Unlocking the first year: Immunologic, hematologic, and lung health challenges in premature infants

Pediatrics and Neonatology
Background: Data on the development of immune, hematologic, and lung function in preterm infants beyond the early postnatal period are limited. This study aimed to determine whether these systems in preterm infants mature to levels comparable to full ...

Massage Stimulation Reduces Tumor Necrotic Factor-alpha and Interleukin-6 in Preterm, Low Birth Weight with Appropriate Gestational Age Newborns [PDF]

, 2013
Preterm newborn is susceptible from various stresses such as infections or non infections. During stress, immune response is activated by synthesizing and releasing of cytokines from activated immune cells into the circulation.

Population pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin in breastmilk in patients with rifampicin‐resistant tuberculosis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Levofloxacin is a widely used antibiotic included in rifampicin‐resistant tuberculosis (RR‐TB) treatment. Data describing levofloxacin concentrations in breastmilk and infant exposure are limited. We analysed data from two South African studies of breastfeeding women receiving levofloxacin (750–1000 mg daily) for RR‐TB.

Inhaled nitric oxide as an adjunct to neonatal resuscitation in premature infants: a pilot, double blind, randomized controlled trial. [PDF]

, 2020
BackgroundNitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in normal postnatal transition. Our aims were to determine whether adding inhaled NO (iNO) decreases supplemental oxygen exposure in preterm infants requiring positive pressure ventilation (PPV) during ...

Population pharmacokinetic modelling of amoxicillin in human breast milk—A contribution from the ConcePTION project

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Amoxicillin, a widely used β‐lactam antibiotic, requires improved pharmacokinetic characterization during breastfeeding. This study used a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) approach to model amoxicillin concentrations in breast milk, identify variability sources and estimate infant exposure, applying worst‐case scenarios.

Three dimensional optical imaging of blood volume and oxygenation in the neonatal brain [PDF]

, 2006
Optical methods provide a means of monitoring cerebral oxygenation in newborn infants at risk of brain injury. A 32-channel optical imaging system has been developed with the aim of reconstructing three-dimensional images of regional blood volume and ...
