Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of High Risk Infants
… efforts may focus on determining which of these risk factors are most amenable to preventative and interventional strategies, and identifying the stage of development where these strategies would be most effective.

Neural correlates of nonverbal social communication in high-risk infants
… responses to gaze in 5-month-olds, to older and high-risk infants. Participants were 9-month-old infants (5 preterm, [3 female]; 12 full term [7 female]) who underwent fNIRS while viewing gaze paradigms. Findings revealed that hemisphere predicted peak oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO<sub>2</sub>) …

Associations between mood states in high-risk infants and later neurodevelopmental outcomes
… and too variable to rate) in a sample of 208 high-risk infants. It was based on the premise that predominantly negative or variable moods (i.e., "fussy/skittish" or "too variable to rate") among high-risk infants might be considered neurobehavioural markers for later neurodevelopmental …

The role of infant sleep in the relationship between cumulative risk and infant social-emotional development
… aimed to understand the effect of cumulative risk on the social-emotional functioning of infants. Additionally, this study examined sleep as a potential protective factor, which may promote healthier social-emotional outcomes despite risk. A sample of 325 caregiver-infant dyads completed …

Neurodevelopmental outcome of the high risk infant in Cape Town
The outcome of high risk infants provides an important audit of neonatal care. This audit renders valuable information to clinicians, parents and health care planners. Available outcome data from the developing world are sparse and urgently needed. This work was compiled with three aims in mind: to …

A longitudinal analysis of neonatal and infant diagnostic HIV-PCR uptake and associations during three sequential policy periods in Mitchell’s Plain, Cape Town
… according to UNAIDS, only 51% of HIV-exposed infants received a virological test in the first two months of life in 2015. In addition, there is concern about the sensitivity of the nucleic acid assays at six weeks in the context of exposure to prolonged multidrug antiretroviral therapy as …

Factors Associated with High Risk Infant Follow-Up Attendance
… a significant public health problem and preterm infants face well described risks of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological theory of development describes interactions between biological and environmental factors and explains how these interactions can impact …

Cerebral Hemodynamics in High-Risk Neonates Probed by Diffuse Optical Spectroscopies
… improvement of neurocognitive outcome in these high-risk infants. Assessment of cerebral oxygenation, cerebral blood volume, and the regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) during the neonatal period is vital for evaluating brain health. Traditional CBF imaging methods fail, however, for both …

The development of posture in very low birthweight infants (<1500 grams)
… in very low birthweight and normal birthweight infants and to determine whether deviant postures were predictive of adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. In the first part of the study the 7 postural responses selected by Vojta to evaluate neuromotor development were applied to 69 very low …
