Show Pilot study on new-born babies conducted by BYU professor The common hospital nursery paractice of not feeding newborn infants until 12 hours after birth could have a serious neurological effect on the infants on a long-term basis, according to a pilot study conducted by a Brigham Young University professor. Dr. Camilla S. Wood, nurse physiologist and currently professor and director of the graduate program in nursing at BYU -who conducted the pilot study, said it confirmed that infants who fasted for 10 hours after birth continued to have blood glucose decreases for as long as 24 hours after birth. "If an infant's brain depends on glucose as an adult's brain does, the lag could have serious effect on the child's brain," she said. "It's only a hunch, but it could be an explanation for learning disabilities in children which we just haven't been able to explain in the past." Glucose is the simple sugar utilized in cells for the production of energy. When this blood glucose value drops too low to sustain normal neurological glucose function, hypoglycemia results, Dr. Wood explained. The first symptoms of hypoglycemia would be reflected in the nervous system with disorientation, shakiness, shock, and convulsions. Dr. Wood conducted the pilot study on eight infants at Utah Valley Hospital in Provo. Five of the babies were fed 10 V4 hours after birth and three were fed within 2'A hours after birth. Even though the number of infants tested was very small, she said some trends can be noted. According to Dr. Wood; this pilot study has confirmed that hypoglycemia occurs frequently enough in normal newborns to elicit concern from medical and nursing personnel. "On a basis of information obtained in this pilot study, a much larger study of early feeding and blood glucose values seems warranted," she said. So far, Dr. Wood said, no adequate studies have been reported which permit a correlation between low levels of blood glucose and subsequent neurological or mental growth and development in newborn infants. Even though numerous articles ar-ticles have been published recently relating to hypoglycemia in newborn infants, in-fants, Dr. Wood said a survey of 12 major hospitals in Utah and Idaho showed that the most frequent time given for the initial caloric feeding of newborn babies was 12 hours after birth and one hospital waits until 16 hours. "When a pup or kitten is born, it is immediately suckled," Dr. Wood said. "In less scientifically sophisticated countries, human newborn infants are put to the ' 1 - "'3 ' I :V r.

She noted that a Salt Lake City obstetrician recently advocated a more humane practice in the delivery room of turning down the bright lights and putting infants to breast immediately after delivery. The mother of six children and grandmother of eight, Dr. Wood said she is concerned that hospital practices are continuing to allow babies to fast after birth in view of recent research. "When an adult diets, we sometimes get headaches or dizzy, but our brain adjusts to burn other things," she said. But a baby is in a different situation. It comes from just having had all its caloric requirements met by its mother and it has a very small amount of glucose reserve. "The largest part of the baby is its nervous tissue.. ..its head," she said. "The brain in the low birth weight infant is more than six times it proportioned size in the adult and it is undergoing rapid growth and development. ctrk Chops Assorted Loin fll r.0 nop parenbs m WW A Serving Suggestion Lean Ground Beef For Meat loaf or Patties S Lemer lut Rib Chops Boneless MM.

It took 173 years, until 1962, for federal spending to hit $100 billion a year. But by 1971, only nine years later, government spending had jumped to $200 billion a year. THEN CONSIDER: In 1975, only four years later, government spending actually had reached $300 billion a year. And this year, after just two years, spending broke the $400-billion-a-year barrier. NOW STOP LOOK ANDTHINK! mm 1200 100 400 300 Such huge spending has resulted in a bigger and bigger government debt The interest alone on the national debt has more than doubled in ten years and is now over $40 billion a year. In fact, the interest burden on the debt constitutes ten percent of the federal budget! Ask your representatives in Washington whether they have the courage to help stop this deadly trend. If they do not, we'll eventually wake up to find ourselves living in a fool's paradise. 7"Ai'i editorial comment appeared in the October 1976 issue of Reader's Digest. i' J" |
