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).
Objective: Vocalizations from infants, particularly sounds associated with respiratory distress, are fundamental for observational scoring of respiratory tract issues. Listening to these infant sounds is a prevalent technique for decision-making in newborn intensive care units. Expiratory grunting, indicative of the severity and presence of potential conditions, is valuable, however, this evaluative method is subjective and prone to error.

Background: Delayed cord clamping is the standard of care for both term and preterm infants worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 60-second or 180-second delayed cord clamping during labor on cerebral oxygenation and cardiac function.
Methods: Healthy newborns were divided into two groups: a 60-second delay in cord clamping (60-s DCC) and a 180-second delay in cord clamping (180-s DCC) at birth.
Background: Many medical experts prescribe indomethacin because of its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, tocolytic, and duct closure effects. This article presents an evaluation of the enduring impact of indomethacin on neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic (HI) insults, employing behavioral tests as a method of assessment.
Methods: The experiment was conducted on male Wistar-Albino rats weighing 10 to 15 g, aged between seven and 10 days.
