Nursing care of the neonate in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is complex, due in large part to various physiological challenges. A newer and less well-known physiological consideration is the neonatal microbiome, the community of microorganisms, both helpful and harmful, that inhabit the human body. The neonatal microbiome is influenced by the maternal microbiome, mode of infant birth,...

This article presents the elements of the Observation and Assessment section of the Infant Care Path for Physical Therapy in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The types of physical therapy assessments presented in this path are evidence-based and the suggested timing of these assessments is primarily based on practice knowledge from expert therapists, with supporting evidence cited. Asse...

Complete trisomy 14 mosaicism is a rare chromosome disorder and was first reported in 1970. We describe a case of a male neonate who presented complete trisomy 14 mosaicism in only 4% of the cells from peripheral blood. A nineteen-day-old male neonate was born as result of the second pregnancy. The infant was delivered by cesarean section due to gestational hypertension and chronic fetal distre...

BACKGROUND Early-onset sepsis is a common diagnosis in neonatal intensive care units. Because of the low incidence, overtreatment is also common. OBJECTIVE To measure the sensitivity and negative predictive value of 2 serial white blood cell counts and a negative blood culture at 24 hours in predicting a noninfected neonate in the evaluation of early-onset sepsis. METHODS We performed a his...

Data from four multicenter trials1-4 indicates that hypothermia is effective in diminishing brain injury in some neonates with moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Currently, hypothermia is emerging as a standard of care for certain neonates with HIE. Meta-analysis suggests the therapy may prevent long-term neurologic deficits in one neonate for every 8 treated.5 Since hypo...

BACKGROUND Fused lower limbs combined with severe urogenital malformation, also known as sirenomelia, is a rare congenital clinical syndrome. The etiology is unknown, and the outcome for the affected fetus is rather uncertain.

Neonate-directed care is rare in non-avian reptiles, but female pitvipers attend their young for a period of time after birth. One of the primary functions of parental care is the protection of offspring from predators, and parents of diverse taxa are able to modulate their antipredator behavior in the presence of offspring. To test the hypothesis that the antipredator behavior of post-parturie...

BACKGROUND With the development of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), new issues have emerged for physicians working in this area, including the ethical aspects of providing invasive and advanced care to neonates with extremely poor prognosis. This research was undertaken with the aim of investing the factors affecting physicians' practice in management of newborns in such complicated circu...
