More recently, evidence links gut microbial dysbiosis […]
Probiotics & Neurodevelopment in Preterm Infants
Preterm (also called premature) babies can face a host of complications including neurological problems due to their underdeveloped physiological systems. Recent research shows that gut dysbiosis increases the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants. Specific probiotics have been effective in preventing this dangerous condition, which has led researchers to explore if probiotics may […]
