive activist archive. Its actors include NGOs, MNCs (Multinational Corporations), activists, health experts and countless families in places like Nairobi and Bogota where Nestlé’s efforts to sell formula coincided with the long process of decolonization.

▼ In 1952, Virginia Apgar devised a system of scores as a means of evaluating the physical condition of the newborn immediately after birth. The Apgar score has since been accepted for use to assess newborns in almost all labour wards worldwide. While infant mortality is reducing worldwide, neonatal morbidity is increasing. Improved resuscitation techniques have improved neonatal survival, what is not yet known is how many of these babies survive without sequelae. This study sought to validate the association between 5 minute Apgar scores and mortality, neonatal encephalopathy and adverse neurodevelopment at 8 weeks postnatal age at the University Teaching Hospital, Zambia. Methods A total of 140 study subjects, meeting the inclusion criteria and consenting parents took part in the study to determine the association between 5 minute Apgar scores in term newborns and neonatal mortality, neonatal encephalopathy and neurodevelopment at 8 weeks postnatal age. The study subjects had their 5 minute Apgar scores taken by specially retrained midwives equipped with stop watches. Neonatal encephalopathy at 6-12 hours was assessed with a clinical neurological examination by the PI. At eight weeks postnatal age, their mental and motor development was assessed by the PI with the Bayley Scale of Infant Development II. Cross-tabulations and chi-square calculations in SPSS 20.0 windows version were used to assess the relationships between the Apgar scores and mortality, encephalopathy at age 6-12 hours, mental and motor development at eight weeks. Results Very low 5 minute Apgar scores (0-3) were associated with 73.3 % (22/30, OR 30.9) neonatal mortality. Very low Apgar scores (0-3) were associated with significant (moderate to severe) encephalopathy at 6 to 12 hours of age (83.3%, OR 25.6). Infants with very low 5 minute scores were 9.2 and 8 times more likely have delayed mental (OR 9.2) and motor (OR 7.7) development respectively, at eight weeks postnatal age. v High mortality (22.1%) and high follow up loss (38.6%) in the very low Apgar group made the later part of the study not statistically significant, thus needing further larger long term research. Conclusion The results of this study underscores the evidence, as reported from other studies, that Apgar scores can be used to identify infants at increased risk of neonatal encephalopathy and death, needing greater and immediate attention. Furthermore, the study has demonstrated the ability of Apgar scores to identify children who need further neurodevelopmental follow-up.

▼ The ability to individuate objects is one of our most fundamental cognitive capacities. Recent research has revealed that, when objects vary in color or luminance alone, infants fail to individuate until 11.5 months. However, color and luminance frequently co-vary in the natural environment, and color and luminance interact in pattern detection, motion detection, and stereopsis. For this reason, we propose that infants may be more likely to individuate when objects vary in both color and luminance. Using the narrow-screen task of Wilcox and Baillargeon, Experiments 1 and 2 assessed 7.5-month-old infants? ability to individuate uniformly colored objects that either varied in both color and luminance or varied in luminance alone. The results indicated that infants used these features to individuate only when the objects varied in both color and luminance. Thus, when color and luminance co-varied, infants used these features to individuate objects a full 4 months earlier than infants use either feature alone. Experiment 3 further explored the link between color and luminance by assessing 7.5-month-old infants? ability to use pattern differences to individuate objects. Although infants use pattern differences created from a combination of luminance and color contrast by 7.5 months, results from Experiment 3 indicated that when pattern was created from either color contrast or luminance contrast alone, infants fail to individuate based on pattern. The results of Experiment 3 suggest that it is not the number of feature dimensions that is important, but the unique contribution of both color and luminance that is particularly salient to infants. These studies add to a growing body of literature investigating the interaction of color and luminance in object processing in infants, and have implications for developmental changes in the nature and content of infants? object representations.

