Concentrated milk feeds and their relation to hypernatraemic dehydration in infants.

The composition of milks usually fed to 25 infants admitted to hospital with a dehydrating illness was studied. 15 hypernatraemic babies had been given feeds of greater sodium concentration and osmolality than those fed to the 10 infants whose plasma sodium was below 150 mEq/l. Hypernatraemic dehydration may be followed by death or permanent brain damage. Most infants in the survey were receiving milk with a sodium content greater than that advised by the manufacturers. Suggestions are made for reducing the sources of error commonly made in the reconstitution of dried milk formulae.

The relationship between European paediatricians and commerce: ethical principles in paediatrics working group recommendations. Confederation of European Societies of Paediatrics (CESP).

UNLABELLED: It is important that doctors have an ethically proper relationship with commercial interests. The relationship between paediatricians, paediatric societies and industry is probably healthy. To further the interests of patients it is important that it remains so. CONCLUSION: This mentionship would be undermined if: there was a perceived conflict of interests between paediatricians, their patients and industry; paediatricians were seen to endorse companies whose marketing and other practices were unethical. It will be enhanced if: paediatricians did not receive individual gain from industry; industrial support for educational and research activities, whether to individuals or institutions, is open, proportionate and accountable.
