Feeding of low birth weight infants
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2008Optimal feeding of low birth weight (LBW) infants improves their immediate survival and subsequent growth and development. Being a heterogeneous group comprising term and preterm neonates, their feeding abilities, fluid and nutritional requirements are quite different from normal birth weight infants.

Fungal colonization in the very low birth weight infant.
Pediatrics, 1986In the neonate, fungal infections result in significant morbidity and mortality. For very low birth weight (less than 1,500 g) infants, we prospectively determined the fungal colonization rate to be 26.7%.

Digoxin and Low-Birth-Weight Infants
Pediatrics, 1982In their recent communication, Johnson et al suggested that conventional digoxin use may be sufficiently toxic forlow-birth-weight infants to prompt consideration of alternative therapies. This conclusion was supported by their detection of digitalis associated illness in 9/18 small premature infants receiving digoxin in doses of 0.003 to 0.005 mg/kg ...

Infant Mortality and the Low-Birth-Weight Infant
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1985Neonatal mortality nose-dived between 1970 and 1980, largely because of increased survival of low-birth-weight infants, report McCormick et al 1 in this issue ofThe Journal. This dramatic surge in survival of infants at high risk, they note, has occurred in the wake of mothers delivering at perinatal centers with neonatal intensive care units. Because

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1989
Sir .—In the January 1989 issue of AJDC , Georgieff et al 1 report on more aggressive early neonatal nutritional management, changes in cardiopulmonary management, and a lower incidence of chronic disease in 1986 compared with 1982. This has promoted earlier onset of, and a more rapid rate of, postnatal growth that extends to the first year of follow ...

Feeding the Low Birth Weight Infant
Clinics in Perinatology, 1993A true gold standard for assessing the nutritional outcome of preterm infants remains elusive. We are seeing an expansion beyond the traditional intrauterine-based short-term growth and nutrient retention rates toward a broader, and possibly life-long, range of outcomes.

Growth of low-birth-weight infants
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1970Growth in weight, length, and head circumference was measured through the first year of life in three groups of low-birth-weight infants: very premature, moderately premature, and mature but severely undersized. Curves of growth for each group were compared to those considered normal for the fetus and newborn infant. When corrected for gestational age,

Partition of energy metabolism and energy cost of growth in the very low-birth-weight infant.
Pediatrics, 1982Energy requirements are partitioned between needs for maintenance (including resting metabolism, thermoregulation, and muscular activity) and needs for synthesis and storage of new tissue. The partition of energy utilization was evaluated by 22 metabolic

Vitamins and Low Birth Weight Infants
Pediatrics, 1980The most recent recommendation by the AAP Committee on Nutrition (Pediatrics 60:519, 1977) as to vitamin administration in the low birth weight (LBW) infant is confusing. One can appreciate that at present there is a paucity of information and much controversy as to the actual vitamin requirements of the growing LBW infant at different stages.

Insulin pump therapy in the very low birth weight infant.
Pediatrics, 1986Ten critically ill, very low birth weight infants less than 30 weeks' gestation were treated with exogenous insulin administered through a continuous insulin infusion pump (Betatron II, Cardiac Pacemaker, Inc).
