The objective of this translational study was to evaluate the FDA-approved PediMag, CentriMag, and RotaFlow centrifugal blood pumps in terms of hemodynamic performance using simulated neonatal and pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits with different sizes of arterial and venous cannulae. Cost of disposable pump heads was ano...

Background Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the main causes of mental retardation in neonates. The disease is associated with genetic, climatic and environmental factors. Accordingly, the present study was conducted to determine the incidence rate and correlation of geographic factors with CH in Isfahan province in order to explain the role...

Neonatal patients requiring prolonged intubation are susceptible to both infection and laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS). This study investigated the effect of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) on the development of LTS in neonates. Retrospective case-control study. The incidence of LTS in neonates with VAP was compared with the incidence of LTS i...

Parenteral amino acid (AA) nutrition administration after premature birth is necessary to ensure adequate growth and neurodevelopment. However, optimizing safety and efficacy remains a major challenge. This study investigated the effects of intravenous AA administration on plasma AA profiles in premature baboons and infants. Premature baboons were ...

Introduction: Cephalosporins are a major class of antibiotics, frequently used in children because of their remarkable antibacterial activity and excellent safety profile. Time above the minimal inhibitory concentration of the non-protein-bound fraction (fT>MIC) is the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameter that correlates with the therapeutic e...

Citrulline is synthesized primarily in enterocytes. Retrospective work revealed higher plasma concentrations in patients without gastrointestinal (GI) disease than in those with GI disease, regardless of bowel resection, leading us to speculate whether it could be used as a marker of gut function prospectively. Our purpose was to analyze plasma cit...

Viviparity (live-bearing) has independently evolved from oviparity (egg-laying) in more than 100 lineages of squamates (lizards and snakes). We might expect consequent shifts in selective forces to affect per-brood reproductive investment (RI = total mass of offspring relative to maternal mass) and in the way in which that output is partitioned (nu...

Whole exome sequencing now provides a tool for rapid analysis of patients manifesting congenital diseases. Congenital diarrheal diseases provide a critical example of the challenges of combining identification of genetic mutations responsible for disease with characterization of the cell biological and cell physiological deficits observed in patien...
