Periventricular Hemorrhage in Term and Late Preterm Neonates: Risk Factors and Outcomes

Background: Periventricular hemorrhage (PVH) is common in early preterm neonates but much less common in term and late preterm neonates. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors and outcomes of PVH in term and late preterm neonates in a tertiary care center in Upper Egypt. Methods: A total of 33 term and late preterm (≥ 34 weeks...

Neutrophil functions in late preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome

INTRODUCTION The innate immune system is the first line of host defense against invading microorganisms. In order to achieve this, neutrophils must be able both to circulate freely in the blood and to migrate as adherent cells into the extravascular tissues to phagocytose and kill invading microorganisms effectively. Most studies of neutrophil function have been conducted under conditions of am...

Phototherapy motivates protein and lipid oxidation in jaundiced term and late term neonates

Background: Hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most important complications encountered in neonatal units. It has been proposed that phototherapy yields oxidative stress. Therefore, this study was undertaken to survey the levels of antioxidant and oxidative stress in the serum of neonates before and after phototherapy. Methods: This study was performed on thirty-five healthy, late preterm (>35 w...

Pulmonary air leak associated with CPAP at term birth resuscitation.

OBJECTIVE The Japan Resuscitation Council (JRC) Guidelines 2010 for neonatal resuscitation introduced continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in delivery room. The present study evaluated the effect of CPAP for pulmonary air leak at term birth. DESIGN, SETTING AND PATIENTS This retrospective single-centre study used the data of term neonates who were born without major congenital anomalies...
