Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. During the last few years, there was an increase in the incidence of this disease, associated with a better knowledge of NEC, and an increase in survival rate, associated with the development, even from a technological point of view, of neonatal intensive care ...

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most serious and frequently acquired gastrointestinal disorder in neonates. The pathogenesis of NEC is unknown, but it may result from a disturbance of the delicate balance among gastrointestinal perfusion, enteric organisms, and enteral feeding.

Necrotizing enterocolitis: An update
Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2011Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading cause of death among patients in the neonatal intensive care unit, carrying a mortality rate of 15-30%. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial and involves an overreactive response of the immune system to an insult. This leads to increased intestinal permeability, bacterial translocation, and sepsis.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis of the Neonate
Clinics in Perinatology, 1989Necrotizing enterocolitis is the most common gastrointestinal emergency in the newborn. The syndrome strikes premature infants during the first 2 weeks of life. Abdominal distention, lethargy, and feeding intolerance are early signs of NEC that may progress to gastrointestinal bleeding and hemodynamic instability.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Leukemia
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1973Necrotizing enterocolitis occurring in leukemia is not well appreciated. In a recent 18-month interval this lesion was found in 12% of leukemia cases in which autopsies were done. A segment of bowel exhibiting necrosis, edema, and hemorrhage were noted in the distal ileum, the cecum, or the ascending colon.

CYTOKINES IN NECROTIZING ENTEROCOLITIS
Shock, 2006Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating intra-abdominal emergency in the newborn period. The disease involves bowel wall inflammation, ischemic necrosis, eventual perforation, and the need for urgent surgical intervention. Unrecognized or left untreated, the neonate can decompensate quickly, often progressing to shock, multisystem organ ...

Prevention of Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Clinics in Perinatology, 2022Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is considered to be one of the most devastating intestinal diseases seen in neonatal intensive care. Measures to treat NEC are often too late, and we need effective preventative measures to alleviate the burden of this disease.

Feeding and Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1980Twenty-six infants had necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in the neonatal unit of the Long Island Jewish-Hillside Medical Center, New Hyde Park, NY, between 1964 and 1976; 25 of these cases occurred between 1973 and 1976. The relationship of feeding practices to this clustering of NEC cases was investigated in two ways: (1) A 10% sample of all admissions,

THE RADIOLOGY OF NECROTIZING ENTEROCOLITIS
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1999This article reviews the radiology of necrotizing entercolitis (NEC), with an emphasis on the sensitivity and specificity of the typical plain film findings. An approach to radiologic diagnosis is suggested. The more recently described entity of perforation without NEC also is described.
