Objective Regarding the use of lung ultrasound (LU) in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) across Europe, to assess how widely it is used, for what indications and its implementation might be improved. Design intervention International online survey. Results Replies were received from 560 NICUs 24 countries between January May 2023. LU uptake varied considerably (20%–98% NICUs) countries. In 428 (76%), was used clinical indications, while 34 (6%) only research purposes. One-third had <2...
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or chronic lung disease is one of the principal causes mortality and morbidity in preterm infants. Early identification infants at greater risk developing BPD may allow a targeted approach for reducing severity complications. The trigger cause comprehends impairment alveolar development increased angiogenesis. Nevertheless, molecular pathways characterizing are still unclear. Therefore, use metabolomics technique, due to capability identifying instantaneous...
Pleural effusions are rare in the neonate and may be associated to several clinical conditions. Only a few series of pleural fetus newborn described literature.This study was undertaken determine more accurately causes prognostic significance population high-risk neonates.A retrospective chart review 62 neonates admitted neonatal intensive care unit six medical centers north Portugal, between 1997 2004, that presented diagnosis effusion.33M/29F newborns; preterms 47 (76%); GA 33 (25-40) wk;...
To evaluate the association between histological chorioamnionitis and brain damage (intraventricular hemorrhage cystic periventricular leukomalacia) in preterm newborn.This was a retrospective study on neonates born at less than 34 weeks gestational age, their respective mothers, three tertiary medical centers north of Portugal, from January 2001 to December 2002.The included 452 newborns (235 male/217 female; birth weight 1440 (515-2620) grams; age 31 (23-33) weeks), 125 mothers whose...
Late preterm delivery (74% of all births) increases the incidence respiratory pathology, namely distress syndrome (RDS), transient tachypnea newborn (TTN) and need ventilator support when compared to term delivery. The aim is evaluate morbimortality in late infants risk factors associated with RDS TTN.Descriptive retrospective study newborns 34+0 36+6 weeks gestational age, born at our center between September 1, 2012 August 31, 2015. Those major malformations, chromosomopathies, hydrops...
Purpose: To identify risk factors and predictors of severity associated with meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) in the patients admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).Materials methods: Retrospective study including newborns admitted, between 2005 2015, a diagnosis MAS.Results: Of NICU, 0.66% were diagnosed MAS. These had higher prevalence caesarean delivery (p < .001), nonreassuring or abnormal cardiotocography (CTG) intrapartum maternal fever = .002), Apgar scores at first minute...
O bioma Mata Atlântica é reconhecido por sua rica biodiversidade. Entretanto, enfrenta desafios significativos devido à fragmentação e degradação causadas atividades antrópicas. Em resposta a esse contexto, educação ambiental foi escolhida como abordagem central, visando cultivar uma nova geração de indivíduos comprometidos com preservação dos recursos naturais. Neste sentido, o projeto teve principal objetivo promover sensibilização sobre importância da conservação do Jequitibá rosa...
Evaluate the hematological parameters and indices in blood count collected on first day of life (D1) very premature infants born to mothers with early-onset preeclampsia (PE) their correlation increased neonatal morbimortality. Changes hematologic counts after birth associated PE have been demonstrated by recent studies, although inconsistently. Retrospective study between 2008 2023, at a level III intensive care unit, including preterm gestational age below 30 weeks. A was D1 comparison...
Introduction: The challenge of maintaining normoxemia in preterm infants undergoing respiratory support and oxygen therapy has led to the development closed-loop automatic control systems for FiO2. aim this study was assess effectiveness these SpO2 within a target range (90% - 94%) neonates receiving supplemental oxygen.Methods: We conducted single-centre prospective over three-year period (2020 2023) including with gestational age < 33 weeks who received first 24 hours life either...
A promoção e prevenção da saúde bucal representam um desafio significativo para os cirurgiões-dentistas na Estratégia Saúde Família (ESF). eficácia dessas ações depende utilização de ferramentas que aumentem a adesão facilitem aplicação intervenções educativas, com o objetivo melhorar autocuidado população. O desenvolvimento do jogo “O super dentinho ,em uma aventura pela bucal”, visou contribuir dentistas ESF, participam Programa Escola (PSE) implementando ferramenta pedagógica/educacional...
Various cytokines have been associated to the occurrence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm neonates.To establish an association between cord blood and BPD, so that they could be used, clinical practice, as early markers BPD.Preterms less than 30 weeks gestational age, were analysed by ELISA microassay for venous IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α IL-10, compared BPD non-BPD groups.One hundred fifty neonates completed study; 31 (21%) small age (SGA); 16 deceased before 28 days life; 36...

This study was undertaken to evaluate the role of IL-5 in eosinophil migration and maintenance eosinophilia a guinea-pig model visceral larva migrans syndrome. The results show that infection animals with Toxocara canis induced an early increase serum levels might be essential for differentiation proliferation development eosinophilia. When infected guinea-pigs were treated mAb anti-IL-5 (TRFK-5) given at same time or 1 3 days after infection, there high percentage reduction counts 18...
<i>Objective:</i> In congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) the severity of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is considered, by several authors, determinant clinical outcome. Plasmatic N-terminal-pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) might be useful in diagnosis and management PH newborns, although its interest CDH infants remains to defined. Early NT-proBNP levels were assessed correlated with cardiovascular echocardiographic parameters. <i>Patients Methods:</i> 28...
