Journal ArticleDOI
Fetal growth restriction and pulmonary hypertension in premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia
Jennifer Check,Nina L. Gotteiner,Xin Liu,Emily J. Su,Nicolas F M Porta,Robin H. Steinhorn,Karen K. Mestan +6 more
TL;DR: BW-for-GA is an important predictor of PHTN in premature infants with moderate–severe BPD, and contributes to the growing evidence supporting fetal mechanisms of later onset pulmonary vascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhaled prostacyclin for term infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension refractory to inhaled nitric oxide.
Lisa K. Kelly,Nicolas F M Porta,Denise M. Goodman,Christopher L. Carroll,Robin H. Steinhorn,Robin H. Steinhorn +5 more
TL;DR: Oxygenation rapidly improved after inhalation of PGI(2) in all infants, and one infant subsequently deteriorated, and alveolar capillary dysplasia was found at autopsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential Patterns of 27 Cord Blood Immune Biomarkers Across Gestational Age
Nana Matoba,Yunxian Yu,Yunxian Yu,Karen K. Mestan,Karen K. Mestan,Colleen Pearson,Katherin Ortiz,Nicolas F M Porta,Nicolas F M Porta,Poul Thorsen,Poul Thorsen,Kristin Skogstrand,David M. Hougaard,Barry Zuckerman,Xiaobin Wang,Xiaobin Wang +15 more
TL;DR: The distribution of immune biomarkers in cord blood across gestational age is described and the association between biomarker level patterns and preterm birth is investigated to provide important information that could be used to guide additional studies aimed at determining mechanisms that contribute to pre term birth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Placental pathologic changes of maternal vascular underperfusion in bronchopulmonary dysplasia and pulmonary hypertension
Karen K. Mestan,Jennifer Check,Lucy Minturn,Sushmita Yallapragada,Kathryn N. Farrow,Xin Liu,Emily J. Su,Nicolas F M Porta,Nina L. Gotteiner,Linda M. Ernst +9 more
TL;DR: Placental MVU may identify BPD infants who were exposed to intrauterine hypoxia-ischemia, which increases their risk for development of PH disease, and further increased with PH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary vasodilator therapy in the NICU: inhaled nitric oxide, sildenafil, and other pulmonary vasodilating agents.
TL;DR: Currently available therapies for pulmonary hypertension, their biologic rationales, and evidence for their clinical effectiveness are discussed.
