Neonatal hypothermia and associated factors among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit of public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

BMC Pediatrics, 2018
BackgroundNeonatal hypothermia is a worldwide problem and an important contributing factor for Neonatal morbidity and mortality especially in developing countries. High prevalence of hypothermia has been reported from countries with the highest burden of

Versatile Silicon‐Based Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Chip for Quantitative Sensing and Point‐of‐Care Applications

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study fabricates highly sensitive, uniform SERS substrates scalable to wafer level. The dual‐function substrates integrate high‐density hot spots and spectral references for accurate quantitative detection, achieving 10⁻¹2 M BPE sensitivity (<5% deviation). Their application in monitoring urinary caffeine citrate for preterm infant apnea treatment

Embryological development of the intestine and necrotizing enterocolitis

Journal of Pediatric and Neonatal Individualized Medicine, 2016
It is possible to distinguish two phases in the development and maturation of the intestine: intra-uterine and extra-uterine. Up until the 13th week of the embryological phase, a fetus’ development is not controlled by factors external to the alimentary

Implantable Microarray Patch: Engineering at the Nano and Macro Scale for Sustained Therapeutic Release via Synthetic Biodegradable Polymers

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
This review focuses on the application of synthetic biodegradable microarray patches (MAPs) in sustained drug delivery. Compared to conventional MAPs which release drugs into the skin in an immediate manner, these implantable MAPs release drugs into skin microcirculation gradually as the biodegradable polymers degrade, thus offering sustained release ...

Implantable, Label‐Free NIR‐Based Porous Silicon Biosensor for Monitoring Biomarkers in Interstitial Fluid

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
Implantable biosensors hold the promise to revolutionize the way disease diagnosis and progression during treatment are viewed. However, in the current state of art, their efficiency is limited by certain material challenges. Porous Silicon (pSi) is a viable material for in vivo monitoring of biomarkers, and its potential as an implantable biosensor is

Peripheral perfusion index-reference range in healthy Portuguese term newborns

Journal of Pediatric and Neonatal Individualized Medicine, 2014
Introduction: Peripheral perfusion index (PPI) is a non-invasive numerical value of peripheral perfusion derived from a pulse oximeter signal. It has been suggested that PPI may be a valuable adjunct diagnostic tool to detect early clinically significant

Troubling care in the neonatal intensive care unit

Geoforum, 2020
The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a site of medical treatment for premature and critically ill infants. It is a space populated by medical teams and their patients, as well as parents and family. Each actor in this space negotiates providing and practicing care.

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: Environmental Stressors and Supports

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018
The relationship between maternal mental health and infant development has been established in the literature. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a particularly challenging environment for new mothers as several natural processes are disrupted ...

Emerging Therapeutic Strategies for Hearing Loss

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Challenges still exist in treating hearing loss in cases of severe damage to hair cells or spiral ganglion neurons. Here, a schematic diagram of cochlear sensory hair cells and auditory nerves is presented. It is found that in normal Corti organs, hair cells have upright stereocilia at the top and auditory neurons at the base. Ototoxic drugs, noise, or
