Hyperglycemia in Extremely- Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Neonatology, 1998
The cause of hyperglycemia in extremely-low-birth-weight (ELBW) infants is not well understood. We studied infants weighing <1,000 g to investigate the relationship of hyperglycemia to blood levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and IGF-II. We also compared two methods of treatment for hyperglycemia: continuous insulin infusion and reduction ...

Extremely Low Birth Weight and Accelerated Biological Aging

Pediatrics, 2021
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Extremely low birth weight (ELBW) (&lt;1000 g) survivors are exposed to elevated levels of physiologic stress during their lives and may be susceptible to accelerated aging. Using the oldest known longitudinally followed cohort of ELBW

Necrotizing enterocolitis in the extremely low birth weight infant

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1994
Improved neonatal management has resulted in an enlarging population of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants. These infants have a high incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and a high mortality rate. The authors compared two groups of NEC patients: ELBW infants (< 1,000 g and/or < or = 28 weeks' gestation) and "standard" premature infants (

PLACENTAL HISTOPATHOLOGY IN THE EXTREMELY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS

Fetal and Pediatric Pathology, 2008
Our objective was to evaluate the placental histopathology (PH) in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW, birth weight < 1000 g) and to determine if placental histopathological findings are associated with neonatal mortality in them. The PH of all ELBW infants (gestational age 23-30 weeks) born during a 3-year study period was prospectively ...

PROTEIN METABOLISM IN THE EXTREMELY LOW–BIRTH WEIGHT INFANT

Clinics in Perinatology, 2000
Although extensive data are available on the impact of nutrient and protein administration on growth, plasma amino acids, and nitrogen balance in the newborn and growing infants, relatively few studies have carefully examined the dynamic aspects of protein metabolism in vivo and particularly in the micropremie or ELBW infant.

Vascular ring in an extremely low birth weight infant

The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2003
Vascular rings due to aortic arch anomalies can be a major cause of tracheoesophageal obstruction in infants. But there is no report of vascular ring in an extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infant. This is a report of an infant with birth weight of 560 g, who has not diagnosed vascular ring until 6 months of age because of asymptomatic process by ...

Pulmonary Outcome in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants

Pediatrics, 2000
Objective.To determine whether infants with hyaline membrane disease (HMD) superimposed on immature lung disease (ILD) have more abnormal lung function and respiratory drive during the evolution of chronic neonatal lung disease (CNLD) in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW; &lt;1000 g).Methods.We measured lung mechanics (respiratory frequency,

Urinary acidification in extremely low birth weight infants

Early Human Development, 2002
Premature infants often present metabolic acidosis without protein load in the early neonatal period, around days 4-6. In order to elucidate the cause of acidosis, we investigated urinary acidification of infants in the early neonatal period. Urine pH, fractional excretion of HCO(3)(-) (FEHCO(3)), excretion of HCO(3)(-) and NH(4)(+) of the appropriate ...

ENERGY EXPENDITURE IN THE EXTREMELY LOW-BIRTH WEIGHT INFANT

Clinics in Perinatology, 2000
Information about energy requirements of extremely low-birth weight infants is sparse, despite the rapidly improving survival rates of this population. Metabolizable energy intake can be estimated from energy balance studies and the percentage of caloric intake that is actually absorbed by these infants is approximately 87%.
