Abstract Objective To investigate whether monitoring of cerebral tissue oxygen saturation using near infrared spectroscopy in addition to routine combined with defined treatment guidelines during immediate transition and resuscitation increases survival without injury premature infants compared standard care alone. Design Multicentre, multinational, randomised controlled phase 3 trial. Setting 11 tertiary neonatal intensive units six countries Europe Canada. Participants 1121 pregnant women...
Background This study aimed at documenting the levels of stress, depression, anxiety and participation in care among mothers versus fathers newborns hospitalised a third-level neonatal intensive unit (NICU) Northern Italy. Methods Parental depression were assessed by Stressor Scale NICU (PSS:NICU), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression (EPDS) State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Participation was evaluated with Index Participation. Differences between Mood’s median test z-test, respectively for...
To assess whether changes in the birth weight distribution or association of with later risk childhood overweight have contributed to development obesity epidemic.A Danish population-based cohort study 124,615 girls and 128,346 boys (ages 6 13 years), born between 1936 1983, were studied. Birth annual measurements height obtained from school health records. Overweight was defined by BMI relation internationally accepted criteria. The relative being calculated separately for each age, sex,...
<i>Leishmania donovani</i>-infected splenic macrophages and P388D1 (P388D1(I)) failed to activate T cells in response low dose of exogenous peptide. The membrane fluidity P388D1(I) was greater than that the normal counterpart P388D1(N), but could be reduced either by exposing cell below phase transition point or loading cholesterol into (L-P388D1(I)), this associated with enhanced Ag-presenting ability P388D1(I). Presentation endogenous leishmanial Ag, kinetoplastid protein-11, also...
Abstract Objective: Our aim was to examine whether secular trends in childhood overweight and obesity during five decades could be explained by economic growth. Research Methods Procedures: Annual measurements of height weight were available for all children born between 1930 1983 attending primary school the Copenhagen Municipality: 165,389 boys 163,609 girls from age 7 through 13 years. After computerization, we calculated BMI (kg/m 2 ) estimated prevalence obesity, according international...
This review provides a synopsis for clinicians on the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in breastfeeding mother.For each AED, we collected all retrievable data from Hale's "Medications and Mother Milk" (2012), LactMed database (2013) National Library Medicine, MedLine Search relevant studies past 10 years.Older AEDs, such as carbamazepine, valproic acid, phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone are considered to have good level safety during lactation, due long term clinical experience consequent...
To define percentile charts for arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
Background Extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) is common among very low birth weight (VLBW) infants and associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There are two types of EUGR definitions (cross-sectional longitudinal) many charts for monitoring postnatal growth. Aims our study were 1) to compare the rate small gestational (SGA) in a population VLBW infants, both according different (Fenton, INeS Intergrowth-21) definitions; 2) identify risk factors EUGR. Methods This single centre...
Background: Antimicrobial therapies used for treating group B streptococcus (GBS) early-onset sepsis (EOS) provide insight into clinicians’ adherence to antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) guidelines. Methods: We reviewed given treat newborns with GBS-EOS. Data were obtained from an Italian surveillance network (including 35 birthing centers) and prospectively collected 1 January 2003 31 December 2024. Empiric definitive classified as adequate inadequate. Results: There 967,054 live births 200...
To determine how different cord clamping strategies affect cerebral oxygenation in the first 15 min after birth preterm infants. A post-hoc secondary outcome analysis of a multicentre prospective randomised clinical trial (COSGOD III) conducted between October 2017 and 2021 11 tertiary neonatal intensive care units six countries Europe Canada. In present ancillary study, all included premature neonates (<32 weeks gestation) were retrospectively assigned to three groups according timing...
Studies comparing the frequency of different mental health conditions across settings and evaluating their association with parental participation in newborn care are lacking. We aimed at stress, anxiety depression, along level care, among parents newborns Italy, Brazil Tanzania.
The use of medications by the nursing mother is a common reason for interrupting breastfeeding. Few drugs have been demonstrated to be absolutely contraindicated during Excessive caution may lead health professionals unnecessarily advise interrupt breastfeeding, without assessing latest evidence or considering risk–benefit ratio taking medication versus terminating To foster an appropriate approach toward in breastfeeding women, Italian Society Perinatal Medicine created following policy statement.
Smaller cerebellar volumes in very low-birthweight (VLBW) infants at term have been related to adverse cognitive outcomes, and this study evaluated whether these were associated with a growth body composition during hospital stays.We prospectively recruited 42 VLBW from an Italian neonatal unit between January 2013 August 2015. Cerebellar measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) air-displacement plethysmography, respectively, 40 weeks of gestational age anthropometric nutritional data...
An evidence-based Consensus on the treatment of undescended testis (UT) was recently published, recommending to perform orchidopexy between 6 and 12 months age, or upon diagnosis avoid use hormones. In Italy, current practices UT management are little known. Our aim describe in a cohort Italian children comparison with guidelines. As retractile (RT) differs, RT cases were described separately. Ours is retrospective, multicenter descriptive study. online questionnaire filled by 140 Family...
