Infants born in Japan are reported to have a low incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) among countries, and these differences remained significant after adjusting for common clinical factors. To investigate the impact ethnic background, we compared NEC between infants those mothers Japanese ethnicity California. Preterm 2008 2019 at 22–29 weeks gestational age were analyzed retrospectively. Four groups analyzed: (JP), California (JP-J), with but United States or another country...
Previous studies have demonstrated that a light-dark cycle has promoted better sleep development and weight gain in preterm infants than constant light or darkness. However, it was unknown whether brief exposure at night for medical treatment nursing care would compromise the benefits brought about by such cycle. To examine possibility, we developed special red LED with wavelength of >675 nm which cannot perceive. Preterm born <36 weeks' gestational age were randomly assigned periodic to...
Among neonates with Down syndrome (DS) and transient leukemia (TL), hyperleukocytosis (white blood cell [WBC] count >100 × 10(9) /L) is associated increased viscosity, respiratory failure due to pulmonary hypertension, multiorgan failure, risk of early death. There have been no previous studies focusing on the effects exchange transfusion (ExT) WBC count, status, other parameters in TL patients hyperleukocytosis.An observational retrospective study was carried out at a single center all five...

Abstract Our recent study on full-term toddlers demonstrated that daytime nap properties affect the distribution ratio between and nighttime sleep duration in total time but does not overall amount of daily time. However, there is still no clear scientific consensus as to whether naps or just itself more important for healthy child development. In current study, gain an answer this question, we examined relationship cognitive development born prematurely using actigraphy Kyoto scale...
Abstract In a fetus with suspected heterotaxy syndrome, decreased/absent baseline variability of fetal heart rate pattern developed at gestational week 36 +5 and continued for 5 days until birth 37 +2 , while repeat biophysical profile scorings ultrasound were consistently unremarkable. This neonate weighing 2404 g Apgar scores 7 (1‐min) 8 (5‐min) umbilical arterial cord blood pH 7.28 base deficit 3.9 mmol/L, showed 120 b.p.m. 3 h after birth, but subsequently sinus bradycardia (84 b.p.m.)...
Abstract A number of studies have been made on the sleep characteristics children born preterm in an attempt to develop methods address problems commonly observed among such children. However, reported from these vary depending observation used, i.e., actigraphy, polysomnography and questionnaire. In current study, obtain reliable data preterm-born children, we investigated difference properties between 97 term toddlers approximately 1.5 years age using actigraphy. Actigraphy units were...