▼ The child care setting represents a crucial environment for infants and children to establish healthy feeding practices in order to prevent overweight and obesity. The objective of this research was to investigate the association between parental care (PC) and child care (CC) on infant feeding practices, food consumption, nutrient intake and growth in infants receiving Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children (WIC) assistance. Our hypothesis was that unhealthy feeding practices would be more common in CC compared to PC thus leading to greater weight for length (WFL) and weight for age (WFA) z-score at 1 year of age for infants in CC. This study sampled 105 infants aged 2 to 8 months of age from the Champaign Urbana WIC office from October 2009-August 2011. Mothers completed a 3-day food record and survey at the time of recruitment to assess their infant’s feeding practices, nutrient intake, health status, and demographic characteristics. Baseline and follow-up weight and length for these children within the first year of age were collected from the WIC office. The major differences in demographic characteristics of the study sample included child care hours per week, maternal employment, household income, and single parent home by CC use. Infants in CC had an average of 29 hours of care per week compared to the 0.64 hours in the PC group (p<0.01). A larger (p<0.01) percentage of mothers were employed in the CC group (73.9%) compared to the PC group (22%). However, the household income was greater (p<0.01) in the PC group (15,986 ± 10,284 PC vs 9,967± 7,489.5 CC). In addition, there was a higher (p=0.04) percentage of single parents in the CC group (30.5 % PC vs. 50% CC). Breastfeeding duration and age of solid food introduction did not differ between care type. Breastfeeding duration was on average 2.3 months while average solid food introduction was 4.4 months. No differences were observed between PC and CC infants in the rates of formula introduction. When comparing food consumption at the time of recruitment, there were no differences in the number of servings per day of food groups, but the CC group showed lower consumption of formula (p=0.03) and breast milk (p=0.18) compared to PC. Energy intake did not differ between care type after adjusting for feeding practices and child, maternal and household characteristics. However, there was a pattern of greater energy intake in the PC group. Child age (β=34.8, p<0.01) and number of servings of infant formula (β=86.0, p<0.01) were the strongest predictors of energy intake. There was greater (p=0.05) calcium intake in the CC group (788 mg CC vs. 742 mg PC). Otherwise, there were no differences in macro or micronutrient intakes between CC and PC. For growth measures, infants in PC had a significantly greater change in WFL (β=2.06, p=0.05) and WFA (β=1.69, p=0.01) z-score and a greater follow-up z-score, after adjusting for feeding practices and child, maternal and household characteristics. There were no… Advisors/Committee Members: Kim, Juhee (advisor), Swanson, Kelly S. (Committee Chair), Kim, Juhee (committee member), Teran-Garcia, Margarita D. (committee member), McBride, Brent A.

▼ A primary purpose of parenting is to socialize the child as a productive member of society. Competent parents promote a balance of social connectedness (including parent-child attachment) and self-regulation (including emotion regulation) as developmentally appropriate in their children (Baumrind, 1996; Darling & Steinberg, 1993). Understanding parenting quality and how it relates to child social and emotional outcomes is essential in light of the important implications that these outcomes have for children’s adjustment in larger society. The first aim of the present dissertation was to better understand the factors that influence parenting quality, the relations between parenting quality and child social-emotional outcomes, and the role of child characteristics in both parenting and child outcomes during the first two years of life. The second aim was to extend the parenting literature in several ways: to examine parenting quality through the lens of emotional availability (EA), to assess mothers’ EA from video recordings of mother-infant interactions during the less-studied context of infant bedtimes, and to consider contributions of infant temperament (including surgency, negative affectivity, and orienting/regulation) to EA and its links to infant social-emotional outcomes. Data for the three studies was drawn from a larger NIH-funded study of 167 children and their families. Study 1 examined mothers’ depressive symptoms, coparenting quality, maternal and infant sleep, and infant temperament during infants’ first 6 months as predictors of mothers’ EA at bedtime with their infants at 9 months. Whereas mother-reported coparenting quality was both directly and indirectly predictive of EA, changes in depressive symptoms during the first 6 months only predicted lower EA when infants were temperamentally highly surgent. In Study 2, trajectories of mothers’ bedtime EA across five time points (1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months) during the infant’s first year were examined as predictors of infant attachment security at 12 months. Infant temperamental reactivity was also included as a potential moderator. Two maternal EA trajectory types, one that was consistently high and another that was consistently low, were identified and found to predict infant attachment security. In addition, infant temperamental surgency/extraversion moderated the relation between EA trajectories and infant attachment security such that highly surgent infants of mothers showing a low EA trajectory had the lowest attachment security at the end of the first year. Study 3 examined the influences of mothers’ EA towards their infants during bedtime, infant attachment security, and interactions between bedtime parenting and attachment with infant temperamental reactivity, on infants’ emotion regulation strategy use at 12 and 18 months. Whereas EA was not directly related to infants’ emotion regulation strategies, infant attachment security had direct relations with infants’ orienting towards the environment and tension reduction behaviors. Both maternal EA and…

