Abstract:
Objective. Emollient cream moisturizers are often used on premature newborns in neonatal intensive care units without accurate knowledge of the risks or benefits to the neonate. Design. We prospectively compared premature neonates treated with a water-in-oil emollient cream for up to 16 days to untreated premature neonates. Setting. The study was completed in a neonatal intensive care unit on neonates admitted for respiratory distress and/or possible sepsis. Patients. Thirty-four neonates, between 29 and 36 weeks estimated gestational age, entered the study. Interventions. One-half of the neonates were treated twice a day with an water-in-oil emollient cream, and the other half served as controls. Outcome Measures. The skin condition of the neonates' hands, feet, and abdomen was evaluated on entering the study and twice a week. Fungal cultures and quantitative bacterial cultures were obtained from the axilla and abdomen on entering the study and twice a week. Results. The mean gestational age of the treated neonates was 32.3 weeks, whereas the mean gestational age of the control neonates was 32.5 weeks. The neonates treated with emollient cream demonstrated statistically less dermatitis of their hands (day 2 through day 11), their feet (day 2 through day 16), and their abdomen (day 7 through day 11). Fungal cultures and quantitative bacterial cultures of the abdomen and axilla were equivalent in both groups. Conclusions. These studies document that emollient cream moisturizer therapy of premature neonates decreases dermatitis without changing the microbiological flora.

Abstract:
Monitoring of arterial hemoglobin saturations by pulse oximetry has become a fixture in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units, operating rooms, and in other hospital settings. Use with extremely premature neonates is especially beneficial because of their immature skin development and vulnerability to topical damage—whether due to chemicals, tape, or temperature.1,2 This report documents a case of a burn due to a presumed shorting of a pulse oximeter probe cable in an extremely premature neonate. CASE REPORT The patient was a 690-g Hispanic female neonate born prematurely at approximately 25 weeks' gestation with respiratory distress syndrome requiring mechanical ventilation and supplemental oxygen.

Abstract:
Metastatic infection as an infrequent complication of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in neonates is challenging due to the limited literature. To report the clinical case of a premature neonate who developed a metastatic infection as a complication of S. aureus bacteremia. We present the case of a premature neonate admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, diagnosed with bacterial sepsis, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, and involvement by premature rupture of the membrane. A patch catheter was inserted, and he was successfully treated for E. coli bacteremia. He was re-admitted for late sepsis due to infection with multi-sensitive S. aureus in a patch catheter. An abscess appears on the front of the chest due to S. aureus, confirming metastatic infection. The abscess was drained with a favorable resolution of the clinical picture. In neonates submitted to invasive procedures, it is essential to monitor the clinical evolution and early identification of metastatic infection after Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and provide early treatment to avoid sequelae.

Abstract:
Abstract Survival rates for infants born prematurely have improved significantly, in part due to better supportive care such as RBC transfusion. The role of platelet transfusions in neonates is more controversial. Neonatal thrombocytopenia is common in premature infants. The primary causal factors are intrauterine growth restriction/maternal hypertension, in which the infant presents with thrombocytopenia soon after birth, and sepsis/necrotizing enterocolitis, which are the common morbidities associated with thrombocytopenia in neonates > 72 hours of age. There is no evidence of a relationship between platelet count and occurrence of major hemorrhage, and cardiorespiratory problems are considered the main etiological factors in the development of intraventricular and periventricular hemorrhage in the neonatal period. Platelet transfusions are used commonly as prophylaxis in premature neonates with thrombocytopenia. However, there is widespread variation in the pretransfusion thresholds for platelet count and evidence of marked disparities in platelet transfusion practice between hospitals and countries. Platelet transfusions are biological agents and as such are associated with risks. Unlike other patient groups, specifically patients with hematological malignancies, there have been no recent clinical trials undertaken comparing different thresholds for platelet transfusion in premature neonates. Therefore, there is no evidence base with which to inform safe and effective practice for prophylactic platelet transfusions. There is a need for randomized controlled trials to define the optimal use of platelet transfusions in premature neonates, who at present are transfused heavily with platelets.

