Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to provide a summary of the current knowledge on measurement tools and most recent evidence for prenatal and postnatal modulators of energy balance in young infants.
Recent Findings: The prevention of pediatric obesity depends upon curating the perfect imbalance of energy intake to energy expenditure, taking into consideration the energy needs for healthy growth. We summarize the recent evidence for the programming of fetal and infant metabolism influenced by maternal preconception health, prenatal metabolic milieu, and physical activity behaviors. In the early postnatal environment, caregiver feeding behaviors shape the extent of energy imbalance through dictating quantity and modality of infant energy intake. There are biological and behavioral contributors to improper infant energy imbalance. Furthermore, caregiver and clinician education on overfeeding and clinical tools to prescribe and monitor infant overgrowth are absent. Ultimately, the lack of high-quality and modern research of infant energy expenditure underpins the lack of advancement in clinical guidelines and the needed prevention of pediatric obesity.

A cross-sectional analysis of the nutritional quality and prices of commercial infant and toddler food products in the Canadian food supply.
Paediatr Child Health

Department of Nutritional Sciences, Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Adequate nutrition is essential for growth and development during infancy and early childhood; however, the healthfulness and cost of commercial infant and toddler food and beverage products (ITP) have not been documented in Canada.
Objective: This study assessed the nutritional quality and prices of ITP in the Canadian food supply.
Design: Using the Food Label Information and Price 2020 database, ITP intended for children < 4-years-old ( = 423) were examined for their energy and nutrient content (per 100 g or mL), the prevalence of products 'High in' nutrient(s)-of-concern (according to Canadian front-of-pack labelling thresholds), and their price (per 100 g or mL).
Comparative radiation dose analysis in pediatric high-pitch cardiac CTA using photon-counting versus energy-integrating detector CT.

Department of Radiology, University of Colorado School of Medicine/Department of Pediatric Radiology, Children's Hospital Colorado, 13123 East 16th Avenue, Box 125, Aurora, 80045, Colorado, USA.
Background: Previous studies have shown improved image quality in pediatric cardiac imaging using photon-counting detector CT (PCDCT). However, these studies did not evaluate image quality and radiation dose when utilizing the full spectral capabilities of PCDCT scanners. The full spectral capability of PCDCT scanners allows the generation of the entire array of mono-energetic reconstructions, virtual non-contrast (VNC) images, and iodine maps, which have potential advantages in evaluating complex congenital heart disease.

Objective: To assess the impact of gestational diabetes(GDM) detection thresholds on infant growth, nutrition, and neurodevelopment at 12-18 months.
Design: Prospective cohort study within the GEMS trial(ACTRN12615000290594), which randomized pregnant women to detection of GDM using lower or higher glycemic criteria. The main outcomes were overweight/rapid weight gain; food approach appetitive score; energy intake; cognitive z-score.
Predicting total body water in infants aged 0.5-24 months and the implications for measuring breast milk intake: a secondary analysis of isotope dilution data.
Am J Clin Nutr

Population Policy and Practice Department, University College London, Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Total body water (TBW) is commonly used to derive estimates of body composition. The deuterium oxide dose-to-mother (DTM) technique for measuring breast milk intake requires an estimate of infant TBW. The DTM calculation employs a prediction equation for estimating infant TBW from body weight (TBW), but the general validity of this equation is unknown.

Background: Premature infant formula is based on milk and contains energy, vitamins, Breast milk is rich in minerals, such as phosphorus and calcium, and proteins. Both can be used for nutritional support in preterm infants with low-birth-weight. However, their effects on the difference in infant growth rate and postpartum depression are still unclear.
