Delivery of the Very Low Birth Weight Infant

Clinics in Perinatology, 1981
Very low birth weight infants are almost always the result of preterm labor, which is the most important problem in modem perinatal medicine. Response of the preterm fetus to labor and delivery, management of preterm labor and delivery, and the establishment of limits for aggressive perinatal care in very low birth weight infants are discussed.

Temperament in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Nursing Research, 1986
This project compared the temperament of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants to that of full-term infants at 6 and 12 months of age, assessed patterns of change in temperament from 6 to 12 months, and investigated effects of the neonatal experience on manifestations of temperament in VLBW babies.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Infants With Very Low Birth Weight

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2000
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a disease in which the primary risk factor is prematurity. Despite, and partially as a result of, the tremendous strides neonatal care has taken, it is a major cause of morbidity and mortality of the newborn. The infant with very low birth weight is particularly susceptible, and the management of the condition in this

“Minitouch” treatment of very low‐birth‐weight infants

Acta Paediatrica, 1993
In a cohort study with historical controls of non‐asphyxiated very low‐birth‐weight infants (birth weight ≤ 1500 g and gestational age <33 completed weeks), we evaluated the use of a “minitouch” regime for stabilization after birth and treatment of respiratory distress.

Meconium Passage in Very‐Low‐Birth‐Weight Infants

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1993
The timing of the first meconium stool has been considered a marker for proper gastrointestinal functioning in the term infant. There is limited information on the meconium passage patterns of very‐low‐birth‐weight infants of less than 32 weeks' gestation. It is unknown whether feeding practices influence the timing of the first stool in these infants.

Rickets in a Very Low Birth Weight Infant

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1989
A report on a case of rickets in a very low birth weight infant (VLBWI) is presented. The infant had no high‐risk factors for rickets and was fed a specialized preterm formula with vitamin D supplementation (200 IU daily) by 10 days of age. Feeds were advanced so that an enteral intake of 120 cal/kg/day was achieved by the 20th day of life.

Renal Calcification in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

American Journal of Nephrology, 1993
Between January 1990 and December 1991, serial real-time ultrasound examinations and analyses of urine were performed on a total of 50 infants with birth weights less than 1,500 g to assess the incidence of renal calcification. Five infants (10%) developed renal calcification at a mean age of 48.8 +/- 14.1 days. These 5 infants with renal calcification

Fractures in Very Low Birth Weight Infants With Rickets

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1997
A syndrome in very low birth weight premature infants weighing less than 1500 g is evidenced by developmental nutritional rickets and fractures at 75 days of age. In a review conducted over 42 months, 247 very low birth weight cases were identified. Rickets was diagnosed in 96 (39%) infants whose mean age was 50 days and fractures were diagnosed in 26 (
