Cerebrospinal Fluid Proteom in Dependence of Intranasal Breast Milk (NAMU)

February 7, 2020 updated by: Titus Keller, MD, University Hospital of Cologne

Proteomics of Cerebrospinal Fluid of Preterm Infants With Posthemorrhagic Hydrocephalus With Focus on Intranasal Breast Milk.

Investigation of the cerebrospinal fluid proteom in preterm infants with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus in our neonatology center with analysis for modulation of proteom in dependence of breastmilk feeding and way of application such as via gavage tube, oral or nasal application.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Since the nasal route might be highly effective for neurotrophins and other growth factors the cerebrospinal fluid will be investigated using mass spectrometry to identify modulating effects of intranasal breast milk application on the cerebrospinal fluid proteom.
