Use of budesonide associated with a pulmonary surfactant to prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature newborns - A systematic review.
J Pediatr (Rio J)
March 2023
Objective: Among the mechanisms proposed for the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia is the increase in the pulmonary inflammatory process and oxidative stress. Thus, the control of this process may result in improvements in bronchopulmonary dysplasia-related outcomes. This study aims to analyze the current scientific evidence regarding the use of budesonide, a potent anti-inflammatory drug, associated with a pulmonary surfactant to prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

OBJECTIVE To describe the concentration of total and specific IgG antibodies anti-Streptococcus B, anti-lipopolysaccharide of Klebsiella spp, and anti-lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas spp in the umbilical cord of newborn(NB) twins and to analyze the association between neonatal infection and antibody concentration in the umbilical cord blood. METHODS A prospective cross-sectional study of a cohort of NB twins admitted during the period of 20 months. Patients with malformations and mothers with infection were excluded.

- Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a respiratory disease caused by dysfunctional cilia, leading to mucus buildup and frequent lung infections, making diagnosis challenging in newborns.
- A case was reported where a baby with PCD experienced respiratory failure and recurrent lung issues, along with situs inversus totalis (a condition where internal organs are mirrored).
- Early detection of PCD is crucial for neonatologists, as it can significantly reduce complications and enhance the quality of life for affected infants.
