Letter to the editor: clarifying some aspects and the terminology of individualized human milk Fortification
BMC Pediatrics, 2019Co-Authors: Sertac Arslanoglu, Paola Tonetto, Clair Boquien, Caroline King, Delphine Lamireau, Barbara Krolak-olejnik, Jean-charles PicaudAbstract:This letter has been written by the components of the European Milk Bank Association (EMBA) Working Group on Human Milk Fortification in response to a recent paper published by Mathes et al. (BMC Pediatr. 2018 May 8;18(1):154) with the aim of drawing attention to the importance of the use of a metabolic marker to adapt protein intake in preterm infants. EMBA Working Group on Human Milk Fortification clarifies further the terminology and some specific aspects regarding individualized human milk Fortification. There are two types of individualized human milk Fortification: Adjustable human milk Fortification and Targeted human milk Fortification. Advantages and disadvantages of these methods are summarized.

the fallacy of using administrative data in assessing the effectiveness of food Fortification comment on folic acid Fortification and neural tube defect risk analysis of the food Fortification initiative dataset nutrients 2020 12 247
Nutrients, 2020Co-Authors: Vijaya Kancherla, Helena Pachon, Hannah Blencowe, Homero Martinez, Godfrey P Oakley, Robert J. BerryAbstract:Our objective in this comment is to highlight several limitations in an ecological research study that was published in Nutrients by Murphy and Westmark (2020) in January 2020. The study used data from the Food Fortification Initiative (FFI) website, and applying an ecological study design, made an error of “ecologic fallacy” in concluding that “national Fortification with folic acid is not associated with a significant decrease in the prevalence of neural tube defects (NTDs) at the population level”. We list study limitations that led to their erroneous conclusions, stemming from incorrect considerations regarding NTD prevalence, the average grain availability for a country, the Fortification coverage in a country, the population reach of fortified foods within a country, and the absence of the consideration of Fortification type (voluntary vs. mandatory), country-specific policies on elective terminations for NTD-affected pregnancies, stillbirth proportions among those with NTDs, and Fortification implementation. FFI data are derived from many sources and intended for Fortification advocacy, not for hypothesis testing. The flawed study by Murphy & Westmark (2020) in Nutrients promotes a confusing and incorrect message to stakeholders, misguides policy makers, and hinders progress in global NTD prevention through a cost-effective, safe, and effective intervention: the mandatory large-scale folic acid Fortification of staple foods.

retrospective assessment of cost savings from prevention folic acid Fortification and spina bifida in the u s
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2016Co-Authors: Scott D Grosse, Robert J. Berry, Mick J Tilford, James E Kucik, Norman J WaitzmanAbstract:Introduction Although Fortification of food with folic acid has been calculated to be cost saving in the U.S., updated estimates are needed. This analysis calculates new estimates from the societal perspective of net cost savings per year associated with mandatory folic acid Fortification of enriched cereal grain products in the U.S. that was implemented during 1997–1998. Methods Estimates of annual numbers of live-born spina bifida cases in 1995–1996 relative to 1999–2011 based on birth defects surveillance data were combined during 2015 with published estimates of the present value of lifetime direct costs updated in 2014 U.S. dollars for a live-born infant with spina bifida to estimate avoided direct costs and net cost savings. Results The Fortification mandate is estimated to have reduced the annual number of U.S. live-born spina bifida cases by 767, with a lower-bound estimate of 614. The present value of mean direct lifetime cost per infant with spina bifida is estimated to be $791,900, or $577,000 excluding caregiving costs. Using a best estimate of numbers of avoided live-born spina bifida cases, Fortification is estimated to reduce the present value of total direct costs for each year’s birth cohort by $603 million more than the cost of Fortification. A lower-bound estimate of cost savings using conservative assumptions, including the upper-bound estimate of Fortification cost, is $299 million. Conclusions The estimates of cost savings are larger than previously reported, even using conservative assumptions. The analysis can also inform assessments of folic acid Fortification in other countries.

folic acid food Fortification its history effect concerns and future directions
Nutrients, 2011Co-Authors: Krista S Crider, Lynn B. Bailey, Robert J. BerryAbstract:Periconceptional intake of folic acid is known to reduce a woman’s risk of having an infant affected by a neural tube birth defect (NTD). National programs to mandate Fortification of food with folic acid have reduced the prevalence of NTDs worldwide. Uncertainty surrounding possible unintended consequences has led to concerns about higher folic acid intake and food Fortification programs. This uncertainty emphasizes the need to continually monitor Fortification programs for accurate measures of their effect and the ability to address concerns as they arise. This review highlights the history, effect, concerns, and future directions of folic acid food Fortification programs.

Ensino de geometria na Academia Real de Matemática de Barcelona (1720-1803)
Centro Universitário de Belo Horizonte, 2021Co-Authors: Jorge Galindo DíazAbstract:Teaching geometry at the Barcelona Royal Academy of Mathematics (1720-1803) Resumo: O artigo constitui um estudo sobre o Ensino de Geometria na Academia Real de Matemática de Barcelona entre 1720 a 1803. A contribuição busca refletir sobre a pesquisa da técnica e da arte no universo dos tratados de Geometria e a sua circulação no que tange aos conhecimentos aplicados na construção de edificações. Neste sentido a pesquisa reflete como o conhecimento matemático era fundamental para a arquitetura de fortificações e, sobretudo para uma cultura do conhecimento que refletia na visão espacial arquitetônica do mundo hispânico. Palavra-chaves: Arquitetura de Fortificações; Geometria; Academia Real de Matemática; Barcelona; Abstract: The article constitutes a study on the Teaching of Geometry at the Royal Academy of Mathematics in Barcelona between 1720 and 1803. The contribution seeks to reflect on the research of technique and art in the universe of treatises on Geometry and its circulation with respect to knowledge applied in the construction of buildings. In this sense, the research reflects how mathematical knowledge was fundamental for the architecture of Fortifications and, above all, for a culture of knowledge that reflected in the architectural spatial vision of the Hispanic world.

is targeted Fortification of human breast milk an optimal nutrition strategy for preterm infants an interventional study
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2016Co-Authors: Laura Morlacchi, Domenica Mallardi, Maria Lorella Gianni, P Roggero, Orsola Amato, Pasqua Piemontese, Dario Consonni, Fabio MoscaAbstract:Background Fortifying human milk contributes to the prevention of postnatal growth failure in preterm infants. Because of the natural variability of human milk, targeted Fortification of human milk has been advocated. However, data regarding the efficacy and safety of prolonged targeted Fortification are scarce. We aimed to assess the safety of targeted Fortification of human milk in preterm infants compared with standard Fortification, as well as the effects on infant growth.