Abstract:
Disruption of normal intrauterine brain development is a significant consequence of premature birth and may lead to serious complications, such as neonatal brain injury (NBI). This prospective case-control longitudinal study aimed at determining the levels and prognostic value of serum activin A during the first three days of life in human premature neonates which later developed NBI. It was conducted in a single tertiary hospital and eligible participants were live-born premature (<34 weeks) neonates. Each case (n = 29) developed NBI in the form of an intraventricular haemorrhage, or periventricular leukomalacia, and was matched according to birth weight and gestational age to one neonate with normal head ultrasound scans. Serum activin A levels in both groups showed a stable concentration during the first three days of life as no difference was observed within the two groups from the first to the third day. Neonates diagnosed with NBI had significantly higher activin A levels during the first two days of life compared to control neonates and its levels correlated to the severity of NBI during the second and third day of life. Although serum activin A on the second day was the best predictor for neonates at risk to develop NBI, the overall predictive value was marginally fair (area under the ROC-curve 69.2%). Activin A, in combination with other biomarkers, may provide the first clinically useful panel for the early detection of premature neonates at high risk of NBI.

Abstract:
Background: Premature Rupture of Membranes has been known to complicate pregnancy since ages. Several risk factors may be associated with occurrence of premature rupture of membranes. It is associated with varied neonatal complications, neonatal sepsis and prematurity being the most hazardous ones. Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the incidence of neonatal sepsis following premature rupture of membranes, risk factors and neonatal complications associated with premature rupture of membrane of more than 18 hours in the neonates admitted in a tertiary care center. Methodology: Descriptive observational study was undertaken for 18 months from August 2013 to January 2015 in the College of Medical Sciences, Chitwan, Nepal. This study included 82 neonates admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with maternal history of premature rupture of membranes of more than 18 hours with medical conditions excluded. Results: The incidence of premature rupture of membranes in this hospital was 8.9%. Frequently associated maternal risk factors were history of prior abortion (16, 19.5%), urinary tract infection (7, 8.5%), and antecedent coitus (7, 8.5%). In the study population, 68 (83%) neonates had complications and 14 (17%) neonates had no complication. The incidence of neonatal sepsis following PROM in present study was 6.1%. Neonatal sepsis was significantly associated with chorioamnionitis (p<0.001). The most frequently occurring complication was probable neonatal sepsis (53, 64.6%), followed by prematurity (31, 37.8%) and perinatal asphyxia (15, 18.3%). There was a directly proportional relation of neonatal sepsis, chorioamnionitis, respiratory distress syndrome and mortality with duration of premature rupture of membranes. Conclusion: Commonly occurring maternal risk factors with PROM were prior abortion, UTI and antecedent coitus. In the study population, infectious morbidity was highest. Chorioamnionitis was significantly associated with culture proven neonatal sepsis. Prolonged duration of premature rupture of membranes increased the risk of neonatal sepsis, meningitis, respiratory distress syndrome and perinatal death. Prevention of these risk factors, appropriate and timely management including improved obstetric and neonatal care can provide intact survival of the neonates.

Abstract:
After extensive preclinical and clinical testing, surfactant replacement therapy for premature neonates has become routine in modern neonatal intensive care units. Even though "everyone's doing it," there is nevertheless wide variation in how this therapy is applied. Future studies will be needed to help sort out some of the unresolved issues such as the best preparation, optimal delivery method, how best to ventilate the surfactant-treated neonate, when to retreat with surfactant, and the role of adjunctive therapies such as indomethacin or corticosteroids. Considerable controversy also exists over when surfactant should be administered. This issue has been studied in some depth, both in animals and premature neonates.

