The aim of this work, carried out by members of the Military Medical University Shanghai, was to assess, through rigorous scientific study (meta-analysis of randomized and controlled studies), effectiveness and safety of the use of specific antibiotics to prevent long term repeat urinary tract infections (UTI recurrent).

We carried out a search in databases and relevant journal articles, mainly reflecting recurrent UTI, with repeated positive urine cultures, new or chronic renal injury and adverse events during or after treatment.

Although more studies are needed in this regard, the authors conclude that of all the data reviewed, there is evidence that prevention with antibiotics reduces the incidence of recurrent UTI in childhood.

The aim of this work, carried out by members of various U.S. universities, was to examine the association between fetal exposure to nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, etc. and sleep problems in children aged 1 month to 12 years.

The sleep data were collected from maternal contributions during a multicenter study in children who participated in the Maternal Lifestyle.

From the data, the authors conclude that prenatal exposure to nicotine is positively associated with persistent sleep problems during the first 12 years of life.

Therefore, an effort is necessary from the standpoint of environmental education and to prevent and treat these disorders of sleep and to protect children who have them.

A selection in several centers in Germany, more than 3,000 newborns, to discuss the prevention of allergy by feeding partially or extensively hydrolyzed formulas for cow’s milk proteins, were followed 54% of them until the age of ten years.

The children who have eczema in the breastfeeding period were more likely to suffer from the syndrome of hyperactivity / inattention (ADHD) at 10 years of age.

Therefore, the existence of eczema in early childhood, along with sleep problems, predicts the emotional and behavioral problems at the age of ten years.

Thus, infant eczema, even if cured or improved in most cases, is a clear risk factor for the occurrence of developmental disorders at other times of life.
