Maternal obesity and development of the preterm newborn at 2 years

Elizabeth T. Jensen, +80 more
TL;DR: Maternal obesity was associated with poorer performance on some assessments of neurocognitive function in this cohort of infants born extremely preterm, and it is suggested that opportunities may exist to mitigate risk through education and behavioral intervention before pregnancy.

Are preterm newborns who have relative hyperthyrotropinemia at increased risk of brain damage

TL;DR: The association of HTT with increased or decreased risk of indicators of brain damage depends on the presence or absence of ISSI, and Elevated risk of a very low mental development score was associated with both ISSI only and HTT+ISSI, whereas a veryLow motor development score and microcephaly were associated with HTT+.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns of blood protein concentrations of ELGANs classified by three patterns of respiratory disease in the first 2 postnatal weeks.

TL;DR: The association between elevated concentrations of 25 blood proteins in blood spots collected on postnatal d 1, 7, and 14 from infants <28 wk gestation who survived to 24 mo and the risk of two patterns of early lung disease i.e. early and persistent pulmonary dysfunction and normal early pulmonary function followed by pulmonary deterioration was examined.
