background and objectives: preterm labor is a serious problem in obstetrics, accounting for 70% of perinatal mortality. high sensitive c - reactive protein (hs-crp) is a sensitive marker of inflammation. our aim in this study was to determine amniotic fluid hs-crp concentration and its correlation with pre-term delivery.   materials and methods: this prospective study was conducted on 90 pregna...

BACKGROUND Despite advances in nutritional support and intensive care, preterm infants are at higher risk of compromised neurodevelopment. OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the contribution of total parenteral nutrition (PN) to compromised neurodevelopment after preterm birth. METHODS Preterm pigs were provided PN or enteral nutrition (EN) for 10 d. Neurodevelopment was assessed by observation...

AKI was categorized as non-oliguric oliguric based on the urine-output criteria during admission. We compared di...

BACKGROUND Extremely preterm babies (delivered at <28 completed weeks of gestation) are frequently diagnosed with hypotension and treated with inotropic and pressor drugs in the immediate postnatal period. Dopamine is the most commonly used first-line drug. Babies who are treated for hypotension more frequently sustain brain injury, have long-term disability or die compared to those who are not...

OBJECTIVE To describe neonatal outcomes and explore variation in delivery of care for infants born late (34-36  weeks) and moderately (32-33 weeks) preterm (LMPT). DESIGN/SETTING Prospective population-based study comprising births in four major maternity centres, one midwifery-led unit and at home between September 2009 and December 2010. Data were obtained from maternal and neonatal records...

Preterm birth (PTB) is a live birth delivered before 37 weeks of gestation (GW). About one-third of PTBs result from the preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Up to the present, the pathogenic mechanisms underlying PPROM are not clearly understood. Here, we investigated the differential expression of long chain non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in placentas of PTBs with PPROM, and their possi...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether breech presentation is an independent risk factor for neonatal morbidity, mortality, or long-term neurologic morbidity in very preterm infants. DESIGN Prospective population-based cohort. POPULATION Singletons infants without congenital malformations born from 27 to 32 completed weeks of gestation enrolled in France in 1997 in the EPIPAGE cohort. METHODS The...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether light-emitting diode (LED) phototherapy is as efficacious as compact fluorescent tube (CFT) phototherapy for the treatment of non-hemolytic jaundice in healthy term and late preterm neonates. STUDY DESIGN Multi centre open label randomized controlled trial. SETTING Four tertiary care neonatal units. SUBJECTS Healthy term and late preterm neonates with non-hem...
