Improving maternal gut health in pregnancy and lactation is a potential strategy to improve immune and metabolic health in offspring and curtail the rising rates of inflammatory diseases linked to alterations in gut microbiota. Here, we investigate the effects of a maternal prebiotic supplement (galacto-oligosaccharides and fructo-oligosaccharides), ingested daily from <21 weeks' gestation to six months' post-partum, in a double-blinded, randomised placebo-controlled trial.
Treatments for food allergy are still lacking, yet progress is being made, and immunotherapy appears more effective than dietary avoidance.
Recent studies based on hospital admissions have reported a significant increase in anaphylaxis prevalence.
Review treatment and primary prevention studies, recent meta-analyses, and discuss the current understanding of the role of probiotics in this context
Early intervention within First Episode Psychosis (FEP) recovery efforts support functional recovery in several ways, including increasing levels of (1) physical activity (2) life skills, and (3) social connectivity. Sport has been proposed as an ideal platform to target these three goals simultaneously.
Experimental studies show a substantial contribution of early life environment to obesity risk through epigenetic processes.
The Bacterial Respiratory Infectious Disease Group (BRIDG) has a major focus ear and lung disease involving Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) pose the greatest threat to human health globally. The dramatic rise in early onset NCDs - such as childhood obesity, the allergy epidemic and an increasing burden of mental ill health in children and youth - reflect the profound early impact of modern environments on developing systems.
To examine whether maternal gestational hypertension and preeclampsia are associated with behavioral problems in offspring
