[ 1 ] - Effect of Cutaneous Application of Sunflower-Seed Oil on Serum Triglyceride and Cholesterol Levels in Preterm Infants

Intravenous lipid solution (intralipid) provides essential substances for optimizing growth in premature infants, but has potential side effects. We investigated the effects of dermal application of sunflower-seed oil (SFSO) as a substitute for intralipid in preterm infants. This study comprised of 20 preterm infants, unable to be fed enterally divided into case and control groups of equal numb...

[ 2 ] - The Efficacy of Oral Erythromycin in Enhancement of Milk Tolerance in Premature Infants: A Randomized Clinical Trial

[ 3 ] - Effects of the Different Light-Source Distances from the Skin Surface in Conventional Photother-apy

Phototherapy is a conventional method of lowering serum bilirubin in newborn jaundice. We evaluated the short distance in relation to conventional long distance phototherapy between the light-source and the skin surface. Healthy jaundiced neonates undergoing phototherapy were randomized into two groups. The distance between the light-source and the newborn's skin was 20 and 40 centimeters (G20;...
