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 ...

Fungal Colonization in the Very Low Birth Weight Infant

Pediatrics, 1986
In the neonate, fungal infections result in significant morbidity and mortality. For very low birth weight (<1,500 g) infants, we prospectively determined the fungal colonization rate to be 26.7%. In one third of infants with fungal colonies, mucocutaneous candidiasis developed, and in 7.7%, systemic disease developed.

At risk for infection: The very-low-birth-weight infant

The Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing, 1994
The very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infant is at high risk for developing infection during the antenatal, prenatal, and postnatal periods. The six major predisposing factors are perinatal infections, an immature immune system, decreased natural defenses, disease states and disorders leading to infection, side effects of medication, and prolonged ...
