Renal Calcification in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

American Journal of Nephrology, 1993
Between January 1990 and December 1991, serial real-time ultrasound examinations and analyses of urine were performed on a total of 50 infants with birth weights less than 1,500 g to assess the incidence of renal calcification. Five infants (10%) developed renal calcification at a mean age of 48.8 +/- 14.1 days. These 5 infants with renal calcification

Fractures in Very Low Birth Weight Infants With Rickets

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1997
A syndrome in very low birth weight premature infants weighing less than 1500 g is evidenced by developmental nutritional rickets and fractures at 75 days of age. In a review conducted over 42 months, 247 very low birth weight cases were identified. Rickets was diagnosed in 96 (39%) infants whose mean age was 50 days and fractures were diagnosed in 26 (

Vocal development of infants with very low birth weight

Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2005
This study describes the vocal development of infants born with very low birth weights (VLBW). Samples of vocalizations were recorded from three groups of infants when they were 8, 12 and 18 months of age: preterm VLBW infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), preterm VLBW infants without BPD, and healthy full-term infants.

Development of nephrocalcinosis in very low birth weight infants

Pediatric Nephrology, 2004
Premature infants undergo intensive growth during the postnatal period. Adequate mineralization is dependent on sufficient intake of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). However, Ca and P supplementation can be associated with some risks, for example development of nephrocalcinosis.

An Epidemiologic Study of Very Low and Very Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 1986
VVLBW infants constitute only 1 per cent of the total births, but account for 60 per cent of the NMR and 40 per cent of the IMR. While improved technology and refinements in care continue to improve survival for VVLBW infants, questions regarding the lower limits of viability must be considered.

Radiation exposure in very low birth weight infants

Minerva Pediatrica, 2019
The survival of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants increased in the past few decades. These neonates often require multiple diagnostic and management image procedures that involve ionizing radiation, which can have long term implications. The aim of our study was to evaluate the level of radiation exposure in VLBW infants during their stay in the ...

Management of Cholestasis in Infants With Very Low Birth Weight

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2000
Infants with very low birth weight (VLBW) are at increased risk of cholestasis when compared with older infants and children. Factors associated with this increased risk of cholestasis include immaturity of the biliary excretory system, a diminished immune response to sepsis, an increased incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis and short bowel syndrome,

Early nutrition of very low birth weight infants

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2009
In the past, initiation of nutritional support of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants was delayed because of concerns about the safety of nutrient administration. This contributed to the impairment of neurocognitive development that these infants often display later in life.

Airway diseases in very low birth weight infants

Journal of Perinatology
To identify the incidence and characteristics of airway diseases in very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs).A retrospective study of 214 inborn VLBWIs admitted to our NICU between April 2009 and March 2022 (approval no: 2023-0008). Neonatologists ourselves performed bronchoscopy to diagnose airway diseases.Symptomatic airway diseases were present in 36 ...