Abstract:
Background: Screening for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is recommended to prevent possible blindness. Prior to 2016, resource limitations precluded routine ROP screening at Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH). Previous pilot studies at GSH did not detect ROP requiring treatment. However, improved survival of very low birth weight infants may affect the prevalence of ROP. Objectives: The study objectives were to: i) Determine the prevalence and severity of ROP in a prospective cohort of premature infants; ii) Describe the association with pre-specified potential risk factors; iii) Assess the feasibility of screening for ROP in our resource-limited setting. Methods Infants with a birth weight of < 1251 g or gestational age < 31 weeks admitted to the GSH neonatal unit from November 2012 to May 2013 were screened. A paediatric ophthalmologist examined the infants at 4 weeks chronological age or 32 weeks corrected gestational age, with follow-up examinations as indicated. Results: Screening was performed in 135 of 191 eligible infants. A total of 313 ROP examinations were performed; 38.5% of infants required a single examination and 16.3% required more than four. The mean gestational age and weight at birth were 30.1 ± 1.9 weeks and 1056 ± 172 g respectively. Seventy-four infants were female (54.8%). Only black (57.0%) and coloured (42.9%) infants were represented. ROP was diagnosed in 40 (29.6%) infants: Eight (5.9%) infants had clinically significant ROP. No infants had stage 4 or 5 ROP. No infants weighing more than 1250 g required treatment. Two infants received laser treatment. Infants with ROP had a lower mean gestational age and lower mean birth weight than those without ROP: 29.2 ± 1.6 vs. 30.5 ± 1.9 weeks (P < 0.002) and 988 ± 181 g vs. 1085 ± 160 g (P = 0.001) respectively. Infants with ROP were more likely to have received a blood transfusion (P < 0.002); to have late onset sepsis (P = 0.024); and to have receive d exclusive breast milk feeds (P = 0.005). There were no significant differences in the level of respiratory support, the need for oxygen therapy, the occurrence of apnoea, early sepsis or severe intraventricular haemorrhage in infants with ROP compared to no ROP. On multivariate analysis, only gestational age was independently associated with ROP was gestational age (RR 0.85; 95% CI 95% 0.740 - 0.988; p=0.03). When gestational age was excluded in post-hoc analysis, birth weight (RR 0.99; 95% CI 0.997 - 0.999; P=0.03) and blood transfusions (RR 1.71; 95% CI 1.0 27 - 2.859; P=0.03) were independently associated with ROP. Infants <1000 g had a 2.5 times higher risk of having ROP than their larger counterparts (95% CI 1.05 - 5.90, P=0.03). ROP screening was completed in 91.1% (123/135) of infants. Conclusion Clinically significant ROP was found in this study. In contrast to previous studies conducted in this setting, two patients received laser treatment. Extensive resources were required for successful screening. The strong association with birth weight and gestational age suggests that infants with lower birth weights and gestational ages should be prioritized for screening in our resource-limited setting.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether multiparous mothers of full term infants perceived newborns differently than multiparous mothers of premature infants. A convenience sample of 32 multiparous mothers was selected and placed into one of two groups according to the gestational age. Group 1 was comprised of 25 full term mothers and Group 2 was comprised of 7 preterm mothers.The Neonatal Perception Inventory - I was utilized to elicit mother's perceptions of the newborn. The instrument was found to be valid and reliable for use with multiparas. Demographic data was gathered on age, educational level, number of previous pregnancies and the classification of a high-risk pregnancy.Differences between the two groups were analyzed utilizing a ttest and Analysis of Covariance. The study's results indicated that there is no significant difference between neonatal perceptions of multiparous mothers of full term infants and multiparous mothers of premature infants.

Abstract:
Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an inflammatory bowel disease affecting premature infants. The disease can progress rapidly and is associated with high mortality. Early diagnosis can be difficult as the early manifestations of NEC can be very similar to sepsis. There is currently no pre-symptomatic screening method available. The aim of the work reported in this thesis was to identify microbial signatures in the gastrointestinal microbiota preceding NEC diagnosis in premature infants. Methods: Longitudinal (≥ daily) faecal samples and daily clinical data from throughout their neonatal intensive care unit stay were collected from 369 premature infants born at < 32 weeks gestation over a two-year period. The faecal microbiota of 12 infants with definite/severe NEC, 8 with suspected NEC, and 44 control infants was characterised using next-generation sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA gene regions. Clinical characteristics and operational taxonomical units (OTUs) that discriminated cases from controls were identified using logistic regression. Bacteria isolated from stored faecal samples underwent selective culture, and the resulting isolates were identified using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight. Isolates identified as Clostridium perfringens were additionally typed and screened for the presence of toxin genes. Results: Faecal samples collected from four NEC infants just prior to diagnosis were found to contain a higher abundance of a clostridial OTU compared to matched control samples. Culture investigation identified this OTU as Clostridium perfringens. No two Clostridium perfringens isolates were found to be identical, as determined by fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism. Infants with NEC who did not have an over-abundance of the clostridial OTU (n=7) prior to diagnosis had a faecal microbiota dominated by a Klebsiella OTU. Only one infant did not have an abundance of either the clostridial OTU or the Klebsiella OTU. The use of prolonged continuous positive airway pressure therapy with supplemental oxygen (CPAP oxygen) was also found to be associated with NEC risk. Conclusions: Two OTUs (Clostridium and Klebsiella) were identified at high levels in faecal samples collected from infants prior to NEC diagnosis. A screening tool incorporating these biomarkers with the duration of CPAP oxygen use may aid the clinician in making an early diagnosis of NEC.

