Bronchopulmonary moniliasis in the newborn.

Relationship between Ureaplasma urealyticum Colonization and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Very Low Birth Weight Premature Infants: A Prospective Cohort Study

Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the second prevalent lung disease and one of the care challenges of premature newborns. Different risk factors play an important role in the development of this disease. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between colonization with Ureaplasma urealyticum and BPD.Methods: This prospective cohort study w...

Oesophageal moniliasis causing fistula formation and lung abscess.

Oesophageal moniliasis is reviewed and the incidence of fistula formation discussed. A case of oesophageal moniliasis without any predisposing factors, with fistula formation and lung abscess, is presented.

Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure in neonates: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) and Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in neonates. METHODS Standard search strategy for the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group was performed. The participants were both preterm and term infants suffering from neonatal respiratory distress syndrome or experiencing apnea of prema...