▼ Clinicians use growth curves to assess infant health. Most children are measured on growth curves that contain percentiles for height, weight, and head circumference by sex. Preterm infants have their own growth curves. Infants who present with measurements below the 10^th percentile are considered small-for-gestational age (SGA), and infants who present with measurements above the 90^th percentile are considered large-for-gestational age (LGA). Growth curves and centiles can be generated using 3 and 4 parameter distribution models. To date, no studies have been published to investigate whether growth curves generated using a 3- or 4-parameter model differ significantly. Additionally, researchers have found mixed results when exploring the association between race and pregnancy/delivery. Black mothers may have greater risks and babies with lower weights than babies born to White mothers (Borrell, Rodriguez-Alvarez, Savitz, & Baquero, 2016), and growth curves that do not consider race may misclassify non-White babies (Buck-Louis et al., 2015). In this study, I had two specific aims: (1) to compare the preterm infant growth curves and centiles generated using 3 and 4 parameter methods (Lamba Mu Sigma [LMS] and Box-Cox Power Exponential [BCPE], respectively) and assess each model for adequate fit, and (2) to use percentile cut points from race-specific and non-race-specific LMS curves to classify babies in a validation dataset as SGA or LGA. Regarding the differences in curves generated from the LMS and BCPE distributions, the curves produced using the BCPE distribution had a lower GAIC in some cases but model fit criteria for the LMS curves were adequate. The simpler models generated by the LMS method were retained for birth length, head circumference, and weight by sex with an explanatory variable of gestational age. For aim 2, results indicated that race-specific curves classified babies within expected ranges. Non-race-specific curves overidentified Black babies as SGA and underidentified them as LGA. More research is required to test if this relationship persists for babies delivered at full term. Advisors/Committee Members: Katherine Masyn, Louise Lawson.

▼ Nonorganic, or environmental failure to thrive (FTT) is a devastating syndrome of childhood. It is a problem that is prevalent among today's society. It has been identified in the literature since the late 19th century. Recognition of the complexity and the devastating effects of this problem has developed since the 1940's. The causative factor is not a single one, nor is it a clearly identifiable factor. Much of the research identified multiple factors, with mother-infant interaction and environment playing key roles. Authorities in this field advocate prevention of the syndrome through early identification. This study was undertaken to determine any significant differences between the environment and maternal-infant interaction of FTT children and thriving children. The theoretical framework for the study was based on the Barnard predictive nursing model. The design of the research study was descriptive, comparative and the sample population included 19 nonorganic FTT children and their mothers and 19 thriving children and their mothers from the Salt Lake area. Instruments utilized to obtain data were the Caldwell HOME Observation for Measurement of the Environment Scale (Birth to Three Years) and the Barnard Feeding Scale (Birth to One Year). The tools utilized in this study were specific for observational assessments of the child*s environment and the maternal-infant interaction. Findings from the study indicate that there are significant differences between scores on the HOME and Barnard Feeding Scale of the FTT group and the comparison group. The FTT group generally achieved lower scores on the scales than did the comparison group. Significant differences were observed in all areas on the Caldwell HOME scale except in the areas of avoidance of restriction and punishment and organization of environment. Differences between the two groups were noted in ail areas on the Barnard Feeding Scale except response to distress and responsiveness to parent. Nursing implications address the importance of prevention of this syndrome through early identification. By preventing the syndrome from occurring, the devastating effects can be prevented. Applications to the nurse clinician role were discussed. Recommendations for further research were presented.

