The dietetic practice of prescribing amino acid-based formulas in paediatrics patients without cow’s milk allergy: a single centre retrospective study by O’Connor, Graeme, Mansell, Melissa

“…Conclusions: This single-centre retrospective study found that paediatric dietitians reserved the prescription of AAFs for patients with complex neurological and gastrointestinal conditions. The most common reason for dietitians to prescribe AAFs was to mitigate upper and lower gastrointestinal symptoms in patients already established on enteral formulas. …”

Eviction as a community health exposure by Schwartz, Gabriel L., Leifheit, Kathryn M., Arcaya, Mariana C., Keene, Danya

“…In this narrative review, we summarize evidence and lay out a theoretical model for eviction as a community health exposure, mediated through four paths: 1) shifting ecologies of infectious disease and health behaviors, 2) disruption of neighborhood social cohesion, 3) strain on social networks, and 4) increasing salience of eviction risk. …”
