New Technique For Measuring Blood Flow To Brain In Babies (p 1749)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe how an ultrasound technique can be used as a non-invasive way of measuring blood flow to the brain in babies, which may be of benefit to infants with brain disorders arising from restrictions in cerebral blood flow. Changes... view more (2002-11-27)

In births involving a single baby, infants fared worse... view more (2004-01-23)

UCL scientists gauge pain in premature babies
Scientists at UCL (University College London) have measured responses to pain in the brains of premature babies and have shown that they are likely to experience 'true' pain rather than simply displaying reflex reactions.   view more (2006-04-05)

Calcineurin helps newborns breathe easy
It is only very late in pregnancy that the lungs of the fetus complete their development so that the fetus will be able to breathe air when it is born.   view more (2006-09-22)

Liquid ventilation
The main problem that premature babies have is that their lungs are not well formed. In order to alleviate this situation, the Nautical School at the University of the Basque Country has developed a liquid respiration respirator.   view more (2006-03-29)

Study Suggests Widespread Environmental Presence Of Enterobacter Sakazakii (pp 5, 39)
A bacterium that can be dangerous to premature babies and young infants could be more widespread in the environment than previously thought, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Enterobacter sakazakii occasionally causes illness among premature babies and... view more (2003-12-30)

New treatment could reduce chronic lung disease in premature babies
