Abstract:

The search for promising markers of brain damage in premature newborns is important for the development and optimization of individual diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to neuroprotection in neonatology. Objective: to evaluate the diagnostic significance of serum erythropoietin (sEPO) on the 1st day of life as a marker of perinatal brain damage in premature infants with very low birth weight (VLBW). The study protocol was approved by the Biomedical Research Ethics Committee (Minutes No.12 of 17 November 2016) and the Scientific Council (Minutes No.19 of 29 November 2016) of the National Me

Background: The study purpose was to examine the incidence of hypoglycemia in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants with cholestasis while on complete enteral nutrition.Methods: A retrospective study of 270 VLBW (<1500 grams) infants born between 2008 and 2012 at York Hospital with cholestasis was performed. A blood glucose concentration ≤50 mg/dl was used to define hypoglycemia, and hypoglycemic events were recorded while infants were on full enteral feeds. Characteristics of infants with cholestasis were compared with those without cholestasis.Results: Cholestasis was noted in 9.6% (26/270

Abstract:

EACH YEAR APPROXIMATELY 460,000 infants—nearly 12 percent of all babies born in the U.S.—are born prematurely.1 Technological advances in the medical and nursing care of premature infants over the past decade have increased survival rates among preterm newborns, especially of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Survival rates are as high as 49 percent for infants weighing 501–750 gm at birth, 85 percent for infants weighing 751–1,000 gm, 93 percent for infants weighing 1,001–1,250 gm, and 96 percent for infants weighing 1,251–1,500 gm.2 Although 50–60 percent of VLBW infants have normal outc

Abstract:

THE MOST COMMON VARIETY of neonatal intracranial hemorrhage is an intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH).1 Although much research has been conducted concerning the etiology and prevention of IVH in the preterm infant, the problem continues to plague very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (<1,500 grams) in particular. The risk of IVH correlates inversely with gestational age. The incidence of hemorrhage in the infant <28 weeks gestation is three times that of infants 28–31 weeks gestational age. The incidence of severe hemorrhage in infants <28 weeks gestational age is twice that of infants 2

Abstract:

There is clear evidence that transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV) to infants occurs via breast milk. The precise risk for development of symptomatic CMV disease in very low birth weight (VLBW; <1500 grams at birth) premature infants following transmission from maternal breast milk is not clear, though severe disease has been described in this setting. We describe discordant transmission of CMV to VLBW twins, with severe clinical deterioration in the affected infant.

Abstract:

The nutritional needs of premature infants are usually dependent upon parenteral nutrition (PN) during early postnatal life, especially for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (birth weight of less than 1500 g). In these infants, full enteral feedings are generally delayed because of the severity of medical problems associated with prematurity, such as immature lung function (which often requires endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation), hypothermia, infections, and hypotension. In addition, early enteral feeds are also delayed because of concerns that aggressive feeding may lead t

Abstract:

AbstractBronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a multifactor pathology. Animal studies and cohort studies suggest that poor nutrient intake after birth increases the risk of BPD. The objective of the present study was to determine the existence of association between BPD in very low birth weight (VLBW) and energy intake during the first week of life. We recorded in a retrospective cohort study the intake of enteral and parenteral macronutrients during this period by examining the nutritional and clinical history of 450 VLBW newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. After applying the

Abstract:

Background Echocardiography is an important technique in neonatal care. The heart of a premature baby is known to be different from that of a term baby, and there is a paucity of literature regarding reference cardiac measurements for this population, especially for the very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Objective We aimed to present reference values for echocardiography in VLBW preterm infants. Study Design This was a retrospective observational study taking place over an 11-year period.

Abstract Background Disseminated candidiasis is associated with high morbidity and mortality among very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Research about C. albicans traits which lead to colonization versus invasive disease is lacking. Ability to grow in a filamentous form is a known virulence trait of C. albicans. Nevertheless, significant heterogeneity in filamentous growth in C. albicans clinical isolates has been documented (Hirakawa et. al). However, the clinical isolates investigated were obtained from varied tissue niches from hosts with differing risk factors, which could account for the

Invasive interventions have been conducted in preterm infants with significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) when medical treatment has failed, and methods of invasive intervention have been reported. Surgical ligation via lateral thoracotomy has been a well-established procedure for decades. Recently, transcatheter occlusion has been safely and feasibly applied to the premature population. However, little research has been conducted on the benefits of transcatheter occlusion in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants compared to surgical ligation.

Previous studies using single stable isotopes of iron without metabolic balances were unable to quantitatively determine iron absorption since the percentage of absorbed iron appearing in the erythrocyte could not be measured.
