Recombinant IGF-1/BP3 protects against intestinal injury in a neonatal mouse NEC model
CONCLUSIONS: Exogenous rhIGF-1/BP3 protects neonatal mice against experimental NEC via multiple mechanisms.IMPACT: Exogenous rhIGF-1/BP3 preserves intestinal microvascular development and integrity, promotes enterocyte proliferation and migration, decreases local and systemic inflammation, and protects neonatal mice against NEC. The article adds pre-clinical evidence of a protective role for rhIGF-1/BP3 on the premature gut. It provides evidence supporting the use of rhIGF1/BP3 in premature neonates to protect against NEC.PMID:38418592 | DOI:10.1038/s41390-024-03069-8 (Source: Pediatric Research)

A retrospective cohort study on mortality, morbidity, and care practices for 1750 very low birth weight infants, 2016-2021
CONCLUSION: Among VLBW infants born in 2016-2021, the total and in-hospital mortality rates were lower than those of neonates born in 2009-2015. Incidences of NRDS and BPD increased in 2016-2021, which affected the survival rates and long-term prognosis of VLBW.PMID:38404117 | DOI:10.1097/CM9.0000000000002923 (Source: Chinese Medical Journal)

Impact of Congenital Heart Disease on the Outcomes of Very Low Birth Weight Infants
Conclusion VLBW-CHDs showed higher odds of BPD, sepsis, and mortality than VLBW infants without CHD. Future research should focus on the increased mortality and specific complications encountered by VLBW infants with CHD and implement targeted strategies to address these risks.

Non-invasive ventilation in neonatal care: where are we now?
Survival of extremely preterm infants has improved from enhanced antenatal care and high uptake of antenatal steroids along with early use of surfactant. However, the burden of ventilator-induced lung  injury (VILI) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has proportionately increased. Despite a greater understanding of pulmonary graphics and advances in neonatal ventilation techniques such as volume-targeted ventilation, lung morbidities remain high. Since the advent of CPAP in the early 70's, the re have been several attempts to expand the non-invasive ventilation (NIV) techniques to improve survival and reduce morbidity. ...

Identifying effect modifiers of systemic hydrocortisone treatment initiated 7-14 days after birth in ventilated very preterm infants on long-term outcome: secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial
Conclusion This secondary analysis suggests that in infants <27 weeks’ GA, systemic hydrocortisone may improve the outcome death or NDI, mainly driven by its component death. There was insufficient evidence for other selected candidate effect modifiers. (Source: Archives of Disease in Childhood - Fetal and Neonatal Edition)

Inhaled nitric oxide therapy for preterm infants after 7 days of age: a scoping review protocol
Introduction Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) use is recommended for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn in term and late preterm infants. Recently, iNO therapy to prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or rescue for hypoxic respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension secondary to BPD has increasingly been used in preterm infants after 7 days of postnatal age (in the postacute phase), despite its off-label use. However, the initiation criteria of iNO therapy for preterm infants in the postacute phase are varied. The aim of this scoping review is to identify the clinical and/or echo findings at the initiation of...
