Improved outcome for very low birth weight multiple births

Pediatric Neurology, 2005
This study describes time trends for very low birth weight multiple births in relation to very low birth weight singletons. Two cohorts of very low birth weight (less than 1250 gm) children recruited between 1983-85 (cohort 1, n = 115) and 1992-94 (cohort 2, n = 144) were compared.

Delivery of the Very Low Birth Weight Infant

Clinics in Perinatology, 1981
Very low birth weight infants are almost always the result of preterm labor, which is the most important problem in modem perinatal medicine. Response of the preterm fetus to labor and delivery, management of preterm labor and delivery, and the establishment of limits for aggressive perinatal care in very low birth weight infants are discussed.

Temperament in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Nursing Research, 1986
This project compared the temperament of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants to that of full-term infants at 6 and 12 months of age, assessed patterns of change in temperament from 6 to 12 months, and investigated effects of the neonatal experience on manifestations of temperament in VLBW babies.

Lung Function in Very Low Birth Weight Adults

Pediatrics, 2015
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Lung function attained in young adulthood is 1 of the strongest predictors of obstructive airways disease in later life. Adults born preterm at very low birth weight (VLBW; <1500 g) who have experienced bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) have reduced lung function.

Rickets in a Very Low Birth Weight Infant

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1989
A report on a case of rickets in a very low birth weight infant (VLBWI) is presented. The infant had no high‐risk factors for rickets and was fed a specialized preterm formula with vitamin D supplementation (200 IU daily) by 10 days of age. Feeds were advanced so that an enteral intake of 120 cal/kg/day was achieved by the 20th day of life.

Redox Status in Very-Low Birth-Weight Newborns

Neonatology, 2004
Inborn metabolic diseases, such as disorders in pyruvate metabolism, in gluconeogenesis or in the respiratory chain, may present with lactic acidosis in newborn infants. A simple tool to screen for the efficacy of mitochondrial oxidation reduction activity is the detection of the redox status through simultaneous measurements of plasma lactate ...
