Objectives Central nervous system (CNS) infection has a high incidence and mortality in neonates, but conventional tests are time-consuming have low sensitivity. Some rare genetic diseases may some similar clinical manifestations as CNS infection. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the performance of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) diagnosing neonatal explore etiology suspected by combining mNGS with whole exome (WES). Methods We prospectively enrolled neonates who were admitted...

This study was designed to investigate the associations among ultrasonic backscatter, bone densities, and microstructure in bovine cancellous bone. Ultrasonic backscatter measurements were performed on 33 specimens with a 2.25-MHz transducer. apparent parameters ("apparent" means not compensating for attenuation diffraction) calculated optimal signals of interest. The results showed that significantly related densities ( R2 = 0.17 -0.88 ). After adjusting correlations by mineral density...

Abstract Background Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious gastrointestinal disease, primarily affects preterm newborns and occurs after 7 days of life (late-onset NEC, LO-NEC). Unfortunately, over the past several decades, not much progress has been made in its treatment or prevention. This study aimed to analyze risk factors for LO-NEC, impact LO-NEC on short-term outcomes very infants (VPIs) with focus nutrition different onset times. Method Clinical data VPIs were retrospectively...

Ultrasonic backscatter technique has shown promise as a noninvasive cancellous bone assessment tool. A novel ultrasonic diagnostic (UBBD) instrument and an in vivo application for neonatal evaluation are introduced this study. The UBBD provides several advantages, including noninvasiveness, non-ionizing radiation, portability, simplicity. In study, the signal could be measured within 5 s using UBBD. measurements were performed on 467 neonates (268 males 199 females) at left calcaneus. was...

Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a useful tool for assessing the severity of lung disease, without radiation exposure. However, there little data on practicality LUS in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and evaluating short-term clinical outcomes. We adapted score to evaluate BPD assess reliability mLUS correlated with outcomes.Prospective diagnostic accuracy study was designed enroll preterm infants gestational age < 34 weeks. ultrasonography performed at 36 weeks postmenstrual age. The predictive...

Low birth weight is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes in many diseases adult life. We investigated the expression IGF-II and status differentially methylated regions (DMR) small for gestational age (SGA) infants after birth.Plasma IGF-II, receptor (IGF2R), IGF-I, IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) levels were measured 150 newborn infants. These included 30 term appropriate (AGA), SGA, large (LGA), preterm AGA, SGA H19 IGF2 mRNA quantified by fluorescence quantitative...
