Background/Objectives: Failure to thrive (FTT) is mostly caused by insufficient consumption of nutrient-rich food, recurrent infections like diarrhea and intestinal worms, substandard caregiving practices, limited availability health other vital services. Furthermore, there was a correlation between the educational level mothers occurrence FTT in children aged 6–12 months. Thus, objective current research twofold: (i) investigate factors related (ii) evaluate impact them on Sub-Saharan...
To study the effect of specific maternal and neonatal variables on macronutrients energy composition expressed human milk samples. A prospective was conducted including 296 samples delivered from 201 participant mothers. Human analyzed using Mid-Infrared Spectrometer Analysis. Colostrum exhibited significantly higher crude protein lower fat, carbohydrate, total solids, content compared with transitional or mature milk. Milk mothers who were obese showed solids levels energy, overweight,...
Background: ISO certification is widely implemented as a quality assurance tool in healthcare services; however, its impact on patient safety culture (PSC) public hospitals remains insufficiently explored. Aim: This study aims to assess the effect of procedures different dimensions PSC hospital departments by comparing ISO-certified and non-certified across two phases (Phase A: pre-certification; Phase B: 18 months post-certification). Methods: A two-phase cross-sectional was conducted...
To compile real-time data on the preferred mydriasis practice patterns for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening in Europe.
Chorioamnionitis and fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) are significant risk factors for early onset sepsis (EOS). Recently, the use "Intrauterine Inflammation or Infection both" triple I has been proposed, classifying cases into an isolated maternal fever, suspected I, confirmed chorioamnionitis. Evidence suggests that association between chorioamnionitis histological (HCA) is not consistent, as well impact of HCA on development EOS.We aimed to evaluate HCA, EOS, effect antepartum...
Importance Commercial mydriatics administered in preterm infants during retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening have been associated with various cardiorespiratory and gastrointestinal adverse events. Objective To examine whether microdrops a combined mixture 1.67% phenylephrine 0.33% tropicamide are noninferior to standard drops regarding mydriatic efficacy at 45, 90, 120 minutes. The occurrence systemic events absorption eyedrops were additional secondary outcomes. Design, Setting,...
Antibiotics are commonly prescribed in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU), where stewardship interventions challenging. Lowering antibiotic consumption is desperately needed Greece, a country with high resistance rates. We sought to assess the effectiveness of low-cost and -resource intervention reduce use Greek NICUs implementing “low-hanging fruit” approach. A prospective quasi-experimental study was conducted 15/17 public Greece (9/2016–06/2019). The selected discontinuation antibiotics...
Netherton syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, is classified as an ichthyosiform syndrome. In this report we present the case of neonate with erythroderma shortly after birth, accompanied by severe hypernatremia, recurrent infections, transient hyperaldosteronism, and signs growth hormone (GH) deficiency. DNA molecular analysis in SPINK5 gene revealed heterozygosity our index patient for 238insG 2468delA frameshift mutations exons 4 26, respectively, maternal allele...
Abstract Purpose To study the safety and efficacy of indirect ophthalmoscopy with (Sp) or without (speculum free, SpF) use lid speculum scleral indentation for retinopathy prematurity (ROP) screening. Methods In this crossover randomized controlled trial, preterm infants received either Sp on their first SpF technique second examination a week later vice versa . Video recordings infants’ reactions were assessed by two observers, using Premature Infant Pain Profile–Revised score crying...
Abstract Maternal diet before and during pregnancy plays an important role for the developing fetus. Any eating disorder in this period can cause transient or/and permanent negative effects on mother her offspring.
Preeclampsia is a human-specific hypertensive disorder of gestation. It associated with short-term adverse effects in the fetus and long-term complications neonate, mainly due to disrupted blood flow during critical periods intrauterine development. An ischemic event uterus can affect many systems fetus, including small bowel involvement. We present case preterm, for gestational age neonate severe growth restriction, stenosis, volvulus without malrotation, born mother preeclampsia.
Abstract Purpose To assess the predictive performance of DIGIROP‐v1.0 models in identifying treatment‐requiring ROP among infants undergoing screening at a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit Greece. Methods Retrospective cohort analysis 640 consecutive screened preterm with gestational age (GA) 24 0/7 to 30 6/7 weeks and known outcome 2nd Neonatology Department Aristotle University Thessaloniki (2009–2021). The primary was development type 1 according Early Treatment criteria or treatment...
Journal of Neonatal Surgery is a peer-reviewed and open-access electronic journal. Only few journals are being published on especially from developing country, which justifies the need new journal this subject.
Neonatal osteomyelitis (OM), although exceptionally rare, has been linked to detrimental sequel, as diagnosis in the early stages is challenging and any delay treatment can lead disturbance skeletal growth. In pediatric OM most commonly grown bacteria Staphylococcus aureus followed by group A Streptococcus (GAS). Notwithstanding, sepsis-induced coagulopathy a well-known entity children adults, still sepsis-associated thrombosis sparsely observed. we present case of newborn with GAS...
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) eye examination screening presupposes adequate mydriasis for an informative fundoscopy preterm infants at risk, on a weekly basis. Systemic absorption the instilled mydriatic regimens has been associated with various adverse events in this fragile population. This report aims to present fully developed protocol full-scale trial testing hypothesis that reduced drop volume achieves while minimizing systemic events.
