Article Synopsis
- Late-onset neonatal sepsis is a serious concern for premature infants, with current testing methods lacking the sensitivity and specificity needed for prompt diagnosis.
- The study involved a comparison of 65 premature infants with diagnosed sepsis to 65 without, identifying key clinical signs (like feeding difficulties and fever) and laboratory markers (like thrombocytopenia and C-reactive protein) indicative of sepsis.
- A scoring system, presented as a nomogram, was created from these findings, aimed at aiding clinicians in quickly assessing the risk of sepsis, potentially improving treatment outcomes and reducing unnecessary interventions for healthy premature newborns.
Background/aim: A significant cause of mortality and morbidity in the neonatal era is hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). This study examined the histopathological analysis and neuroprotective impact of syringin (SYR) in an experimental HIE rat model.
Material And Methods: On the 7th postnatal day, 24 Wistar albino rats were evaluated in 3 groups using the HIE model under gas anesthesia.
Background: The effect of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus in the neonatal period on developing brain is still unknown. This study aims to investigate the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of newborns exposed to SARS-CoV-2 & Delta variant.
Methods: At a tertiary referral center, a prospective observational cohort research was carried out.
Objective: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common viral respiratory infection in infants. This study aimed to establish the potential changes in the clinical course of RSV in the neonatal period with the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) pandemic.
Study Design: During the observational study period, newborns diagnosed with community-acquired RSV infection and admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were evaluated.
Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) is one of the leading causes of neonatal and infant mortality. We aimed to elucidate the epidemiology, spectrum, and outcome of neonatal CCHD in Türkiye. This was a multicenter epidemiological study of neonates with CCHD conducted from October 2021 to November 2022 at national tertiary health centers.
