Journal ArticleDOI
Retinopathy of prematurity
TL;DR: Strategies to prevent retinopathy of prematurity will depend on optimisation of oxygen saturation, nutrition, and normalisation of concentrations of essential factors such as insulin-like growth factor 1 and ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids to promote normal growth and limit suppression of neurovascular development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal intrauterine infection, cytokines, and brain damage in the preterm newborn
Olaf Dammann,Alan Leviton +1 more
TL;DR: Unifying models postulate how proinflammatory cytokines might lead to IVH and neonatal white matter damage during prenatal maternal infection and intervene to prevent later disability in those born near the end of the second trimester.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genest,Debra S. Heller,Susan Shen-Schwarz +37 more
TL;DR: Echolucent images of cerebral white matter, seen on cranial ultrasonographic scans of very low birth weight newborns, predict motor and cognitive limitations and indicators of maternal infection and of a fetal inflammatory response are strongly and independently associated with EL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chorioamnionitis, mechanical ventilation, and postnatal sepsis as modulators of chronic lung disease in preterm infants.
Linda J. Van Marter,Olaf Dammann,Elizabeth N. Allred,Alan Leviton,Marcello Pagano,Marianne Moore,Camilia R. Martin +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that prolonged mechanical ventilation or postnatal infection increases the risk of CLD among surviving preterm infants and that these 2 factors interact with antenatal infection to further increase the riskof CLD.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The goal of the present study was to test the hypothesis that moderate systemic inflammation is sufficient to alter white matter development.
