Reforming early intervention for premature infants: insights into integrated nursing and medical care in Western China.

Front Pediatr

December 2024

Department of Pediatrics, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Background: Premature births has imposed substantial burdens on medical resources. Consequently, a specialized team was established and a model focused on early intervention, namely the Delivery Room Intensive Care Unit (DICU) emphasizing "care, support, and treatment" was introduced and its impact on the morbidity and mortality outcomes of newborns was assessed. Additionally, we aimed to develop a nomogram model for predicting the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants.

: Research on the roles of stem cells in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) has primarily focused on the effects of bone marrow- and amniotic fluid-derived stem cells in mitigating the clinical manifestations of the disease. However, the potential of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) remains unexplored in this context. The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic potential of ADSC administration during the active inflammatory phase of NEC, with a specific focus on reducing the levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1 and IL-6.

Background: Vasoactive inotrope score, renal score, fibrosis-5 index, and lactate-albumin ratio have not been investigated before in determining multiple organ dysfunctions accompanying infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The aim of this study was to determine whether multiple organ dysfunctions that may accompany HIE in infants are correlated with vasoactive inotrope score (VIS), renal score (RS), fibrosis-5 index (FIB-5), and lactate-albumin ratio (LAR), and whether these parameters can predict morbidity and mortality.

Methods: This is a retrospective study, and 106 newborns diagnosed with HIE and treated with hypothermia were included in the study.

The impact of clinical seizures and adverse brain MRI patterns in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and abnormal neurodevelopment.

Clinics (Sao Paulo)

January 2025

Department of Pediatrics, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, South Korea. Electronic address:

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the associations among seizures, clinical characteristics, and brain injury on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in infants with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), and to determine whether these findings can predict unfavorable neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Method: Clinical and electrographic seizures were assessed by amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram, and the extent of brain injury was evaluated by using MRI. At 12‒24 months of age, developmental impairment or death was assessed.

An Activation Failure: Factors Associated With Undertriage of Pediatric Major Trauma Victims.

J Surg Res

January 2025

Division of Emergency Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois.

Introduction: Undertriage of children contributes to poorer clinical outcomes. The objective of this study was to determine factors associated with undertriage of pediatric major trauma victims.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study of children (aged < 16 ys) using the 2021 American College of Surgeons National Trauma Data Bank.
