BACKGROUND Although vancomycin is frequently used to treat neonatal late-onset sepsis, there is no consensus on the optimal dosing regimen. Because many neonates needed dosing adaptation due to suboptimal trough values, the vancomycin dosing regimen in our neonatal department was changed during 2012. OBJECTIVE We aimed to document the need for validation of neonatal vancomycin dosing by explo...

Aims: Neonatal mortality ranks fifth among the top ten causes of death in world, including neonatal conditions. Early detection measures, such as assessing well-being fetus during womb through monitoring Fetal Movements (FM), can help to reduce incidence IUFD. Monitoring FM aims determine well-being. Celengan Rindu application was created with goal making it easier for mothers monitor daily. Th...

Amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) is an easily accessible technique to monitor the electrocortical activity in preterm and term infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). This method was first used to monitor newborns after asphyxia, providing information about future neurological outcomes. The aEEG is also helpful to select newborns who benefit from cooling. The aEEG monitoring of preterm...

Serial EEG recordings from immature rat pups are extremely difficult to obtain but important for analyzing animal models of neonatal seizures and other pediatric neurological conditions as well as normal physiology. In this report, we describe the features and applications of a novel miniature telemetry system designed to record EEG in rat pups as young as postnatal day 6 (P6). First, we have r...

BACKGROUND Self-monitoring using the Internet offers new opportunities to engage perinatal diabetic women in self-management to reduce maternal and neonatal complications. OBJECTIVE This review aims to synthesize the best available evidence to evaluate the efficacy of Internet-based self-monitoring interventions in improving maternal and neonatal outcomes among perinatal diabetic women. MET...

Background: Brain monitoring of high-risk neonates with integrated video amplitude electroencephalography associated raw (video aEEG/EEG) is promoted by the Protecting Brains and Saving Futures (PBSF) Protocol which works within an advanced model telemedicine for specialized neonatal neurological care in ICUs.

NeoCherish Noninvasive monitoring and treatment for neonatal icterus. Neonatal icterus, a problem in 60% of full term babies and 85% of pre-term babies. NeoCherish provides an effective solution for neonatal icterus. It is an intelligent system which is fully automatic noninvasive measurement of bilirubin in blood serum and treats with the higher wavelength LED (Light Emitting Diode) for cure. ...

Seven children with short bowel syndrome underwent small bowel allografting. Episodes of early rejection were observed in five patients who received a graft from paediatric or adult donors but not in two patients who received a neonatal graft. This study aimed, firstly, to define immunohistochemical parameters accompanying rejection and, secondly, to compare immunohistochemical parameters in ne...

In this paper, we investigate an advanced monitoring system for a neonatal intensive care unit. The system intelligently detects abnormal neonatal cerebral Doppler ultrasound signals by means of principal component analysis and a non-normalised compensatory neuro-fuzzy rule based algorithm. Two hundred and ninety Doppler ultrasound signals were recorded from the anterior cerebral arteries of 40...
