Published: March 1995

Peripartal asphyxia is still one of the most important factors of neonatal morbidity and mortality and accounts for the majority of non-progressive neurological deficits seen in children. A set of evaluations that may consistently predict outcome in this patient population would be valuable. The purpose of the present retrospective study was to investigate the prognostic value of the early neonatal EEG and Sarnat scoring obtained in 23 asphyxiated term newborns. All infants met strict entrance criteria, regarding asphyxia, and received standard treatment. The relationship between the Sarnat scoring, the early EEG findings, and the clinical follow up examination (at 1,5-7 years) were studied using the Pearson Correlation test and multiple regression. Our study clearly demonstrates a strong correlation between the early neonatal EEG and outcome, even regarding the prediction of minor sequelae (r = 0.79, p < 0.0001). The early neonatal EEG is more accurate in predicting the ultimate clinical outcome than the Sarnat scoring.

Impact of endometrial thickness and its combined effect with maternal age on singleton adverse neonatal outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

Background: Thin endometrial thickness (EMT) and advanced age are both common risk factors for adverse neonatal outcomes (ANOs). However, studies evaluating the impact of EMT and combined effect of EMT and age on ANOs remain scarce with conflicts.

Method: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 7,715 singleton deliveries from frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles between 2017 and 2021.

Interactions of human milk oligosaccharides with the immune system.

Front Immunol

School of Biochemistry and Immunology, Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are abundant, diverse and complex sugars present in human breast milk. HMOs are well-characterized barriers to microbial infection and by modulating the human microbiome they are also thought to be nutritionally beneficial to the infant. The structural variety of over 200 HMOs, including neutral, fucosylated and sialylated forms, allows them to interact with the immune system in various ways.
