Electroencephalography of premature infants
Background and Objectives: The early prediction of neurodevelopmental outcome in very preterm infants remains challenging. An objective tool with the potential to provide useful information about preterm brain health is the electroencephalogram (EEG) but current knowledge remains incomplete in …

Premature vascular senescence during diabetic retinopathy
… to high glucose (25mM D-glucose) induces premature senescence in HRMECs. The accelerated senescence programme was characterised by enlarged cellular and nuclear size, upregulation of p53 and CCL2 (MCP1), increased mitochondrial mass but, with alterations in mitochondrial cristae …

Premature infant responses to taped maternal voice
Premature infants are at risk for many potential problems including deficits in social interaction and sensory perception skills. One of the major reasons for this is the relative social isolation of these infants housed in incubators and separated from parents. There is a need to identify social …

Investigations of Pharmacokinetic Challenges in Premature Infants
<p>Premature infants (gestational age less than 37 weeks) are considered a vulnerable patient population due to their immaturity at birth. Currently, off-label prescribing is common in younger pediatric populations, especially in premature neonates and infants, which is a primary group receiving …
