Even mildly premature infants have increased risk of a common respiratory tract infection
Even mildly premature infants (gestational ages of 33 weeks through 36 weeks) have an increased risk of medically attended respiratory syncytial virus infection, which is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children and can lead to pneumonia in babies. view more (2009-05-06)
What makes a fungus virulent? It's lipase
Infection with the fungus Candida parapsilosis is a major problem for individuals in intensive care units, as well as for premature infants and immunocompromised adults. Despite this, little is known about which of its genes account for its virulence. view more (2007-09-14)
Umbilical cord gene expression signals premature babies' lung disease risk
Diagnosing a risk of fatal lung disorders may be possible by analysing the umbilical cords of premature babies, according to research published in the online open access journal Genome Biology. view more (2007-10-04)
Children's Hospital researchers identify molecular 'switch' that could save very young lives
A team of researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a molecular "switch" that, when blocked, may help reverse necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a leading cause of death in premature infants. view more (2007-12-05)
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 in the rate of blood flow to the brain in premature... view more... (2002-11-27)
New study: Preterm birth causes one-third of all infant deaths
Premature birth was the underlying cause of nearly twice as many infant deaths than previously estimated, according to a new analysis by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. view more (2006-10-02)
Inhaled nitric oxide safe for tiny preemie lungs, UCSF study finds
A nationwide study led by researchers at UCSF provides evidence that inhaled nitric oxide is safe and effective for the prevention of the most common type of long-term lung disease of very premature infants. view more (2007-08-07)
World breakthrough in treating premature babies
Adelaide researchers have made a world breakthrough in treating premature babies at risk of developmental disorders. view more (2009-01-14)
SIDS link: Low blood pressure in preterm infants
Scientists from Monash University, Melbourne have shown that infants born prematurely have lower blood pressure during sleep in the first six months of life, compared to healthy, full-term infants. view more (2008-12-08)
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 infants. In some previously described outbreaks, infant... view more... (2003-12-30)
Gestational age not only factor in outcome of severely premature healthy babies
Researchers at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston say a crucial decision on whether to give intensive care to extremely premature infants should not be solely based on the infant's gestational age. view more (2008-04-17)
Womb needed for proper brain development
The brains of babies born very prematurely do not develop as well as those who are carried to full-term, according to new research presented today at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in Washington, D.C. view more (2005-11-15)
Steroid damage to premature babies
Children born very prematurely who are treated with corticosteroids to prevent and treat chronic lung disease, are showing impaired cognitive ability at age seven years compared with those given no such treatment. These are the findings of Trevor Wilson, Dr Chris McCusker and Dr Nichola Rooney of the Royal Hospital, Belfast. They will present... view more... (2004-04-15)
Pregnancy situations have impact on brain development in pre-term infants
Brain development in infants who are born very prematurely is still incomplete. Factors that cause premature birth may have an impact on the development of the premature infant's brain both during pregnancy and later on after birth. view more (2008-08-28)
Common reflux treatment linked to life threatening bowel infection in premature infants
Researchers in an NIH network have found that premature infants given a common class of non-prescription drugs used to treat acid reflux are slightly more likely to develop a potentially fatal bowel disorder than are infants who are not treated with the drugs. view more (2006-02-09)
Baby boys are more likely to die than baby girls
Male infants in developed nations are more likely to die than female infants, a fact that is partially responsible for men's shorter lifespans, reveals a new study by researchers from University of Pennsylvania and University of Southern California. view more (2008-03-25)
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)
Premature births linked to physical abuse
Premature birth can have serious effects on the development and growth of children. In many parts of the world, preterm deliveries are increasing in frequency. view more (2008-02-22)
March of Dimes: Drug to prevent preterm birth needs prompt FDA approval
The March of Dimes today urged Food and Drug Administration officials to promptly approve a commercial progesterone therapy that appears to prevent some premature births. view more (2006-08-29)
First trial on life-threatening condition finds 2 surgical approaches have same results
A nationwide clinical trial involving researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh compared two radically different surgical procedures to treat an often fatal intestinal disorder in premature infants and found nearly identical results. view more (2006-05-26)
