Advances in diagnostic and therapeutic methods have led to a paradigm shift the management of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The lack evidence-based data this area has variations clinical practice. aim study was identify these differences compare them with recommendations based on pathophysiology. designed as an observational online survey neonatologists from level 3 4 neonatal intensive care units caring for premature infants at increased risk BPD born before 28 weeks' gestation....
Background: Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is traditionally viewed as a disorder delayed lung fluid clearance, but emerging evidence suggests inflammatory involvement. Aim: This study investigated systemic indices [(systemic immune-inflammation index (SII-i), inflammation response (SIR-i), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NL-r), and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PL-r)] underlying mechanisms in TTN pathogenesis for first time. Methods: retrospective case–control included 199 neonates (123...
Abstract Background Evidence for impact of breast milk and fecal microbial content on jaundice (BMJ) is accumulating. We studied the influence bacterial feces BMJ also effects probiotic supplementation course jaundice. Methods Seventy‐seven patients 35 healthy controls were enrolled. Breast samples collected. Thirty‐seven received probiotics. Quantitative DNA was measured six bacteria. concentrations, bilirubin levels, decline in weight gain compared. Results concentrations five species...
The positive effects of steroids on lung development are well known, and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 has been shown to exert fetal development.We aimed investigate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants.Infants aged ≤32 gestational weeks who were admitted neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) during 1 year enrolled this prospective study. 25(OH)D obtained at time admission NICU. Patients divided into three groups...
This national cross-sectional survey aimed to assess the iodine status in pregnant women and their offspring, also demonstrate regional differences by measuring urinary concentration (UIC). For each woman her newborn a questionnaire was prepared with basic facts as age, parity number or birth weight additional information regarding thyroid diseases, use of iodized salt household, extra supplementation during pregnancy, education level wage income. The target population represented 1444 who...
Abstract Background Parenteral nutrition ( PN ) has been widely used in preterm infants. The lipid solutions for , however, are associated with oxidative stress and morbidity. aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness a new‐generation emulsion SMOFL ipid) olive‐oil based prevention ‐associated damage. Methods Preterm infants < 32 weeks gestational age were included prospective randomized study. All SMOF or (ClinOleic). Lipid peroxidation products evaluated all In addition, total...
Late-onset sepsis (LOS) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. In this study, our aim was to investigate the red-cell distribution width (RDW) levels during a LOS episode, its association with type growing microorganism mortality.Preterm infants culture-proven their neonatal intensive care unit stay were enrolled. Red-cell obtained first 4 h postnatal life at onset compared for these time frames. The study cohort divided into two groups according...
Preterm infants need nutritional and medical requirements in accordance with the physiologic maturity at birth maintaining optimal postnatal corporal cerebral growth is one of main targets caregivers. However, only a few strategies exist to improve outcomes pathogen-rich nutrient-poor neonatal intensive care unit environment. In this pilot study, we hypothesize that synbiotics may enhance brain growth, which reflected indirectly by an increase head circumference through several signalling...
Abstract Objectives Congenital syphilis can cause severe morbidities such as hydrops fetalis, preterm birth, low birth weight, hepatosplenomegaly, pneumonia, hypoglycemia, etc., and mortality. Despite hypoglycemia being reported in congenital hyperinsulinism, only one case was described. In this article, we aimed to present a newborn with born syphilitic mother who diagnosed persistent hyperinsulinemic focal lesion during follow-up. Case presentation A female patient weight of 2,450 g the 32...
Mannose-binding lectin, which belongs to the collectin family, is an acute-phase reactant that activates complement system. This study aimed investigate effect of MBL2 gene polymorphism on short-term outcomes in preterm infants.Infants <37 gestational weeks who were admitted neonatal intensive care unit during a two-year period enrolled this prospective study. The neonates categorized into two groups according their genotypes. Normal genotype was defined as wild-type (AA genotype), whereas...
Objective: This study aimed at assessing the serial carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels in preterm infants during first week of life and their variation with late-onset sepsis (LOS). Study Design: Infants <37 gestational weeks were categorized into two groups according to presence culture proven LOS. Serial COHb obtained life, onset LOS episode, upon blood negativity response antibiotics. Result: Overall 207 enrolled. A episode resulted a significant increase (p < 0.001), which decreased normal...