▼ WIC food packages are undergoing major revisions to accommodate the unique requirements of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in the twenty-first century. This dissertation is an evaluation of the impact of the revised WIC food packages through national-level surveys obtaining data before and after food package changes. In addition, a community-level metabolic/dietary study of obese women consuming either the original or revised food packages was performed. Since WIC has never revamped its entire program before, this is an opportunity to learn more about the impact of the revisions on WIC participants across the country, including Native Americans from Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs). The National Food and Nutrition food frequency questionnaire (NATFAN) evaluates food and consumption practices of WIC participants, including Native Americans, for both the original and revised WIC food packages. The baseline surveys (NATFAN') were administered before the 2009 rollout of the revised WIC food packages (dates varied by state program). The post-rollout surveys (NATFAN'') were administered spring through winter of 2010-2011, and at least six months after the implementation of the revised WIC food packages. Hierarchical linear modeling, with restricted maximum likelihood approximation, was used to evaluate 100% juice, fruit, and vegetable frequency of consumption based upon NATFAN' and NATFAN'', including samples from states, territories, and ITOs. This research is important because it was national in scope and analyzed nutritional behaviors of a Native American subpopulation of WIC that is seldom documented in national nutrition research. For the metabolic/diet study, obese women 185% of the poverty level were given the original or revised WIC food packages (n=3). Three venous blood serum collections (0, 6, 12 weeks) were biomarker tested (cholesterol, glucose, C-reactive protein, etc.) in lipid and metabolic panels. Three, seventy-two hour dietary recalls were also assessed to determine fruit and vegetable consumption changes over the course of the study. This phase was important because it focused on the individual's actual consumption behaviors of specific WIC foods dispensed in the WIC food packages and assessed how such consumption affected the health of the individual.

▼ With attention to parenting, mothering, and fathering in the academy and attention to pediatric nutrition in the sciences, this study meets at their intersection. Using a critical approach to study narrative, this inquiry examines pediatric nutrition instruction birth through 12-months that is targeted to parents. The aim of this study is to examine how pediatric nutrition instruction construct master (dominant) and counter narratives that determine what constitutes good parenting. Critical narrative analysis reveals that the maternal role is foregrounded and positions mothers as responsible for pediatric nutrition decisions based on expert recommendations. The master narrative, moderate naturalism, limits good decision making to breastfeeding in the first 4-6 months. The focus on breastfeeding within moderate naturalism highlights the postfeminist-individualization of the maternal role to self-educate about nutrition, self- diagnose breastfeeding problems, and self-govern the body. The totalizing role of mother is evidenced in the social expectations related to education, health enhancement, risk aversion, and cultivating a healthy eater. The two counter narratives, synthetic acceptance and strict naturalism, are in dialogue with yet resist the master narrative. First, synthetic acceptance resists ?breast is best? constraints on feeding by legitimizing formula feeding as acceptable but inferior. Mothers within synthetic acceptance enact totalizing motherhood through feeding education, control over the scene and feeding process/products, and formula-matching. Synthetic acceptance simultaneously seeks legitimization through maternal storytelling and delegitimizes itself through guilt discourse. Second, strict naturalism resists motivations for feeding choices and the characterization of the apolitical mother in moderate naturalism. Within strict naturalism the maternal role is politicized. Paradoxically, maternal feeding responsibilities reify traditional gender roles and promote domesticity, but they do so in a way that empowers women to enact environmental advocacy. Strict naturalism features mothers who are health literate, environmentally-active, equipped to make homemade organic baby food, and pursue environmental advocacy. By politicizing motherhood, counter narration has the potential to shift from post-feminist-individual frameworks within moderate naturalism to feminist-cooperative frameworks in counter narration. Practice-based recommendations are made to redress the totalizing implications of pediatric nutrition instruction on mothers, limitations on legitimate feeding choices, and neglect of paternal roles.

