Human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) composition varies among lactating mothers and changes during the course of lactation period. Interindividual variation is largely driven by fucosyltransferase (FUT2 FUT3) polymorphisms resulting in 4 distinct groups. Little known regarding whether maternal physiological status contributes to HMO variability. We characterized trajectories 20 major HMOs explored pre-pregnancy body mass index (ppBMI), mode delivery, or parity may affect composition. Using...
Background: Subclinical mastitis (SCM) is an inflammatory condition of the mammary gland. We examined effects SCM on human milk (HM) composition, infant growth, and HM intake in a mother–infant cohort from seven European countries. Methods: samples were obtained 305 mothers at 2, 17, 30, 60, 90, 120 days postpartum. status was assessed using Sodium (Na): Potassium (K) ratio >0.6. Levels different macro- micronutrients analyzed HM. Results: prevalence first month lactation 35.4%. Mean...
Nasal high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) has emerged as an effective initial and rescue noninvasive respiratory support mode for preterm infants with distress syndrome (RDS); however, little is known about nHFOV use in Romanian neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) may have major detrimental effects on growth and neurological development, but early intervention leads to excellent outcomes. CH is classified as transient or permanent, primary secondary, with being the most common neonatal endocrine disorder. Most patients do not present any typical signs symptoms of shortly after birth, partly due transplacental maternal thyroid hormone transfer residual function. This paper reports two cases. During initial Neonatal...
Abstract Introduction : Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) continues to be the leading cause of illness and death in preterm infants. Studies indicate that INSURE strategy (INtubate-SURfactant administration Extubate nasal continuous positive airway pressure [nCPAP]) is better than mechanical ventilation (MV) with rescue surfactant, for management respiratory very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates, as it has a synergistic effect on alveolar stability. Aim study To identify factors associated...
<b>Objective</b> The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes Romanian physicians toward withholding and withdrawing intensive care for infants whose prognosis is very poor. <b>Methods</b> A survey tool developed by authors completed participants in annual meeting Neonatology Association Romania. <b>Results</b> majority respondents attempt resuscitation all live-born infants, have never stopped at birth while infant still alive, respiratory support because poor prognosis. Nearly...
This study aimed to identify the incidence of in vitro fertilization (IVF) late preterm infants and presence respiratory pathology this premature category compared with those conceived naturally. retrospective was performed over 6 months, including newborns a gestational age between 34-36 weeks days Department Obstetrics, Gynecology Neonatology, Alessandrescu-Rusescu National Institute Mother Child Health. The following variables were assessed: infants' age, delivery mode, morbidity, need...
<h3>Background and aims</h3> Low birth weight infants are at high risk of perinatal complications death to normal or large infants. Umbilical cord abnormalities associated with this group due chronic aggravation umbilical blood flow. We want establish the anatomical features who can predict outcome newborn. <h3>Materials methods</h3> Analytical study low newborns, a duration 3 years conducted in National Institute Mother Child Health 'Alessandrescu-Rusescu', Neonatology Clinic. Were...
<h3>Background</h3> The growth and development of premature infants with gestational age less than 32 weeks is influenced by multiple factors among which parenteral enteral nutrition essential in the short long term evolution these high risk newborns. <h3>Aims</h3> Reducing incidence extrauterine restriction, neonatal morbidity mortality. <h3>Methods</h3> Retrospective study on a group or equal to weeks, cared for 2015 Neonatology Department 'Polizu' Clinical Hospital. Data were...
Objective. We aim to evaluate the implications of cesarean delivery compared natural birth by analyzing newborns’ systemic and cerebral oxygenation levels during first 10 minutes life. Design. This paper presents a 4-year prospective cohort study. Setting. Polizu Maternity, "Alessandrescu-Rusescu" National Institute for Mother Child's Protection, Bucharest, Romania. Patients. Randomly selected pregnant women their fetuses. Interventions. During min following umbilical cord clamping, regional...
