Neonatal Resuscitation Practices in Turkey: A Survey of the Turkish Neonatal Society and the Union of European Neonatal and Perinatal Societies.

Objective: Optimal care in the delivery room is important to decrease neonatal morbidity and mortality. We aimed to evaluate neonatal resuscitation practices in Turkish centers.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional survey consisted of a 91-item questionnaire focused on delivery room practices in neonatal resuscitation and was sent to 50 Turkish centers.

A Randomized Comparative Effectiveness Study of Reflexology, Sucrose, and Other Treatments for Needle Procedures in Newborns.

Background: Approximately 10 to 14 painful procedures per day are performed in infants during the hospital stay. We aimed to determine the effect of reflexology applied to the sole during painful procedures on pain perception in newborns compared with other nonpharmacologic methods.

Methods: Our study was planned as a randomized controlled trial in term infants being followed up in the neonatal intensive care unit and maternity ward.

Rhinovirus as a rare cause of acute onset dilated cardiomyopathy due to myocarditis in a newborn: case report and review of the literature.

Background: Cardiomyopathies account for 1% of cardiac diseases that mainly originate from myocarditis in the form of dilated cardiomyopathy in the neonatal period. Viruses are the main cause of myocarditis resulting in dilated cardiomyopathy. Rhinovirus is the leading cause of viral respiratory infections though it is rarely severe.

Brain proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and neurodevelopment after preterm birth: a systematic review.

Background: Preterm infants are at risk of neurodevelopmental impairments. At present, proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS) is used to evaluate brain metabolites in asphyxiated term infants. The aim of this review is to assess associations between cerebral H-MRS and neurodevelopment after preterm birth.

Evaluation of the neuroprotective efficiency of sodium hydrosulfide in neonatal rats with the induced hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy model.

Aims: Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is one of the main causes of neonatal deaths. The objective of this study was to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) in neonatal rats with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, as well as its effect on neuronal apoptosis through histopathological and biochemical tests.

Methods: Forty-seven-day‑old rats with induced hypoxia‑ischemia (HI) were randomly separated into four groups.
