Responses to letters regarding our Journal of Pediatrics Probiotics article
Here are my answers to 2 letters written regarding the article that Annie Janvier, Josianne Malo and I wrote about the impact of probiotics in our NICU. I just realized that Elsevier’s rules allow me under the ‘permitted scholarly posting’ … Continue reading
Probiotics prevent NEC in rats too!
Mark Underwood has been very active in the investigations of probiotics and their effects on the neonatal bowel. His new publication is a fascinating exploration of what happens in a rat model of NEC when they receive bifidobacterium infantis, also … Continue reading
Probiotics: so what about those ELBW babies?
After a comment to my previous post about probiotics, I wanted to clarify what I said about the ELBW baby, that is, the newborn with a birth weight below 1001 grams. It is true that there are few studies that … Continue reading

Yet more probiotic stuff
Here is the other study of saccharomyces that I mentioned previously on this blog (Demirel G, Erdeve O, Celik IH, Dilmen U: Saccharomyces boulardii for prevention of necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants: A randomized, controlled study. Acta Paediatrica 2013) recently … Continue reading
