A new study found that surfactant therapy significantly reduced the death rate of premature white infants, but failed to have a similar impact on black infants. The study, which analyzed 1,563 premature births, showed that while the overall mortality rate dropped 16%, the death rate for premature black infants remained unchanged.
Researchers are assessing the audiological and educational benefits of the DigiFocus, a revolutionary device that adjusts automatically to different noise levels. The study aims to show that children with hearing loss will benefit from this technology and accelerate their speech, language, and social development.
