Background: In clinical practice, it is crucial to identify diagnostic methods that can forecast the neurodevelopmental outcomes of very preterm neonates. Our study aimed to assess the predictive significance of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) for the neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants at 12 months corrected age and to establish the cut-off score that could indicate potential neurodevelopmental impairments.
Methods: Preterm neonates born before 32 weeks of gestational age between June 2020 and July 2022 were included in a prospective manner.
Optimal nutrient intake ensuring better neurodevelopment for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants remains unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between early (first 28 days) nutritional intake, first year growth, and neurodevelopment. In total, 120 VLBW infants were included into the study.

- A study evaluated long-term outcomes in 8-9-year-olds who experienced perinatal hypoxia or asphyxia at birth, without using therapeutic hypothermia, comparing them with healthy peers.
- The children who experienced asphyxia had significantly lower IQ scores across various measures, including full-scale and verbal intelligence, compared to the control group.
- Despite the cognitive challenges, there were no notable differences in neurological disorders, movement abilities, or quality of life between the two groups at an early school age.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the impact of two parenteral nutrition delivery methods (PICC and PVC) on the growth and neurodevelopment of very low birth weight (VLBW) newborns, aiming to address issues related to complications from catheter use.
- - A clinical trial with 108 VLBW newborns randomly assigned to PICC and PVC groups assessed both short-term (up to 36 weeks) and long-term (up to 12 months) outcomes, focusing on anthropometric measurements and neurodevelopment according to the Bayley II scale.
- - Results showed no significant differences in growth measurements or neurodevelopmental outcomes between the two groups at the designated time points, indicating that both feeding methods had similar effects on VLB
Background And Objective: Psychological responses to the initial injury and rehabilitation might be an important additional determinant of functional level outcomes after knee surgery. The objectives of this study were (1) to measure pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia levels and (2) determine their association with self-reported subjective knee function during rehabilitation, following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and meniscectomy.
Materials And Methods: The study involved 41 participants.
Objective: To describe the epidemiology of paediatric burns in Lithuania, identify the trends of burn occurrence, the vulnerable population and aetiology.
Methods: This study was based on all inclusive national information obtained from the National Health Insurance database for the period of 2001-2010. Information on the burns aetiology was collected in the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Heath Sciences Kauno Klinikos.
Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of visual feedback information (VFI) on the isometric contraction of the forearm flexor muscles in men and women after an ischemic stroke when doing a physical load at 20% of strength.
Material And Methods: The study included healthy subjects (n=20) and subjects after ischemic stroke (n=20). The study was conducted in Lithuanian Sports University.
Background And Objective: Many studies have suggested that each hand has a different special talent; however, there is a lack of data in the area of goal-directed bimanual hand coordination and its dependence on gender. The aim of this paper was to investigate gender-dependent bimanual speed-accuracy task performance.
Material And Methods: Twelve healthy young males and twelve healthy young females (all right-handed) performed protractile movements with both arms simultaneously by pushing joysticks toward two targets as quickly and accurately as possible.
Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to assess psychomotor development of very-low-birth-weight infants.
Material And Methods: A prospective study was carried out in the Clinic of Neonatology, Kaunas University of Medicine Hospital. Two groups of infants were selected: the study group consisted of 79 preterm infants treated in the Clinic of Neonatology; the control group consisted of 31 term infants.

Objective: The delay or disorders of infant motor development require early screening and treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate the possibilities to assess infant motor development disorders in primary health care institutions of central part of Lithuania.
Materials And Methods: The original questionnaires were sent to primary health care institutions of Kaunas district.
