Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Infection

Clinics in Perinatology, 1994
Infections are considered to play an important role in the pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The evidence for infectious causes of NEC is reexamined, with special attention to the clinical definition and reported outbreaks of NEC. Future areas of study are proposed.

Comparison of Risk Factors in Necrotizing Enterocolitis among Infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Çukurova Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2013
Purpose: Necrotizing enterocolitis is one of the important problems of premature infants. The incidence is about 1-5% in infants followed in neonatal care units and inversely related to gestational age and birth weight.

Risk factors of necrotizing enterocolitis among neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at the selected public hospitals in southern Ethiopia, 2023

Frontiers in Pediatrics
IntroductionNecrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious intestinal condition characterized by ischemic necrosis of the intestinal mucosa, inflammation, and invasion by gas-forming organisms, posing a significant threat to neonatal health.

Bifurcation analysis of a free boundary model of vascular tumor growth with a necrotic core and chemotaxis [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
A considerable number of research works has been devoted to the study of tumor models. Several biophysical factors, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, chemotaxis, angiogenesis and necrosis, have been discovered to have an impact on the complicated biological system of tumors.

Continuous positive airway pressure in delivery room in extremely preterm infants: A single‐center retrospective study in China

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
In extremely preterm infants, nasal continuous positive airway pressure in the delivery room is recommended at the beginning of respiratory support to maintain functional residual volume, improve lung compliance, and increase oxygenation. However, when used in developing nations, these high‐quality studies from developed nations revealed some different

Microvillus Inclusion Disease Associated with Necrotizing Enterocolitis in a Premature Infant

American Journal of Perinatology Reports, 2014
Microvillus inclusion disease is one of the congenital diarrheal disorders characterized by the appearance of inclusion bodies on the intestinal epithelium.

Analysis of a mathematical model describing necrotic tumor growth [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
In this paper we study a model describing the growth of necrotic tumors in different regimes of vascularisation. The tumor consists of a necrotic core of death cells and a surrounding nonnecrotic shell. The corresponding mathematical formulation is a moving boundary problem where both boundaries delimiting the nonnecrotic shell are allowed to evolve in

Simulation of glioblastoma growth using a 3D multispecies tumor model with mass effect [PDF]

, 2018
In this article, we present a multispecies reaction-advection-diffusion partial differential equation (PDE) coupled with linear elasticity for modeling tumor growth. The model aims to capture the phenomenological features of glioblastoma multiforme observed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. These include enhancing and necrotic tumor structures,
