Filter by:Background: It is increasingly recognized that late preterm infants have increased respiratory morbidity in the neonatal period as well as decreased lung function in later life. Also, in-utero growth retardation (IUGR) and low birth weight are associated with increased respiratory morbidity beginning from infancy, throughout childhood and into adulthood. However, very few studies have assessed long term respiratory consequences of late preterm birth in comparison with IUGR. Aim: To determine respiratory morbidity of late-preterm vs infants with IUGR at school age Study Design: Participants included late-preterm AGA infants (34-36, 6/7 weeks), IUGR infants (term/preterm) and term AGA infants born between 2004 and 2008 were included in this study and assessed for respiratory morbidity at school age. To assess the impact of late-preterm birth compared with IUGR and term gestation on respiratory morbidity by using a validated questionnaire. Wheezing, infectious respiratory morbidity and physician-diagnosed asthma panels were evaluated.
Interpreting the cry of new-borns is a real challenge not only for perinatal professionals but also for parents, who are confronted daily with those sounds. The description and the acoustic analysis of baby's cry can allow healthcare professionals to better adapt their care during the first months of life. Thanks to an objective analysis method as acoustic analysis, the particularities of the first cry should provide us information on the quality of adaptation to ambient air life.
Chronotype (or circadian preference) has previously been shown to be associated with sexual attitudes and behaviors and is an important factor affecting sexual satisfaction. The fact that some neurobiological variables, which are thought to have a role in ejaculation physiology, are also effective in the processes of sleep and the regulation of circadian rhythm, and evidence supporting the relationship between circadian preferences and sexual desire and sexual behavior; suggests that ejaculation disorders may be related to circadian preference. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT), severity of disease and chronotype in lifelong PE.
ABSTRACT Objective: To test the effect of the Premature Infant Oral Motor Intervention (PIOMI) at 29-30 weeks post-menstrual age on the development of oral-motor function and sucking capacity. Study Design: This study was a single-blind randomized controlled experimental design. The sample consisted of 60 preterm babies from two Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Gaziantep, Turkey between May 2019 and March 2020, with 30 each in the control and experimental groups. The PIOMI was applied to the experimental group for five minutes a day for 14 consecutive days. Sucking capacity, growth, feeding outcomes, and length of hospital stay (LOS) were measured. The Yakut Manometer Measuring Suction Power (PCT/TR2019/050678) was developed specifically for this study and tested for the first time.
Prospective study comparing hemodynamic and respiratory changes and exercise capacity during Cardio-Pulmonary-Exercise-Testing (CPET) in 4 groups of infants; Three different groups of premature infants and term controls
Prematurity birth lead to an early breaking link with the in utero environment. A special attention is brought in the neonatal intensive care units to reduce noise and lighting surrounding aiming to protect the newborn. During the uterine life fetus benefits previously of several auditory stimulations by the maternal voice, the mother's heartbeat. After birth the auditory environment is dramatically modified. Aim of this study is to submit to the newborn an audio recording of his mother's heart beat to analyze the comfort, stress and autonomic response. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is a non-invasive tool able to consider autonomic nervous system activity. Previous studies have shown that pleasant feelings are associated with an increase of high frequencies variations index (HFnu index) reflecting a prevalence of parasympathetic activity in the sympathetic-parasympathetic balance. This one can be simply assess by a monitor named NIPΣ and can provide a comfort index by quantifying the parasympathetic tone.
The objective of this study is to perform ultrasound Doppler measurements to evaluate the hemodynamic changes associated with different methods of placental transfusion (Intact umbilical cord milking, cut- umbilical cord milking and delayed cord clamping) in premature neonates over the first days of life.
Effect of immersion bathing and showering applications on comfort level and physiological parameters of Newborn
The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17P) therapy on the latency period in pregnant women with Preterm premature rupture of membranes.
Reliability of infant neurological international battery (INFANIB) among hospitalized preterm infants will be checked. This study will mainly focus on test-retest reliability.