▼ Infants born preterm with very low birth weight are at increased risk for developing spastic cerebral palsy, which is characterized by walking limitations due to a reduced ability to move the joints of the leg in an out-of-phase pattern; e.g., flexing the hip while extending the knee. In typical development, the spontaneous kicks of newborn infants are dominated by an in-phase coordination pattern of synchronous flexion or extension of the hip, knee, and ankle joints. Within the first months of life, infants demonstrate a greater variety of intralimb joint coordination patterns which is thought to support the progress to more functional coordination patterns of the lower extremities necessary for independent mobility. PT infants also demonstrate this developmental change from in-phase to a greater variety of joint coordination patterns, however, some PT infants exhibit prolonged in-phase joint coordination which places them at increased risk of developing cerebral palsy. The purpose of this dissertation is to gain a better understanding of the contribution of torque changes to the early changes in leg joint coordination of typically-developing full-term infants, clarify the differences between leg joint coordinations and torques of preterm and full-term infants, and determine whether preterm infants have the potential for a greater amount of out-of-phase leg joint coordination when interacting with an infant-activated mobile that reinforces out-of-phase leg joint coordination. ❧ Three studies were conducted to answer these questions. The first study investigated the contribution of torque changes to the early changes in leg joint coordination of typically-developing full-term infants. We analyzed kicking actions within 10 full-term infants and between 6 and 15-weeks of age using a three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics approach. We found that although 73% of joint angle pairs demonstrated a change from an in-phase intralimb coordination pattern at 6-weeks to an increased variety of intralimb joint coordination patterns at 15-weeks, there was not an obvious developmental change in net joint torques or intersegmental dynamics. Further analysis supported that a greater variety of hip-knee joint coordinations from 6 to 15-weeks of age was associated with a decreased influence of knee muscle torques which allowed passive knee gravitational and motion dependent torques to have a greater influence on the coordination of the kick, contributing to a greater variety of hip-knee joint coordinations. ❧ The second study investigated the contribution of torque changes to the early changes in leg joint coordination of preterm infants. From 6 to 15 weeks, preterm infants demonstrated less in-phase coordination in 30% of joint angle pairs, versus 73% of joint angle pairs in full-term infants. At 6 weeks preterm infants as compared to full-term infants demonstrated less in-phase coordination in 4 of 15 joint angle pairs, but this difference resolved at 15 weeks. Similar to full-term infants, there was not an obvious developmental… Advisors/Committee Members: Fetters, Linda (Committee Chair), Schweighofer, Nicolas (Committee Member), Bradley, Nina S.

▼ Background: In Ethiopia, 96 000 children under fifteen live with HIV, which is related to the prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS and mother to child transmission (MTCT) of the virus.Without intervention, the risk of MTCT of HIV is 15-30% in non breastfeeding populations; breastfeeding by an infected mother increases the risk by 5-20% to a total of 20-45%. Studies have also shown the variation in MTCT rates by duration of breastfeeding, exclusivity of breastfeeding, and the danger of mixed feeding. Objectives: This study was aimed at describing the levels and identifying determinants of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of mothers about VCT and feeding of infants born to HIV positive women. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using quantitative method on 876 mothers (231 pregnant and 645 lactating) residing in Jimma town in December 2004 to January 2005, and in-depth interviews on 12 health workers working in VCT/PMTCT service providing health institutions of the town. Results: Among the mothers (n=876), 38.8% had sufficient knowledge about MTCT (during pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding), 41.8% had sufficient knowledge about PMTCT, 30.5% had sufficient knowledge about infant feeding options recommended to HIV positive women, 62.4% had favorable attitude to wards VCT, 4.7% had favorable attitude towards the feeding options, 84.5% visited health institutions for antenatal care and 35.7% used VCT service during their last pregnancy. The lactating mothers (n=643) practiced mixed feeding 81%, exclusive breastfeeding 13.4% and exclusive replacement feeding 0.4%, and most (90.9%) of the pregnant mothers intended to mixed feed their infants of age 0-6 months. Based on logistic regression analysis, knowledge of the mothers about the infant feeding options was significantly associated with their address, age, husbands being important persons for mothers viii to decide on how to feed their infants, and counseling mothers on infant feeding during ANC. Mothers’ attitude towards the feeding options significantly associated with their address. Infant feeding practices of lactating mothers was also having a statistically significant association with their ANC use, place of delivery, and address. Most of the health workers (in-depth interview participants) provided directive advice about the infant feeding optios, and most didn’t include the options heat treated expressed breast milk and HIV negative wet nurse. The participants mentioned mainly failure to afford formula milk, fear of stigma/discrimination, and partners not involved in HIV test as reasons for non adherence of HIV positive mothers to exclusive replacement feeding; while the mothers’ sickness to exclusive breast feeding. In turn, the mothers shifted to mixed feeding. Conclusion: Mixed feeding increases the risk of non HIV diseases like diarrhea and malnutrition for infants of age 0-6 months, and for most of mothers didn’t know their HIV status potentially increases risk of MTCT of HIV. Therefore, strengthening counseling mothers on safe infant feeding… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Fikru Tsfaye (advisor).

