Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of isotonic and hypotonic intravenous fluids in maintenance fluid therapy for term infants.
Methods: This was a multi-centre, prospective, observational study conducted in 21 participating centres from December 30, 2020, to June 30, 2023. The study included term newborns requiring parenteral fluid therapy for maintenance (NCT04781361).
Background: Swaddling is recommended for preterm infants during feeding. Swaddling preterm infants with elastic cotton materials allows infants to easily stretch and move their extremities. This study aimed to assess the effect of bottlefeeding in a novel "elastic sac" on physiological parameters and feeding performance of preterm infants.

Design: This was a randomized controlled trial conducted in a NICU. A total of 64 newborns were divided into 2 groups: 32 newborns in the experimental group and 32 newborns in the control group.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the incidence of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in infants ≥36 weeks gestational age in Turkey, finding an incidence rate of 2.13 per 1000 live births, with varying severity levels among those affected.
- - Among infants with HIE, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) was notably administered to 34.5% of those with mild HIE, while factors like gestational age affected mortality rates, especially in those born at 34-35 weeks.
- - Despite an unchanged incidence of HIE, the study revealed a decreased mortality rate and no significant impact of TH timing on MRI findings or mortality.
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.
