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.

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.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Infants With Very Low Birth Weight

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2000
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a disease in which the primary risk factor is prematurity. Despite, and partially as a result of, the tremendous strides neonatal care has taken, it is a major cause of morbidity and mortality of the newborn. The infant with very low birth weight is particularly susceptible, and the management of the condition in this

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.

“Minitouch” treatment of very low‐birth‐weight infants

Acta Paediatrica, 1993
In a cohort study with historical controls of non‐asphyxiated very low‐birth‐weight infants (birth weight ≤ 1500 g and gestational age <33 completed weeks), we evaluated the use of a “minitouch” regime for stabilization after birth and treatment of respiratory distress.

Pulse Oximetry in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 2014
Pulse oximetry has become ubiquitous and is used routinely during neonatal care. Emerging evidence highlights the continued uncertainty regarding definition of the optimal range to target pulse oximetry oxygen saturation levels in very low birth weight infants.

Diagnosis of DIC in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 1998
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) occurs most frequently during the neonatal period. We have already established criteria for the early diagnosis of DIC in newborn infants, based on the analysis of clinical and laboratory findings in neonates with and without DIC.

Meconium Passage in Very‐Low‐Birth‐Weight Infants

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1993
The timing of the first meconium stool has been considered a marker for proper gastrointestinal functioning in the term infant. There is limited information on the meconium passage patterns of very‐low‐birth‐weight infants of less than 32 weeks' gestation. It is unknown whether feeding practices influence the timing of the first stool in these infants.

Early nutrition of very low birth weight infants

Journal of Maternal-Fetal and 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.

Early intervention for very-low-birth-weight infants

Brain and Development, 1998
To assess the efficacy of early intervention (EI) for very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants, we evaluated 62 2 year old children who were enrolled in an EI program and 48 control subjects aged 2 years. We determined the subjects' developmental quotients (DQ) and obtained information about the parents' evaluation of the children from a questionnaire sent