▼ Background: Strategies to respond to the global HIV epidemic include preventing new infections and providing care and support to infected individuals. Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) is one of the strategies given high priority. In Ethiopia, 96 000 children under fifteen live with HIV, which is related to the prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS and mother to child transmission (MTCT) of the virus. Without intervention, the risk of MTCT of HIV is 15-30% in non breastfeeding populations; breastfeeding by an infected mother increases the risk by 5-20% to a total of 20-45%. Studies have also shown the variation in MTCT rates by duration of breastfeeding, exclusivity of breastfeeding, and the danger of mixed feeding. Objective This study was at determining the levels and identifying determinants of KAP of mothers about VCT and feeding of infants born to HIV positive women. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted by using quantitative data collection method with pre tested structured questioner on 300 mothers (79 pregnant and 221 lactating) residing in akaki kality sub city from April to may 2014. Study subjects were selected using simple random sampling. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 16. Descriptive statistics were used to describe characteristics of the study subjects and logistic regression model were used to predict the association of the independent and outcome variable. Results: Among the mothers (n=300), 38.8% had sufficient knowledge about MTCT (during pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding), 4 1.8% had sufficient knowledge about PMTCT, 30.5% had sufficient knowledge about infant feeding options recommended to HIV positive women, 62.4% had favorable attitude towards VCT, 4.7% had favorable attitude towards the feeding options, 84.5% visited health institutions for antenatal care and 35.7% used VCT service during their last pregnancy. Beside these lactating mothers (n=221) practiced mixed feeding 81.5%, exclusive breastfeeding 13.4% and most (91.1%) of the pregnant mothers intended to mixed feed their infants of age 0-6 months. Based on logistic regression analysis, knowledge of the mothers about the infant feeding options was significantly associated with their, age, husbands being important persons for mothers to decide on how to feed their infants, and counseling mothers on infant feeding during ANC. Infant feeding practices of lactating mothers was also having a statistically significant association with their ANC use, and place of delivery.Conclusion/ recommendat ion: Mixed feeding increases the risk of non HIV diseases like diarrhea and malnutrition for infants of age 0-6 months, and for most of mothers didn’t know their HIV status potentially increases risk of MTCT of HIV. Therefore, strengthening counseling mothers on safe infant feeding practices, and introducing an appropriately designed BCC program to the community on safe infant feeding Practices and importance of partners Involvement in HIV testing and counseling are mandatory Key words:… Advisors/Committee Members: TEFARI FITE ( RN,BSc,N MSc N) (advisor).

▼ Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), defined as the need for oxygen at 28 days of life, is the most significant complication of neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS). Preterm infants with BPD develop a significant growth deficit early in the neonatal period. Nutrition is suboptimal during the acute phase of RDS; therefore, infants are undernourished at a crucial time for growth. Delivery of increased calories does not absolve the growth deficit. Neonatal lung disease is strongly associated with an inflammatory response which may influence metabolic rate and confound nutritional efforts to improve growth. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among protein intake (gm/kg/d), growth velocity (gm/kg/d) and levels of an inflammatory mediator found in the urine, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), across the first four weeks of life. A case-comparison correlational design was used. Seventy six preterm infants born less than 30 weeks gestation requiring exogenous surfactant for RDS were recruited. Twenty-four enrolled infants who were transferred or developed positive blood cultures, or sepsis, during the 28 day study period were dis-enrolled from the study protocol. Preterm infants were enrolled by 48 hours of life. At 28 days of life the cohort was divided into two groups. Thirty seven infants who required oxygen for the 28 day period comprised the BPD group whereas 15 infants in room air at 28 days comprised the RDS group. Infants in the RDS group lost a significantly greater amount of weight prior to regaining birthweight, while infants in the BPD group initially lost significantly less weight, and required fewer days to regain birthweight. There were no significant differences for growth velocity between the two groups, but infants in the BPD group grew slower throughout the study period. Higher growth velocity during week one was correlated with greater growth velocity during week 4, therefore, early growth was found to potentiate overall growth. Infants in the BPD group received greater protein early but demonstrated slower growth by week 4 of the study period. In contrast, infants in the RDS group received less protein early but displayed greater growth velocity later in the study period. At 48 hours of life, both groups demonstrated an elevated inflammatory response. However, a significant and prolonged inflammatory response was evident across time for infants in the BPD group. It appears that preterm infants who are developing BPD sustained an inflammatory response through at least 28 days of life, while infants in the RDS group demonstrated a resolving inflammatory response during the 28 day period, and the difference in the response was significant between the two groups of preterm infants. Chronic inflammation is present in BPD. The effects on growth remain to be teased out. Clearly, the growth rate for the infants in the BPD group was slowing. This is important because this is occurring at a time when injured lungs need to heal and grow. This study needs to be replicated with a… Advisors/Committee Members: Steward, Deborah (Advisor).