Abstract:
This study examined the rates and risks of premature neonates <2500grams developing intraoperative non-euglycemia events (IONEE). A retrospective chart review of 26 premature neonates <2500 grams who underwent surgical procedures between January 1 and December 31, 2009 was conducted. Statistical analysis was done using Chi square and t-tests. Ten of the 26 subjects (38%) experienced an IONEE. Hyperglycemia was the primary IONEE that was noted in the neonates. (Mean: 143.19; sd: 56.041) Length of surgery was significantly longer in those premature neonates with IONEE than those with euglycemia (71.7 0± 27.03 vs. 45.62 ± 17.98 minutes). All IONEE subjects received general anesthesia (n=10) while none of those with only intravenous anesthesia had an IONEE (X2 (1) = 4.875, p=.027). Subjects with IONEE had a higher mean preoperative glucose level (127.11 gm/dL ± 31.66) than those who did not experienced IONEE (86.36 gm/dL ± 29.39; t(21) = 3.151, p=.005). A higher proportion of subjects who developed IONEE had the capillary heel (60%) as opposed to an arterial (40%) site for blood collection (X2 (1) = 6.518, p =.001). Also, subjects free of preoperative pulmonary complications were more prone to develop IONEE (X2 (1)= 8.60, p = .003). The presence of IONEE was associated with development of metabolic acidosis (X2 (1)= 5.426, p=.020) and lower postoperative pH values (7.19 ± 0.20 vs. 7.35 ± 0.11). Anesthesia providers need to establish intraoperative guidelines for the monitoring and treatment of IONEE to protect these premature neonates from having complications such as developmental delay.

Abstract:
O presente estudo avaliou o sistema oculomotor medido por movimentos oculares em bebês com diagnóstico de Displasia Broncopulmonar (DBP). Bebês com idade gestacional 37 semanas, dependentes de oxigênio em concentrações acima de 21% por mais de 28 dias foram incluídos no grupo DBP, bebês nascidos a Termo (idade gestacional > 37 semanas), não internados foram incluídos no grupo nascido a termo e bebês prematuros (idade gestacional < 37 semanas), que permaneceram internados e que não fizeram uso de oxigênio por mais de 10 dias foram incluídos no grupo prematuro. Os bebês dos três grupos tinham exame oftalmológico de biomicroscopia e de fundo de olho com resultados normais. Foram excluídos do estudo, bebês em uso de oxigênio sob ventilação mecânica e/ou drogas vasoativas, com diagnóstico de hemorragia intracraniana, retinopatia da prematuridade e malformações motoras e/ou neurológicas congênitas ou adquiridas identificadas no exame neonatal ou durante a estadia no berçário. Todos os bebês realizaram uma única avaliação binocular. As avaliações foram realizadas com os bebês sentados confortavelmente e eram compostas pela avaliação de quatro movimentos oculares: sacadas (SAC), perseguição lenta (PL), reflexo vestíbulo-ocular (RVO) e nistagmo optocinéticos (NOC). Os movimentos oculares foram transcritos em variável categórica (presente ou ausente) e para análise estatística foram feitas comparações entre o grupo DBP, grupo nascido a termo e grupo prematuro (Teste Cochran Q), para garantir a confiabilidade dos resultados apresentados durante a avaliação, 28% da amostra foi avaliada por três observadores e um teste de aderência X2 foi utilizado para medir a confiabilidade entre os três observadores. Durante o estudo foram avaliados 109 bebês, 107 foram incluídos no estudo, dois bebês, com IG < 37 semanas, foram excluídos por usarem oxigênio por um tempo igual há 15 dias. Dos 107 bebês avaliados, 23 foram inclusos no grupo DBP, 47 no grupo nascido a termo e 37 no grupo prematuro. Os bebês do grupo DBP tiveram IG média de 32 semanas ± 3 semanas, APGAR 1° minuto 6 ± 1, 5° minuto 8 ± 2, 37 dias em oxigênio ± 10 dias, na quantidade média de 2 L/min ± 0,5 L/min. O peso de nascimento, idade gestacional, APGAR NO 1° e 5° minutos do grupo nascido a termo, DBP e Prematuro diferem significativamente entre si (Teste Kruskal-Wallis p = 0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0013 e 0.0001, respectivamente). O grupo nascido a termo apresentou maiores valores quando comparado ao grupo DBP e prematuro. Bebês com DBP manifestam ausência de três dos quatro tipos de movimentos oculares medidos quando comparado com o grupo nascido a termo e prematuro (Teste Q Cochran onde Q > 2 e p, < 0,05)
This study evaluated the oculomotor system measured by eye movements in infants diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Infants 37 weeks gestational age, oxygen-dependent at concentrations above 21% for more than 28 days were included in the BPD group, term infants (gestational age > 37 weeks), not hospitalized were included in term groups and preterm infants (gestational age < 37 weeks), who remained hospitalized and did not use oxygen for more than 10 days were included in the premature group. The three groups of babies had eye examination and biomicroscopy of the fundus with normal results. Excluded from the study, babies on oxygen in mechanical ventilation and/ or vasoactive drugs; with a diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage, retinopathy of prematurity, motor and/or neurological congenital or acquired malformations identified in neonatal or during the stay in the nursery. All infants made a single binocular assessment. The evaluations were conducted with babies seated comfortably and were composed by the evaluation of four eye movements: saccades (SAC), slow pursuit (PL), vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) and optokinetic nystagmus (NOC). Eye movements were transcribed into a categorical variable (present or absent) and statistical analysis were made between BPD group, term group and premature group (Cochran Q test) to ensure reliable of the results presented during the evaluation, 28 % of the sample was evaluated by three observers and an adherence X2 test was used to measure the reliable between three observers. During the study, 109 infants were evaluated, 107 were included in the study, two infants with GA < 37 weeks, were excluded by using oxygen for a time equal to 15 days. Of the 107 infants evaluated, 23 were included in the BPD group, 47 in the term group and 37 in the premature group. Babies in the BPD group had GA of 32 weeks ± 3 weeks, APGAR 1st minute 6 ± 1, 5th minutes 8 ± 2, 37 days ± 10 days in oxygen, in the median amount of 2 L / min ± 0.5 L / min. Birth weight, gestational age, APGAR score at 1st and 5th minutes from the term group, DBP and Premature differ significantly (Kruskal-Wallis test p = 0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0013 and 0.0001, respectively). The term group had higher values when compared to the BPD and premature. Babies with BPD manifest absence of three of the four types of eye movements measured when compared with the term group and preterm (Cochran Q test where Q > 2 and p < 0.05)

