Body composition of preterm infants during infancy.
AIMS To examine body composition in preterm infants. METHODS Body composition was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at hospital discharge, term, 12 weeks, and at 6 and 12 months corrected age in 125 infants (birthweight < or = 1750 g, gestational age < or = 34 weeks). RESULTS Body weight derived by DEXA accurately predicted that determined by conventional scales. In both s...

متن کاملPostnatal Changes in Tibial Bone Speed of Sound of Preterm and Term Infants during Infancy
This study aimed to evaluate changes in tibial bone speed of sound (SOS) over time, in preterm and term infants during infancy, in addition to identifying factors influencing the development of tibial SOS during infancy. Preterm (n = 155) and term (n = 65) infants were enrolled in this study. Tibial bone SOS was measured using quantitative ultrasonography (QUS) on the left tibia of newborn infa...
متن کاملPostnatal glucose homeostasis in late-preterm and term infants.
This report provides a practical guide and algorithm for the screening and subsequent management of neonatal hypoglycemia. Current evidence does not support a specific concentration of glucose that can discriminate normal from abnormal or can potentially result in acute or chronic irreversible neurologic damage. Early identification of the at-risk infant and institution of prophylactic measures...
متن کاملPostnatal circulatory adaptation in healthy term and preterm neonates.
Thirty seven healthy infants (18 born at full term and 19 preterm) were studied serially with cross sectional and Doppler echocardiography to compare their postnatal circulatory adaptation. Pulmonary artery pressure was assessed by its inverse relationship with the ratio of pulmonary artery time to peak velocity and right ventricular ejection time measured from Doppler waveform. Patency of the ...