▼ Objective: Explore the most commonly reported food choices between breastfeeding (BF) and formula feeding (FF) mother-infant pairs receiving comprehensive nutrition education (with an emphasis on dark green and dark yellow vegetables) and breastfeeding and formula feeding mother-infant pairs receiving standard nutrition handouts. Subjects: A subset of four mother-infant pairs (breastfeeding-intervention, breastfeeding-control, formula feeding-intervention, and formula feeding-control) were selected from an ongoing study regarding the eating patterns of infants and mothers (G. Falciglia, PI). Participants were mothers who were six weeks post-partum, between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-five, with a Body Mass Index greater than twenty-five. Each woman’s respective single-birth, full-term infant comprised the other component of the pairs. Study Design: Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (nutrition education program consisting of four in-person sessions, weekly phone calls, and dietary monitoring tools) or the control group (standard nutrition information in the form of two written handouts only). Methods: Three days of self-reported 24-hour recalls were collected from mother-child pairs within one week at time points: baseline (infant age six weeks), infant age six months, infant age twelve months, and infant age eighteen months. Nutrition Data System for Research computer software (NDSR) was used to collect nutrition information. Food amounts consumed were expressed in grams to allow for discrepancy between adult versus infant serving sizes. Reported dietary choices were collected as the specific food and subsequently further categorized into groups (ex. Dark Green Vegetables, Other Dairy, Rice and Pasta, etc.). Results: Based on the dietary recalls of the four previously discussed mother-infant pair case studies, several patterns of food item selection were observed. With primary interest to the study’s goal, the frequency of reported target vegetables consumed appeared to be greater in intervention group mother-infant pairs versus control group mother-infant pairs. Additionally, foods introduced at infant age 6 months were also frequently consumed at infant ages of 12 and 18 months of age. By the infant age of 12 months, intervention mothers and infants reported three or more congruent food items per recall time point. Alternatively, control mothers and infants reported consistently less similarities of food item consumption. Each observation demonstrates an important anecdotal trend which may be utilized in further study of methods of dietary intervention. However, statistical analysis among a larger population remains necessary in order to assess for significant differences. Conclusion: Structured nutrition education sessions, phone calls, and vegetable monitoring appeared to enhance participant adherence towards increased vegetable consumption among intervention group mother-infant pairs.

[Truncated abstract] The introduction of glyco-conjugate vaccines has led to a significant reduction in the prevalence of diseases caused by polysaccharide-encapsulated bacteria, including Haemophilus influenzae b, Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The inclusion of a carrier protein, a T cell antigen, in glyco-conjugate vaccines induces a Tdependent antibody response leading to increased immunogenicity, which is particularly imperative in infants who are most susceptible to these infections. There are still a number of questions regarding the exact mechanisms of glyco-conjugate vaccines that remain unanswered, such as how they influence the generation of memory B cells and a persistent, high-quality antibody response, in particular the role of antigen-specific CD4+ T cells in these processes. In order to undertake these investigations, we developed sensitive assays capable of detecting rare carrier protein-specific functional memory CD4+ T cells and polysaccharide-specific memory B cells in the peripheral blood. Using these tools, we studied an infant cohort who had received a combined Haemophilus influenzae B, Meningococcal C and Y (HibMenCY-TT) vaccine where all polysaccharides were conjugated to tetanus toxoid (TT) as a carrier protein, in a 2-4-6 month primary schedule with a 12 month HibMenCY-TT booster. We determined whether memory B cells induced post-priming correlated with polysaccharide-specific IgG pre- and postboosting, whether type of conjugate and timing of prime could influence the B cell response, and whether TT-specific CD4+ T cells induced post-priming had any influence over the nature of the B cell response. In a small pilot cohort of infants vaccinated with HibMenCY-TT, the assays developed for this thesis were for the first time able to detect TT-specific CD4+ T cells, and Men C-, Y- and Hib PRP- specific memory B cells following HibMenCY-TT vaccine.

