Maternal Serum Ferritin, C-Reactive Protein, and Procalcitonin Levels for Predicting Subclinical Intra-Amniotic Infection in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membrane

مجلة كلية الطب
Background: The preterm premature rupture of the membrane is linked to various perinatal problems, including chorioamnionitis. Objectives: To evaluate the use of serum ferritin, C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin as early indicators for predictions

Employing a Haemodynamic Score to Predict Acute Kidney Injury in Infants With Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study hypothesised that infants with a haemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) as defined by a validated score have a higher incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods A retrospective study was conducted including infants < 29 weeks' gestation, born at the Rotunda Hospital.

Correlation between placental bacterial PCR results and histological chorioamnionitis: a prospective study on 41 placentas

Journal of Biological Research
Chorioamnionitis or intra-uterine inflammation is considered the most common infection diagnosed in labor and delivery units worldwide. It is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, as well as neonatal death and sepsis.

Effect of Chorioamnionitis on Mortality, Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Preterm Neonates with Birth Weight of ≤1,500 Grams [PDF]

, 2014
The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of chorioamnionitis on mortality and early onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm neonates with birth weight ≤1,500 g.

Exposure to chorioamnionitis alters the monocyte transcriptional response to the neonatal pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis [PDF]

, 2018
Preterm infants are uniquely susceptible to late-onset sepsis that is frequently caused by the skin commensal Staphylococcus epidermidis. Innate immune responses, particularly from monocytes, are a key protective mechanism.

Neurodevelopment and Growth 2 Years After Probiotic Supplementation in Extremely Preterm Infants: A Randomised Trial

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To assess neurodevelopment and growth at 2 years corrected age in children born extremely preterm, supplemented with Limosilactobacillus reuteri or placebo. Methods Design: Secondary analysis of register data after randomised double‐blind placebo‐controlled trial. Setting: Inclusion at two neonatal intensive care units in Sweden.

Dermatitis as a component of the fetal inflammatory response syndrome is associated with activation of Toll-like receptors in epidermal keratinocytes [PDF]

, 2006
AIMS: Microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) elicits a fetal inflammatory response such as funisitis and chorionic vasculitis. However, little is known about the changes of fetal skin during MIAC.

Less Invasive Surfactant Administration Versus Intubate‐Surfactant‐Extubate: Associated With Reduced Mechanical Ventilation in Extremely Preterm Infants

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To compare less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) and intubation‐surfactant‐extubation (INSURE) in infants born before 28 weeks gestational age (GA) by the need for mechanical ventilation (MV). Methods LISA was introduced in 2017 in our unit without formal prior LISA‐specific training as an equal alternative to INSURE.

Predicting chorioamnionitis in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes using inflammatory indexes: a retrospective study

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2023
Objective: The prognosis of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) combined with chorioamnionitis is often unsatisfactory for both mother and newborn.

Neuroprotection for neonatal hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy: A review of novel therapies evaluated in clinical studies

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Hypoxic‐ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a neurologic condition that is caused by insufficient oxygen and blood flow to a newborn infant’s brain. Although therapeutic hypothermia can reduce the degree of brain injury in some infants with HIE, many infants with HIE will have significant lifelong disabilities despite receiving this treatment.
