Filter by:This study will evaluate the effect of maternal-infant skin-to-skin contact (SSC) versus routine care on general stress in preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
One in ten births will occur prior to 37 weeks of gestation leading to serious complications such as problems with lung, heart and brain function and an increased risk of infant mortality. Solutions exist to treat risk factors related to preterm birth but these solutions require timely identification of the risks which is often not possible within regular prenatal care. This study will evaluate MyHealthyPregnancy, an application that monitors for common risks associated with preterm birth and recommends solutions to the expectant mother and care team.
RCT assessing preterm delivery rate in singleton pregnancies having a physical-exam indicated cerclage placed between 24 weeks and 25 weeks and 6 days. Patients randomized to either cerclage intervention or routine standard of care (no cerclage).
A Longitudinal Study of Function, ADL, and Quality of life of Patients with Developmental Disabilities
Several clinical and preclinical studies have focused interest on lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], showing a direct and independent relationship of its circulating levels with the progression of atherosclerosis and its clinical manifestations. However, to date, Lp(a) represents an underestimated predictor of CV risk, especially in higher-risk populations, such as patients with strong CV familiarity and recurrent and/or early-onset CV events. The key point of the project will be the evaluation of the role of Lp(a) in the development of atherosclerotic disease and, specifically, acute coronary syndrome.
The aim of this work to study the hemodynamic changes accompanying anemia of prematurity in neonates with gestational age ≤32 weeks and the effect of its treatment on hemodynamics.
The management options of Patent Ductus Arteriosus are still controversial and differ between centers. Recently, conservative management has been gaining interest as the evidence of benefit from medical treatment in terms of mortality and morbidity is lacking. This study will compare oral ibuprofen (the standard treatment) with the conservative treatment, in terms of ductal closure and morbidity and mortality at discharge in preterm neonates less than 34 weeks.
Objectives: Kangaroo care is a safe and effective alternative method to conventional neonatal care for newborn babies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of kangaroo care on the transition time to full oral feeding in preterm infants fed by gavage. Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial. This study was conducted in a level III neonatal intensive care unit of a university hospital in eastern Turkey 50 premature babies with a birth weight of ≥ 1000 g and a gestational age of 27-36 weeks, and their mothers were included in the study. The cases were randomly divided into two groups: kangaroo care, which would be applied up to five days a week, and standard care. Records of cases were kept regularly from their hospitalization until they reached full oral feeding.
To study the safety and efficacy of intranasal administration of exosomes derived from mesenchymal stromal cells on long-term neurodevelopmental outcome in extremely low birth weight infants born at gestational age 25/0-27/6 weeks.
The purpose of the study is to understand the effect of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) on patients with diminished ovarian reserve (including premature ovarian insufficiency).
