Divroxol

Composition


Lysozyme

Protein contained in many secretions such as saliva, tears, milk and colostrum and plays a key role in the fixation and transport of iron, a process necessary for the growth and development of pathogens. It has antimicrobial activity both bactericidal and fungicidal. In association with lactic ferments it hinders the growth of pathogenic bacteria without altering the growth of normal intestinal bacterial flora.

  • The Many Sides of New Medical Technology May 1, 2024
    In this volume of The Journal, Silverstein et al examine the use of the Owlet Smart Sock (OSS) in management of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in infants. The smart sock is a pulse oximeter-based technology. The investigators found that use of this technology may result in earlier detection of SVT, which may, in turn, result in […]

  • Can We Adopt Pediatric Palliative Care that is Indivisible with Equity for all? May 1, 2024
    In this volume of The Journal, two retrospective cohort studies, both based in Ohio, provide insightful data about the deployment of dedicated pediatric palliative care teams. While home-based visits have been a longtime core principle of pediatric hospice care, their value has not been well defined or justified. Thus, Smith et al analyzed healthcare utilization […]

  • Exchange Transfusions in Late Preterm and Term Neonates with Acute Bilirubin Encephalopathy April 24, 2024
    We thank Dr. Watchko for his further examination of our data, specifically evaluating whether total serum bilirubin (TSB) and bilirubin albumin ratio (B/A ratio) exchange transfusion thresholds align with the development of bilirubin encephalopathy in 18 encephalopathic neonates presented in Table VI of the published paper. We agree with Dr. Watchko that 11 infants exceeded […]

  • More than Meets the Eye: Exchange Transfusion in Neonates with Acute Bilirubin Encephalopathy April 24, 2024
    Amin et al are to be congratulated on their important paper “Unbound bilirubin and acute bilirubin encephalopathy in infants born late preterm and term with significant hyperbilirubinemia”1 and for the clinical profiles of individual neonates with acute bilirubin encephalopathy (ABE) provided in Table VI.

  • A Gentle Introduction to Latent Class Analysis for Researchers in Pediatrics April 18, 2024
    A recent study in The Journal of Pediatrics from O’Connor et al reports using latent class analysis (LCA) to discover “complexity” subgroups based on cardiac medical histories of 1,482 participants diagnosed with congenital heart disease (CHD).1 Seven medical history variables (including stroke, cardiac surgeries, and cardiac-related hospitalizations) were selected based on indications of CHD complexity.
