The newborn who is born before terms is a candidate for the development of idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome. The intense hypoxia and acidosis that ensue as the consequence of inadequate alveolar-capillary exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxid may prove fatal antenatal steroid therapy can affect RDS (Respiratory Distress Syndrom) and its complications. The newborn before 34 weeks have a s...
We investigate sex-associated effects of preterm birth on cerebral gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) volumes. Preterm children (n=65) and 31 healthy, term control children had usable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data acquired at 8 years of age. Both GM and WM volumes were significantly reduced in the preterm group compared with controls. However, only males with preterm birth had signi...
Group B streptococcus (GBS) is an important cause of early- and late-onset sepsis in the newborn. Preterm infants have markedly increased susceptibility and worse outcomes, but their immunological responses to GBS are poorly defined. We compared mononuclear cell and whole-blood cytokine responses to heat-killed GBS (HKGBS) of preterm infants (gestational age [GA], 26 to 33 weeks), term infants,...
To the perinatal pathologists, preterm births are those occurring at less than 37 weeks of gestation. In almost all countries with reliable data, preterm birth rates have increased worldwide. The complications of preterm birth due to prematurity are often serious com‐ munity health problems and account for 75% of perinatal mortalities and more than 50% of long-term infant morbidities [1]. Globa...
Twenty-one preterm and 23 term neonates, 13 splenectomized children and one with congenital asplenia, and 20 normal children were examined for plasma antihaemophilic activity and for blood leucocyte levels before and 30 minutes after a subcutaneous injection of epinephrine 0-01 mg/kg. The basal values for antihaemophilic activity were similar for the 4 groups. The response to epinephrine was a ...
OBJECTIVE To compare the characteristics of neonatal seizures between preterm and full-term infants in intensive care unit. METHOD A prospective study was developed with 104 high-risk newborn, 30 preterm and 74 full-term infants, with clinical seizures. The dependent variable was gestational age. STATISTICAL ANALYSES Fisher's exact test, odds-ratio and Mann Whitney U test. RESULTS There w...
Background: Women with preterm labor put in an arrest phase by tocolytic therapy, are at increased risk of recurrent preterm labor. The aim of this study is to evaluate vaginal progesterone suppositories as compared to intramuscular type in order to prevent preterm labor in women with episodes of threatened preterm labor. Methods: This prospective longitudinal...
As part of a supplement entitled “Born Too Soon”, this paper focuses on care of the preterm newborn. An estimated 15 million babies are born preterm, and the survival gap between those born in high and low income countries is widening, with one million deaths a year due to direct complications of preterm birth, and around one million more where preterm birth is a risk factor, especially amongst...
Up to 42% of nearly 10 million under five deaths occur in neonates with prematurity being a principal cause. This paper presents the outcome of a cross sectional qualitative study conducted among 14 hospital staff engaged in infant care in Kintampo, Ghana. Confidential interviews were used to evaluate their knowledge and practice of preterm care. Critical steps in caring for normal and preterm ...
IMPORTANCE Preterm birth has been difficult to study and prevent because of its complex syndromic nature. OBJECTIVE To identify phenotypes of preterm delivery syndrome in the Newborn Cross-Sectional Study of the INTERGROWTH-21st Project. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A population-based, multiethnic, cross-sectional study conducted at 8 geographically demarcated sites in Brazil, China, I...
