Severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, Growth, Nutrition, and Adipokines at School Age

This study evaluated nutrition and growth in relation to plasma adipokine levels in 21 very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) children with radiographic bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), 19 VLBW controls, and 19 term controls with a median age of 11.3 years. We took anthropometric measurements; assessed plasma levels of adipsin, resistin, adiponectin, and leptin; and analyzed the children's 3-day food re...

Diabetes family school: benefits and difficulties

Hospital management of severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Despite early surfactant therapy, betterventilator strategies and greater use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)continues to be a complication of premature births. The mainstay of supportive care for infants with severe BPD is mechanical ventilation with an endotracheal tube, however treatmentcan last for a long time and have many complications. When ...

Could mean platelet volume predict developing of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome?

Introduction: some studies have suggested correlation between MPV index and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis in adults. Though bronchopulmonary dysplasia is also an inflammatory disease which develops in preterm neonates with Respiratory distress syndrome, we decided to study the possible correlation between the mean platelet volume (MPV) and the occurrence of bronchopulmonary...

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia: a new look at management.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is an unacceptable but, at present, seemingly unavoidable complication of neonatal intensive care. There are many theories as to why this disorder arises, including lung immaturity, barotrauma from positive airway pressure ventilation, oxygen toxicity, respiratory infections after intubation, and increased lung fluid. Definitions vary, but based on the physiological d...