Characterisation of the B cell response vaccination identified kinetically that Men C-, Men Y- and Hib PRP- specific memory B cells present postpriming did not correlate with Men C-, Men Y- and Hib PRP- specific IgG titre preboosting, suggesting a lack of non antigen-specific memory B cell turnover for maintenance of persistent antibody. Induction of Men C-specific memory B cells postpriming was significantly correlated with the magnitude of Men C-specific IgG response post-boosting, whilst the correlation for Men Y and Hib was not as pronounced. We identified that HibMenCY-TT gave higher Men C-specific rSBA titres following boosting compared to monovalent MenC-CRM197 and that priming for Men Y-specific responses at 2-4-6 months with a 12 month booster elicited a stronger memory B cell response, but similar Men Y-specific IgG and rSBA titres at 13 months when compared to a single dose given in a priming schedule at 12 months. Combined, these observations suggest that Men C- and Men Y-specific memory B cells induced at priming are influential in secondary antigen-specific IgG responses, and that the longterm B cell response to…

▼ Sleep difficulties are a common concern for parents of infants of all ages. Research identifying the intrinsic (temperament) and extrinsic (parenting) factors that influence infant sleep quality has produced mixed findings. The present study examined how temperament and parenting individually influence infant sleep quality as well as how these factors interact in predicting sleep quality. Participants included 36 families of infants between the ages of 3 and 24 months. Temperament was assessed using the Revised Infant Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ-R). Parent behaviors were assessed through maternal report from the Sleep Practices Questionnaire (SPQ) and through observations from overnight video recordings. Sleep quality was assessed from Sleep Diaries completed by the parents over the course of a full week. Results indicated that the temperament characteristic of soothability was significantly associated with fewer night wakings whereas perceptual sensitivity was associated with more frequent night wakings. Mothers’ self-reported use of consistent bedtimes and bedtime routines was significantly associated with fewer infant night wakings. Self-reported rates of roomsharing and instability of the infant’s sleep location were associated with more frequent night wakings. Observational measures of parenting behaviors were not directly related to infant sleep quality. Several significant interactions emerged between temperament and parenting in predicting infant sleep quality. These interactions suggested that infant temperament moderates the relationship between parenting and infant sleep quality. The results reflected a common pattern indicating that parenting behaviors were significantly associated with sleep quality for infants with less reactive temperaments, but parenting was not significantly associated with sleep quality for infants with more reactive temperaments. The results provided support for the organismic specificity hypothesis in the context of infant sleep. These findings suggest that a complex relationship exists between temperament, parenting and sleep, such that parenting behaviors impact infants differently depending on their temperament. A complete understanding of infant sleep development cannot be achieved without considering the interactive relationship between these factors.

▼ Research suggests that different patterns of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) reactivity across childhood and adolescence are associated with disparate developmental outcomes (e.g., Gunnar& Donzella, 2002; Granger et al., 1996). This longitudinal study examined how children’s temperamental characteristics and maternal parenting qualities were associated with stable and dampening (i.e., cortisol reactivity to stressors in infancy but not toddlerhood) patterns in children’s cortisol reactivity and recovery. The sample (n=547 mother-infant dyads) was ethnically diverse and included predominantly, low-income families from rural communities. Children’s saliva was sampled before and after emotion eliciting, challenge tasks. The children’s behavioral reactivity was coded and saliva was assayed for cortisol. Results revealed that children who exhibited frustration during infancy and fearfulness during toddlerhood were more likely to show dampening cortisol reactivity than no reactivity or hyporeactivity (consistent NON-reactivity) across early childhood. Alternatively, children who showed fearfulness during infancy and toddlerhood were more likely to demonstrate consistent cortisol reactivity than dampening reactivity and consistent NON-reactivity. Furthermore, infants who had highly engaged mothers had a greater tendency to exhibit dampening cortisol reactivity than consistent cortisol reactivity and NON-reactivity. Finally, children with positively engaging mothers at infancy and toddlerhood were more likely to demonstrate consistent HPA reactivity with immediate versus delayed cortisol recovery. In contrast, toddlers with negatively engaging mothers were more likely to have delayed versus immediate cortisol recovery. The findings are consistent with the theory of allostatic load (e.g., McEwen, 1998), and suggest that our understanding of how HPA reactivity and recovery influences child development may be advanced by differentiating inter- and intra-individual differences across time.
