Diuretic Tolerance to Repeated-dose Furosemide in Infants Born Very Preterm with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
To assess the presence and timing of furosemide diuretic tolerance in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and to determine if tolerance is modified by thiazide co-administration. (Source: The Journal of Pediatrics)

Death of children with Down syndrome by gestational age and cause
CONCLUSIONS: These data on the high mortality and morbidity of preterm infants with DS may be useful for patient treatment and parent counseling in NICUs treating critically ill infants.IMPACT: Most infants with Down syndrome born at <34 weeks' gestation are born by cesarean section because of the non-reassuring fetal status. The mortality rate before discharge for infants with Down syndrome born at <34 weeks' gestation was 40%, and 30% of survivors developed moderate or severe cerebral palsy. The risk of death due to bronchopulmonary dysplasia and pulmonary hypertension was high in very preterm infants with Down syn...

Association of infant tidal breathing with later lung function in preterm individuals
Conclusion: In our preterm cohort, an increase in infant minute ventilation was associated with increased hyperinflation (RV/TLC) and ventilation inhomogeneity (LCI) in adolescence, suggesting that early changes in breathing pattern might indicate later changes, but not for airway obstruction.
