Long chain n-3 fatty acids play a key role during the development of the central nervous system and some studies in preterm infants showed benefits of docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid supplementation for visual and cognitive development. In recent years fish oil has been added to the fat blend of intravenous (IV) lipid emulsions (LE) but to date scanty data are available on neurodevelopmental outcome of preterm infants that received fish oil containing LE. We studied the effect of fish oil containing IV LE vs standard IV LE on neurodevelopment in a large cohort of preterm infants who received routine parenteral nutrition (PN) from birth. We retrospectively reviewed the neurodevelopmental outcome of 477 preterm infants (birth weight (BW) 400-1249g and gestational age (GA) at birth 24 - 35 weeks (W)) admitted to our NICU between Oct-2008 and June-2017, who received routine PN with different LE, with and wiesis, the use of fish oil containing LE in a large cohort of preterm infants on routine PN did not result in better neurodevelopment. Large randomized controlled trials powered for neurodevelopment are needed to clarify the impact of the widely used fish oil containing LE on neurodevelopment of preterm infants. Vitamin A is necessary for an adequate immune response to infections. Infection also alters vitamin A biomarkers, which interferes with assessment of vitamin A deficiency and thus impairs clinical management. Here we apply multiple strategies to adjust vitamin A biomarkers for inflammation during acute infection and evaluate associations between adjusted vitamin A status and immunologic response markers. We measured biomarkers in pediatric patients presenting with acute febrile illness in Guayaquil, Ecuador at paired acute and convalescent visits. Four adjustment strategies were applied to retinol-b