Abstract:
The objectives of this research were to; develop a validated mathematical model of the premature neonatal lung. A description of the multi-compartmental, branched airway model of the neonatal lung is presented and shown to compare well with existing in-vivo data from the literature. The model described will be used in engineering practice to assess the design of conventional and emerging forms of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices in treating respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature neonates.

Abstract:
The observation of AT III deficiency in premature neonates with Idiopathic Respiratory Distress Syndrome (IRDS), suggests a positive predictive value for a poor outcome. The underlying diffuse intravascular coagulation could generate serious hemorrhagic complications like Peri/Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH).A prospective study was performed in consecutively born neonates to assess the predictive value of low AT III for theoccurrence of IVH, (gr. III/IV), IRDS, and death. Eighty-one neonates were included in the study during a period of 5 months. AT III levels were determined immediately after birth by a chromogenic substrate assay. Values in umbilical cord blood were identical with values in capillary or peripheral vein blood samples taken within 6 hours after birth. There was no correlation between AT III values and gestational age (r: 0.18). Twenty-four neonates with IRDS showed a mean AT III value of 0.23 U/ml (S. D. ± 0.07 U/ml) which was significantly lower than a mean AT III value of 0.35 U/ml (S. D. ± 0.1 U/ml) for neonates without IRDS (p ≺0.00005). When IVH gr. III/IV was diagnosed in neonates having IRDS (8/24) no significant difference in mean AT IIIact was observed with respect to jnean AT III levels of remaining neonates without this complication. No death occurred in neonates without IRDS. Mean AT IIIact (0.21 U/ml) in neonates with IRDS who died (9/24) was low compared with mean AT III levels of neonates with IRDS who survived (0.25 U/ml), but did not reach significance (p≻0.1). Assuming a critical value of AT III of 20% a positive predictive value of 89% for IRDS, 44% for IVH, and 56% for death was calculated. It is concluded that low AT Illact levels have a high predictive value for IRDS.
