The current SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19) pandemic is a sudden major stressor superimposed on pre-existing high distress in parents of infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This study aimed investigate psychological wellbeing NICU during COVID-19 pandemic. Forty-four 25 inpatients Padua University Hospital were included from June 2020 February 2021.

Abstract Objective The aim of our study was to collect data on complementary feeding (CF) in preterm infants (PIs). Methods We enrolled PI ≤ 34 weeks gestational age discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) University Hospital Padova. At 12 months corrected (CA), CF investigated with questionnaires parents and a 24‐h dietary recall. In subgroup newborns, we also evaluated bone status at CA using quantitative ultrasound. Results studied 167 ex 1 year CA. introduced 67.1% them...
We analyzed and compared variations in the urinary metabolome, as well postnatal clinical outcomes among preterm infants, based on timing of antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) administration response to labor onset their mothers. This was a prospective observational study held Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Department Woman's Child's Health, Padova University Hospital (Italy). A urine sample obtained from each patient within 24 h birth; Mass Spectrometry-based untargeted metabolomics analysis...
Enteroviruses (EVs) are the most common causes of viral myocarditis in neonates. Neonatal enterovirus manifestations range from nonspecific febrile illness to congestive heart failure and cardiogenic shock with high risk in-hospital mortality long-term cardiac sequelae. Early recognition is essential undertake appropriate therapy predict outcomes. Echocardiography echo-derived left ventricular strain measures seem promising for these purposes. We herein report two cases neonatal...
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) together with preterm birth could be harmful to bone health. The aim of the study was examine status in IUGR versus non-IUGR preterms and analyze nutritional management best correlated its improvement. Newborns < 34 weeks gestational age (wGA), 75 non-IUGR, admitted Neonatal Intensive Care Unit University Hospital Padova were enrolled monitored from until 36 wGA through anthropometry (weight, length, head circumference, lower limb length (LLL)),...
A preterm male infant born by C-section at 29 weeks of gestational age because severe intra-uterine growth restriction was admitted to our unit receive the necessary care and non-invasive respiratory support. The patient underwent umbilical venous catheter placement (one vein two arteries were seen on cord inspection) with easy advancement catheter, but needed an unusually long insertion device. desired cavo-atrial position tip confirmed radiography, which however showed unusual pattern...
