Aldosterone is important in the regulation of sodium conservation by both kidney and colon. In the very preterm neonate marked urinary salt wasting occurs because of immature renal tubular function, but little is known of the ontogeny of colonic transport processes. Using an in vivo rectal dialysis technique, we have shown that in the human infant the colon has well developed salt conserving me...

to make an effective contribution to both the theory and care of the preterm neonate, viewed as a unique, emergent, coactional and hierarchical human being . . . The formal framework for this is Neonatal Health Psychology (NNHP), which is defi ned as ‘the scientifi c study of biopsychosocial and behavioural processes in health, illness, and health care of the preterm (and fullterm) neonate duri...

A 34-year-old woman at 25 weeks 3 days was diagnosed with preterm labor and underwent an emergency cesarean section. The neonate did not cry or show any activity. The heart rate was 80 beats/min and the oxygen saturation on pulse oximetry (SpO2) was 77%. Immediately, positive pressure ventilation was delivered by T piece resuscitator, and then anesthesiologist performed endotracheal intubation....

Platelet transfusions can be lifesaving for neonates with thrombocytopenic hemorrhage. However, multiple themselves convey risks and hazards. We cared a preterm neonate severe/prolonged acquired thrombocytopenia who received 61 platelet transfusions. Her counts stabilized, further were not needed, following three escalating doses of romiplostim.

Preterm neonatal care is important aspect of parenting. The main objective this study to find out the predictors Posttraumatic growth among primary caregivers newborn babies affected with hyperbilirubinemia. In preterm hyperbilirubinemia were studied posttraumatic growth. sample 300 parents was collected. results found that diverse variables such as coping skills, personality traits and parenta...

At the time when most preterm babies are delivered, nephrogenesis is still ongoing, with the majority of nephrons normally formed during the third trimester of pregnancy. The extrauterine environment, however, is suboptimal for organogenesis, and therefore renal development is likely to be adversely affected by preterm birth. In the long-term, there is emerging evidence of high blood pressure a...
