Article Synopsis
- - Echocardiography in neonates helps identify congenital heart defects and provides a 3-vessel view (3VV) to visualize the relationship between major blood vessels and the thymus gland.
- - A preliminary study collected and analyzed 1,331 thymus records from both preterm (321) and full-term (1,010) neonates, measuring thymus width, depth, and the thymic 3VV index (TI 3VV).
- - Findings showed that thymus dimensions correlate with body weight, gestational age, and body surface area; specifically, thymus depth can serve as an effective screening measure for assessing thymus size.
Background: Bleedings are more frequent in the population of preterm children than among those born at term, much less in older children. The reasons for such bleedings in preterms include plasma factor deficiencies, immaturity of small vessels in the germinal matrix region, prenatal hypoxia or sepsis. They affect the brain tissue, the gastrointestinal tract and the respiratory system, or are manifested by prolonged bleedings from injection sites.
