Chronic lung disease in premature infants

Critical Care Medicine, 1988
A retrospective case-control study involving 99 premature infants requiring vigorous respiratory support was conducted to investigate the relative contribution of various etiologic factors in the development of chronic lung disease (CLD). Nineteen of the 99 developed CLD. Background and management factors up to the development of CLD, with attention to

Strategy for the prevention and treatment of chronic lung disease of the premature infant

Pediatric Pulmonology, 1999
Based on the analyses of approximately 1,000 infants with CLD, this condition was classified into 7 types according to the preceding illnesses and the chest X-ray appearance. The profile of inflammatory enzymes, cytokines and chemical mediators supported the relevance of the classification.

Management of infants with chronic lung disease of prematurity in the United Kingdom

Early Human Development, 2005
The management of chronic lung disease of prematurity (CLD) is challenging for the neonatologist. There are few well-powered randomised controlled trials to inform practice and longer-term outcomes of some interventions have only recently been identified (for example the possible association between the use of corticosteroids and neurodevelopmental ...

Pathophysiology and histopathology of group B streptococcal sepsis in Macaca nemestrina primates induced after intraamniotic inoculation: evidence for bacterial cellular invasion.

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1992
Four pregnant Macaca nemestrina dams at 140-145 days of gestation received an intraamniotic inoculation of group B streptococci (GBS). All four premature infants were born by cesarean delivery, were bacteremic at birth, and showed symptoms of GBS sepsis ...

EFFECT OF OBSTETRIC DIFFICULTIES AND MATERNAL DISEASE ON PREMATURE INFANT MORTALITY

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1949
Several studies made by others1have stated the conclusion that maternal factors were not important in relation to the neonatal survival of the premature infant. The usual contention is that the birth weight of the premature infant largely determines its ability to initiate a satisfactory extrauterine existence. Obviously, birth weight as an evidence of

Infection following splenectomy in infants and children; a review of the experience at Duke Hospital in infants and children during a twenty-two-year period (1933-1954).

A M A Journal of Diseases of Children, 1958
The incidence of sepsis following splenectomy, particularly in infants, is a subject of current interest. King and Shumacher 1 in 1952 reported the occurrence of meningitis in four of five infants splenectomized under 6 months of age for congenital ...

Mechanism of gastroesophageal reflux in premature infants with chronic lung disease

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1999
The aim of this study was to characterize the motor events responsible for gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and esophageal acid clearance in a cohort of preterm infants with chronic lung disease (CLD).Esophageal motility was recorded for 2 to 3 hours postprandially in 14 preterm infants with mild-moderate or moderate-severe CLD at 33 to 39 weeks ...
