Coordinated by Faye Palmerton & Roy Pittman Minimal oral feeding; premature I Feeding premature infants a specific amount o f nutrients orally may help their digestive systems develop properly, ac­ cording to preliminary findings from new studies done on neonatal animals. R esearchers at the U SD A /A R S Children’s Nutrition Research Center and the department o f pediatrics at Baylor College o f Medicine in Houston assessed the intestinal nutrient needs and then compared intravenous and minimal oral feeding in neonatal animals. “Our studies showed that the neona­ tal intestine has a much higher require­ ment forprotein than for carbohydrate,” said Dr. Douglas Burrin, a USDA/AR.S research physiologist. “ We found giv­ ing neonatal pups up to 30% of nutrients orally helped their digestive systems grow properly. We hope this finding will one day help neonatologists deter­ mine the optimum composition and vol­ ume o f oral feedings to give premature infants.” “We believe premature infants will one day benefit from this finding,” said Burrin. “Using minimal oral feeding to supple­ ment intravenous feeding can improve weight gain, shorten hospital stays, and help premature infants learn how to suck and swallow much faster.” 4 T r a n s la t o r s w ill b e a v a i l a b l e O ur O b je c tiv e s • To invite you to a Town Hall Meeting • To involve members of the community • To highlight what is great about St. Johns today • To identify specific community needs and desires • To achieve Target Area Designation status B enefits to the C om m u n ity As a Target Area, St. Johns would be eligible for: • O ver $180,000 of fu n d in g assistance* • H om eow ners R eh ab ilitatio n Loans • Youth and E ducational Program s • C om m unity Economic D evelopm ent Program s • A ssistance from the Bureau of H ousing & C om m unity D evelopm ent. ’ Maximum funding potential based on S year Target Area Status S tep h en D uh Outreach C o o rd in a to r a o t a ' i i q ¿ O J -Z J 1 7 9amto5pm Mon.~Fri.
