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 ...

Leukemoid Reaction in Extremely Low-Birth-Weight Infants

American Journal of Perinatology, 1999
The objective of this paper was to determine the incidence of leukemoid reaction and to evaluate its relationship with maternal and neonatal factors in extremely low-birth-weight (ELBW) infants. The design a case-controlled retrospective study of all live-born ELBW infants ( or = 50,000/mm3.

Visual Acuity in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants

Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, 1997
The increased viability of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants (those weighing less than 1,000 g) and the associated increased risk of visual impairment has highlighted the need for reliable indices of visual functioning for this population.

Mothering an Extremely Low Birth-Weight Infant

Advances in Neonatal Care, 2010
Mothers of preterm infants are reported to experience heightened levels of psychological stress, greater than mothers of full-term infants during the neonatal period. The purpose of this study is to describe the lived experience of what it is like to be a mother of an extremely low birth-weight infant during their stay with their infants in the NICU ...

Etiology and outcome of extremely low-birth-weight infants

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1996
Our purpose was to determine whether the reason for delivery of extremely low-birth-weight infants influenced the immediate neonatal outcome.At a regional perinatal center a retrospective analysis of 111 neonates with birth weights between 500 and 800 gm and their respective mothers was performed.

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,
