        Probiotics supplementation reduces the incidence of necrotising enterocolitis and infections

        Probiotics are beneficial bacteria which help premature babies by improving milk feed tolerance and reducing the risk of a life-threatening gut ...

        Enteral Vitamin A for Reducing Severity of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: A Randomized Trial

        Evidence suggests that intramuscular vitamin A reduces the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. Our objective was to compare enteral water-soluble vitamin A with placebo supplementation to reduce the severity of BPD in extremely preterm infants. ...

        Early versus late parenteral nutrition in term and late preterm infants: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

        Despite the wide use of parenteral nutrition (PN) in neonatal intensive care units (NICU), there is limited evidence regarding the optimal time to commence PN in term and late preterm infants. ...

        Human Milk Sodium and Potassium as Markers of Mastitis in Mothers of Preterm Infants

        This prospective longitudinal study examined changes in milk sodium concentration (Na) and sodium:potassium ratio (Na:K), microbiological culture, milk production, and breast health in relation to mastitis after preterm birth. ...

        Neonatal Docosahexaenoic Acid in Preterm Infants and Intelligence at 5 Years

        Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a component of neural tissue. Because its accretion into the brain is greatest during the final trimester of pregnancy, infants born before 29 weeks' gestation do not receive the normal supply of DHA. The effect of this deficiency on subsequent cognitive development is not well understood. ...

        Screening for retinopathy of prematurity to prevent blindness (RETCAM)

        Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an eye disease that can occur in premature babies. It causes abnormal blood vessels to grow in the retina, and ...

        Outcomes in extremely low birth weight (≤500 g) preterm infants: A Western Australian experience

        Extremely preterm infant survival has significantly improved with advanced neonatal care; however outcomes of infants born with birth weight ≤500 g remain poor. We aimed to review outcomes of this cohort in our Institution. ...

        Impaired Cytokine Responses to Live Staphylococcus epidermidis in Preterm Infants Precede Gram-positive, Late-onset Sepsis

        Late-onset sepsis (LOS) with Staphylococcus epidermidis is common in preterm infants, but the immunological mechanisms underlying heightened susceptibility are poorly understood. Our aim is to characterize the ontogeny of cytokine responses to live S. epidermidis in preterm infants with and without subsequent Gram-positive LOS. ...
