Background: The oropharyngeal administration of colostrum (OAC) in neonates has several benefits.
Purpose: To investigate the short-term outcomes of OAC in preterm neonates.
Methods: We performed this 2-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial at a tertiary neonatal center in Iran in 2021-2023.
Objective: Having a preterm infant is a stressful experience for parents, especially for mothers. This study was conducted to identify the effect of kangaroo mother care on the resilience of mothers with preterm infant hospitalized in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Materials And Methods: In this randomized controlled trial study, 60 mothers with preterm infant hospitalized in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit were randomly selected and allocated to intervention and control groups (30 per group), in Fatemiyeh Hospital, Hamadan, Iran.
Background: To date, few studies have compared the effectiveness of exogenous surfactant therapy with Curosurf and Beraksurf in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm neonates.
Objective: Since surfactant has a significant impact on the treatment of neonates with RDS, this study was conducted to introduce a more effective method for treating preterm neonates with RDS.
Methods: The present clinical trial was conducted on 140 preterm neonates with RDS in the NICU department of two specialized university hospitals in Hamadan, western Iran.
Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the impact of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) on mothers' resilience and their confidence in breastfeeding, utilizing role-play as a training method in a neonatal intensive care unit.
- - A randomized controlled trial was conducted with mothers divided into intervention and control groups, where the intervention group received role-play training, and their results were measured through questionnaires before and after the training.
- - The results showed significant improvements in resilience and breastfeeding self-efficacy for mothers who participated in the role-play training compared to those who did not, suggesting that KMC training is beneficial and should be implemented in clinical practices.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of counselling on stress and self-esteem of mothers with hospitalized premature infants.
Materials And Methods: This parallel randomized clinical trial was conducted on 80 primigravida mothers aged 18-40 years, gestational age of 28-34 weeks in 2021 in Iran. The women were randomly assigned to two groups by blocked randomization.
Background: One of the most common causes of respiratory distress in newborns is transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN). Salbutamol is often suggested to increase the rate of pulmonary fluid absorption in newborns with TTN. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of inhaled salbutamol in TTN management.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of minimally invasive surfactant therapy (MIST) and the INtubation, SURfactant administration, and Extubation (INSURE) technique in preterm infants with RDS.
Methods: In this clinical trial, 112 preterm infants born at 28-36 weeks of gestation and diagnosed with RDS randomly received 200-mg/kg surfactant by MIST or the INSURE method.
Objective: Intra-ventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is the leading cause of mortality and disability in premature neonates. The present study aimed to determine the frequency of IVH and its risk factors in the premature newborns admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)at Fatemieh Hospital in Hamadan, Iran, in 2016.
Methods & Materials: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on178 neonates with a gestational age of ≤ 32 weeks admitted to Fatemieh Hospital affiliated to the Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran, in 2016.
Background: Severe perinatal asphyxia results in multiple organ involvement, neonate hospitalization, and eventual death.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the predictive factors of death in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) receiving selective head cooling.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-retrospective study was conducted from 2013 to 2018 in Fatemieh Hospital of Hamadan and included 51 newborns who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit with a diagnosis of HIE.
Introduction: Breast-feeding and being with mother have positive effects on the preterm infant's health status. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) on physiological parameters of premature infants in Fatemiyeh Hospital in Hamadan in 2016.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study.
Background: The role of maternal allergic disorders to increase the risk of Transient Tachypnea of Neonate (TTN) in neonates remained unclear. We determined the incidence of allergic disorders in first degree relatives of neonates suffered from TTN to clear role of these allergic disorders to predispose TTN in neonates.
Materials And Methods: In a cross-sectional study carried out at Fatemieh hospital between September 2010 and September 2011, all consecutive neonates with the diagnosis of TTN were included into the study.
Objective: Seizures in neonates are very different from those of older children and adults. The aim of this study was to determine the etiology, clinical presentation, and outcome of seizures in hospitalized neonates of Besat Hospital, Hamadan, Iran.
Material & Methods: In this retrospective study, we evaluated all neonates with seizures (aged 0-28 days) admitted to the Besat hospital, Hamadan, over a period of three years from September 2008 to September 2011.
