The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of an antibiotic treatment (Josamycin) in the case of positive PCR for Ureaplasma spp. and/or Mycoplasma hominis in the second quarter on the risk of premature birth.
The intestinal flora is a complex ecosystem which is known to play various important functions in the gut. Recent data have reported a delay in intestinal colonization in preterm. Modulating the intestinal flora through dietary supplementation with probiotics or prebiotics has been shown to improve digestive and general outcomes in full-term infants.The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical tolerance, the effect on gut microbiota, and the mucosal inflammatory responses to a fermented milk in preterm infants.
An evaluation of a preterm infant formula containing ingredients similar to those found in breastmilk
Placement of a vaginal pessary reduces significantly the rate of spontaneous preterm birth in pregnant women with short cervical length at 18-22 weeks scan.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the expression of protein biomarkers in cervical vaginal fluid in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM)
The aim of the present study is to describe the performance of very low birth-weight preterm toddlers regarding expressive language and cognitive development during sensorimotor and beginning of pre-operational periods, as well as to compare the performance presented by these children to that presented by their full-term peers, according to Genetic Epistemology theoretical principles. The hypothesis of this study is that very-low birth weight preterms would present a poorer performance, concerning expressive language and cognition development,than their full-term peers.
Premature infants with iron deficiency if supplemented with more elemental iron than the routine 2mg/kg/day will have improved brain development.
To evaluate weight gain of preterm infants fed fortified human milk.
Although several studies have contrasted the hemodynamics of cerebral arteries using cranial Doppler ultrasound between full-term and preterm infants, the assessments were mostly conducted in the first days of life. Furthermore, the clinically significant hemodynamic parameter has been established from a small sample of infants that its validity on other populations remains unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study is twofold: 1. to examine the hemodynamics of cerebral arteries in full-term and very low birth weight preterm infants at term age 2. to assess the validity of the hemodynamic parameters in relation to concurrent neurobehavioral function. This study will enroll normal full-term infants and very low birth weight preterm infants who have no major neonatal disease. Cranial Doppler ultrasound examination will be performed on all infants at term age. Hemodynamic parameters will include peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity, resistance index and pulsatility index for the bilateral anterior cerebral arteries and middle cerebral arteries. Neurobehavioral development will be administered on the same day using the Neonatal Neurobehavioral Examination- Chinese version.
