Neonatal complications of premature rupture of membranes in mothers receiving cefotaxime and ampicillin: A randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is one of the most common and important causes of premature births and peripartum mortality. Maternal antibiotic treatment affects the infantile prognosis. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of Ampicillin and Cefotaxime administered for the parturients on neonatal outcomes.

The prooxidant-antioxidant balance in diagnosis and developmental prognosis of premature neonates with asphyxia.

Background: The antioxidant system in a preterm neonate is premature. The imbalance between the prooxidant and antioxidant systems can make these neonates prone to oxidative stress. Birth asphyxia is one of the factors that can disturb this balance.

Evaluation of vitamin D in the diagnosis of infants with respiratory distress, the clinical value: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Respiratory distress (RD) is the most common cause of admission to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The role of Vitamin D in the development and fortification of fetal pulmonary architecture and the synthesis of surfactants is well-documented. While different serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (Vit.

Comparison of maternal 25 (OH) vitamin D levels between premature infants with/without asphyxia.

Objectives: Perinatal asphyxia is the main risk factor for mortality and morbidity in neonates and neurological disorders in survived infants. We compared the neonatal and maternal 25 (OH) vitamin D levels in neonates with/without asphyxia.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional research was done on 229 neonates (including 158 neonates [69%] without asphyxia [control group] and 71 neonates [31%] with asphyxia [case group]) from 2020 to 2023 using the available sampling method.

Comparison of prognosis between hyperbilirubinemic infants with and without hypernatremia.

Objectives: Hypernatremia may facilitate the diffusion of bilirubin through the blood-brain barrier and increase the risk of bilirubin encephalopathy. This study was conducted to compare the prognosis of jaundice infants with those with jaundice and hypernatremia.

Methods: A total of 615 term infants with idiopathic jaundice with or without hypernatremia were enrolled in this cohort study with 24-months follow-up at Ghaem Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, between 2010 and 2022.
