Necrotizing Enterocolitis

open access: yes, 2009
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common life threatening surgical and medical emergency affecting the gastrointestinal tract encountered in the neonatal intensive care unit. NEC occurs in 2–5% of all preterm infants although the majority of cases develop in infants less than 36 weeks of gestational age. It has been noted that infants born at

Less Invasive Surfactant Administration Versus Intubate‐Surfactant‐Extubate: Associated With Reduced Mechanical Ventilation in Extremely Preterm Infants

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To compare less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) and intubation‐surfactant‐extubation (INSURE) in infants born before 28 weeks gestational age (GA) by the need for mechanical ventilation (MV). Methods LISA was introduced in 2017 in our unit without formal prior LISA‐specific training as an equal alternative to INSURE.

Factors Affecting the Relationship Between Total and Unbound Bilirubin in Preterm and Term Infants

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Newborn infants universally experience jaundice, most of which is physiologic, but in some high‐risk situations, it may lead to neurological dysfunction or death. Unbound bilirubin (Bf) may be the best predictor of bilirubin toxicity in this population. The goal of the study is to examine the relationship between total serum bilirubin (TSB)

Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions of a Free Boundary Problem Modelling the Growth of Tumors with Stokes Equations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2008
We study a free boundary problem modelling the growth of non-necrotic tumors with fluid-like tissues. The fluid velocity satisfies Stokes equations with a source determined by the proliferation rate of tumor cells which depends on the concentration of nutrients, subject to a boundary condition with stress tensor effected by surface tension.
