<h3>Importance</h3> Feeding intolerance is a common condition among preterm infants owing to immaturity of the gastrointestinal tract. Enteral insulin appears promote intestinal maturation. The concentration in human milk declines rapidly post partum and absent formula; therefore, recombinant (rh) for enteral administration as supplement formula may reduce feeding infants. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess efficacy safety 2 different dosages rh both formula. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3>...
Objective Scientific evidence supports the use of less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) techniques, but certain issues may be limiting its generalized incorporation in clinical practice. The objectives were to determine level acceptance LISA techniques Spanish hospitals, types methods used, target population, and premedication administered. Study Design An online survey was designed sent various secondary/tertiary hospitals Spain. Results Among 67 neonatal units contacted, 44...
A cross-sectional single-center study was designed to compare the fatty acids profile, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels, between milk banking samples of donor human and mother’s own (MOM) for feeding preterm infants born before 32 weeks’ gestation. MOM from 118 mothers included colostrum (1–7 days after delivery), transitional (9–14 days), mature (15–28 ≥29 days). In n-3 polyunsaturated (PUFAs) group, levels α-linolenic (C18:3 n3) DHA (C22:6 showed opposite trends, whereas...
Prenatal ultrasound study allows the detection of fetal malformations. Intrauterine interventions are now contemplated to correct, or interfere with, natural history these anomalies. Minimally invasive techniques, such as so-called "Fetendo" (fetal endoscopy), therapeutic possibilities.From 2002 2007, 205 fetoscopies were performed in our hospital's surgery program. Fetoscopic carried out under epidural anesthesia, accessing uterine cavity with a fetoscope containing 1.2-mm telescope....
An observational comparative study was designed to assess the fatty acids profile in erythrocyte membrane phospholipids of 30 preterm neonates (<32 weeks gestation) at birth and after 1 month life versus a convenience sample 10 infants born term. The panel included families components saturated (SFAs), monounsaturated (MUFAs), n-6 n-3 polyunsaturated (PUFAs) as well enzyme activity indexes ratios. At birth, comparison acid between term showed significantly higher content SFAs PUFAs, lower...
Objective: Intrauterine-growth restriction is associated with impaired neurodevelopment. However, studies on early childhood neurodevelopment of premature infants placenta-related intrauterine-growth (IUGR) are scarce and heterogeneous. We aimed to analyze the impact IUGR preschool age in preterm infants, ascertain which prenatal postnatal factors influence these infants.Methods: Prospective cohorts study: 48 25 matched non-IUGR (mean gestational age: 31.4 31.6 weeks, respectively)....
The prognosis of giant cervical teratomas is determined by the severity associated airway obstruction. Ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) a technique to establish patent before completion birth, while infant remains on placental support. We present two cases newborns with treated EXIT procedure. In first, this allowed tracheotomy be performed, and in second, correction tracheal displacement subsequent nasotracheal intubation was achieved.
The main aim was to compare the effects of two parenteral lipid emulsions on retinopathy prematurity (ROP) incidence, severity, and need for treatment. Secondary effect weight gain in first 6 weeks life.
Oral administration of hypertonic solutions can contribute to intestinal damage in the initial stages neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis. The purpose this study is determine osmolality oral liquid dosage forms used a division neonatology and establish some recommendations for their dilution.The 26 has been measured using freezing-point depression method.Oral present an greater than 350 mOsm/kg H2O. 19.2% all analysed presented lower 1500 H2O, 80.7% were over that figure, while 23% extremely...
To study the association between gestational age (GA) and weight at birth development of retinopathy prematurity (ROP), in particular link postnatal gain during first 6 weeks need for ROP treatment.Retrospective observational premature infants who underwent ophthalmoscopy Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Barcelona, Spain, June 2017 December 2018. We collected data on obstetric characteristics, comorbidities, GA birth, weekly weeks.Ninety patients with a mean ± SD 26.87 1.90 884.29 227.40...

Hypophosphatasia, a rare genetic disease affecting bone metabolism, is characterized by decreased activity of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). The gene encoding TNAP (ALPL) has considerable allelic heterogeneity, which could explain different degrees enzyme resulting in wide clinical variability. We report the case preterm newborn whom corneal opacity was detected at birth. Blood tests performed to investigate this finding showed low concentrations. disappeared within week...
