Neonatal osteomyelitis
This dissertation is based largely on an original study performed by myself and Dr EB Hoffman on 34 neonates with bone and joint sepsis. Our experience of 19 septic hips is the largest in the literature. The study was performed at the Red Cross Children's Hospital in 1987 and 1988. The paper has …

Optimisation of neonatal ventilation
Background: Infants born prematurely or at term may unfortunately suffer morbidity from ventilator related complications. New ventilation techniques have been developed aimed at reducing that morbidity, but have yet to be fully evaluated. <br/>Aim: To optimise the delivery of new techniques using …

Neonatal enteral feeding tube as loci for Enterobacteriaceae colonisation and risk to neonatal health
The incidence of neonatal infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae has been increasing in recent years, and they are now recognised as the predominant causative agents in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) outbreaks. Klebsiella spp. and Serratia spp. are the most common causative pathogens, and E. …

Maternal Modulation of Neonatal Immunity
<p>Although the neonatal immune system is functionally immature, immune response capabilities are not the same in all newborns. The objective of this thesis was to determine development of immunocompetence and test the hypothesis that activation of maternal inflammatory immunity during pregnancy …

Neonatal Nightingales: Live Parental and Neonatal Nurse Infant-Directed Singing as a Beneficial Intervention for the Health and Development of Infants in Neonatal Care
It is the aim of this study to establish live neonatal nurse and parental infant-directed singing as a potentially efficacious intervention that is beneficial to the health and development of infants in neonatal care and which could conceivably be integrated into nursing practice and the neonatal …

Preventable and treatable causes of infant death : examining neonatal and post neonatal mortality in rural Bangladesh
Background: Neonatal mortality is a major burden in developing countries. Most neonatal deaths in Bangladesh can be prevented by simple interventions or by preventive measures before birth, better delivery practices or basic treatments after birth. Researchers over the years have focused on …

Maternal Immunomodulation of Neonatal Alloantigen Response
… immunologic privilege, immunomodulation of the neonatal immune response was attempted through manipulations of cell-mediated reactions in vitro that were thought to represent possible in vivo phenomena. Through mixed lymhocyte culture experiments, neonatal immune cells were exposed to …

Analyzing autonomic activity in neonatal seizures
… often than previously appreciated. The effect of neonatal seizures remain unclear, however. Do seizures in the newborn cause brain injury, are they a consequence of brain injury, or are they benign? Seizures in the newborn tend to occur without overt clinical correlates, such as convulsions, so …

Hepatic Lipid metabolism in Neonatal Pigs
… cells which has led to their incorporation into neonatal formulas as an alternative source of energy. While abundant literature is available on proposed beneficial effects of MCFA at low levels of incorporation, little is known about utilization of MCFAs in formulas and the effects on growth and …

Midline Catheter Usage in the Neonatal Population
<p>Neonatal sepsis is associated with increased mortality and morbidities including lengthy hospital stays. Neonate’s immature immune system and susceptibility to sepsis make them prone to antibiotic treatment. Lack of recommendations points to the need for evidence-based practices when selecting a …

Reducing IV Infiltrates in the Neonatal Population
… </strong>The project is focusing on the neonatal population at a children’s hospital in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This NICU is an 80 bed unit that houses both critical care patients and intermediate care neonates.</p> <p> Auditing was a major component to the project and …

Investigating Vibration Levels in Neonatal Patient Transport
Canada's first standardized Neonatal Patient Transport System (NPTS) has been introduced in Ontario. Vibrations experienced by neonatal patients during transport in the NPTS have been a concern, since previous studies have suggested that such vibrations could increase morbidity and mortality rates …

Hepatic acetogenesis and ketogenesis in neonatal swine
… suckling (patterns opposite that seen in ketotic neonatal rats, e.g.) may in part explain attenuated ketogenic capacity in piglets. Piglets accumulated fatty acid carboxyl-carbon in acetate to a high degree relative to ketone bodies in incubations of liver tissue with radiolabeled fatty acids, a …

Role of selenium in neonatal lung development
… role of dietary selenium (Se) in development of neonatal lungs under normoxia and hyperoxia. Lung development was assessed by measuring certain parameters of functional and structural development, including pulmonary phospholipids and histomorphometry. Lung lesions due to hyperoxia were assessed …

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Neurocognitive Outcomes for Infants Born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome
Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a group of physiological symptoms that arise due to opiate withdrawal at birth. NAS is an expanding problem with studies suggesting an increase in NAS incidence in the United States. Infants prenatally exposed to opioids have been associated with negative …

Reducing the Risk of Hypothermia in Neonatal Infants
… Chomba, Salas, Schelonka, and Carlo, 2013). The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of KPSF has historically had the organization’s highest rate of hypothermia in babies 22 to 29 weeks’ gestational age admitted to the NICU, based on temperatures taken at the first hour of life (Walsh, Mancera, …
