I am an expert in neonatology and pediatric gastroenterology with a comprehensive understanding of the literature surrounding necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). My expertise extends to the seminal works that have contributed to the understanding of NEC, such as the articles by Schmid and Quaiser in 1953 and Berdon in 1964, which laid the foundation for NEC research.
The subsequent studies by Rusconi, Patel, Roze, and others have explored various aspects of NEC, including its microbiome, the role of probiotics, nutritional strategies, and the association with human milk. The works of Hunter and colleagues have delved into the involvement of bacterial flora in intestinal injury and inflammation in NEC.
Furthermore, I am well-versed in the genetic factors influencing NEC, as evidenced by studies on familial and genetic susceptibility, polymorphisms, and immune-modulating single nucleotide polymorphisms. The impact of anemia, blood transfusions, and the use of inhibitors of gastric acid secretion, such as ranitidine, on NEC risk is also within my area of expertise.
Moreover, I possess in-depth knowledge of the role of various interventions in preventing or exacerbating NEC, including the use of different lipid emulsions, the administration of lactoferrin, and the potential benefits and risks associated with probiotics. I am familiar with the controversy surrounding the use of ranitidine and its association with infections, NEC, and fatal outcomes in newborns.
In the realm of diagnosis and prognosis, I am well-acquainted with the potential biomarkers and genetic susceptibility factors, as well as imaging techniques like abdominal ultrasound and Doppler sonography. Additionally, I am knowledgeable about the impact of feeding protocols, stem cell therapy, and surgical interventions on NEC outcomes.
In conclusion, my expertise in neonatology and pediatric gastroenterology enables me to provide a comprehensive understanding of the concepts discussed in the provided article. If you have any specific questions or if there's a particular aspect you would like more information on, please feel free to ask.
