Background: In previous piglet experiments of profound asphyxia and cardiac arrest, recovery was similar when 21 and 100% oxygen were used for positive pressure ventilation (PPV). There was no consistent reduction in inflammation and oxidative stress in piglets ventilated with 21 or 100% oxygen. Objectives: We aimed to investigate hypoxic resuscita...

Objective:The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) blood flow and intestinal motility with feeding tolerance in infants with gastroschisis. Study Design: This was a prospective observational cohort study of 23 infants with gastroschisis. Magnetic resonance images were obtained at abdominal wall clo...

Background: While late decelerations and major bradycardia episodes in intrapartum cardiotocography (CTG) recordings are known to correlate with fetal distress,little is known of the importance of the saltatory pattern. Objective: The aim of the study was to examine whether the fetal heart rate (FHR) saltatory pattern in intrapartum CTG registratio...

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains a major cause for neonatal mortality and morbidity in preterm infants. The purpose of this review was to summarize evidence from systematic reviews of randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) regarding antenatal and postnatal interventions for preventing NEC. PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library Databases, Databas...

Background: At term-equivalent age, infants born prematurely are shorter, lighter and have more adipose tissue compared to term counterparts. Little is known on whether the differences in body composition persist in later age. Methods: We prospectively recruited 33 preterm infants (

Background: The mechanisms underlying neonatal platelets hyporesponsiveness are not fully understood. While previous studies have demonstrated developmental impairment of agonist-induced platelet activation, differences in inhibitory signaling pathways have been scarcely investigated. Objective: To compare neonatal and adult platelets with regard t...

Maternal ingestion of naphthalene-containing mothballs is an uncommon cause of perinatal toxicity. Naphthalene toxicity is associated with methemoglobinemia, hypotension, hemolytic anemia, and hyperbilirubinemia, as well as other hepatic, renal, and respiratory complications. Naphthalene exposure is a common cause of toxicity in older children, but...

Background: The use of intraosseous (IO) access during resuscitation is widely accepted and promoted in paediatric medicine but features less prominently in neonatal training. Whilst umbilical venous catheterization (UVC) is a reliable method of delivering emergency drugs and fluids, it is not always achievable in a timely manner. IO access warrant...

Background: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) often presents with severe cardio-respiratory impairment in the neonatal period. Affected infants may be exposed to multiple nephrotoxic insults, predisposing them to acute kidney injury (AKI). The prevalence of AKI in a CDH cohort has not previously been described. Objectives: The primary aim of th...

Background: Endogenous carbon monoxide (CO) production is primarily due to heme degradation, which also results in the equimolar production of bilirubin. Thus, estimates of total body CO production can serve as indices of total body bilirubin formation. The elimination rate of CO from a person’s body (CO washout rate) after exposure to an elevated ...
