The effects of nonnutritive sucking on state regulation in preterm infants
… (NNS) has long been used to soothe crying infants. Systematic observations of this effect in newborn infants have revealed that NNS reduces arousal in general. Among preterm infants NNS has been used as an effective intervention in the newborn intensive care unit. However, there has been …

Breastfeeding of preterm infants. Associated factors in infants, mothers, and clinical practice.
… has even more pronounced health benefits for preterm infants than for full-term infants, but preterm infants are less breastfed. There is no consensus in Danish neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) about which clinical methods facilitate breastfeeding. Skin-to-skin contact between infant and …

A longitudinal study of the cognitive and social development of preterm infants
… advances are enabling increasingly premature infants to survive and it is this particularly vulnerable population that are exposed, often for prolonged periods of time, to the hazards of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit environment which can have adverse developmental consequences. Premature …

Monitoring of cerebral oxygenation, cerebrovascular reactivity and circulatory function in preterm infants
… reactivity and circulatory function in preterm infants Brain injury in the preterm infant is associated with death and lifelong disability. Cerebral hypoxia and fluctuations in cerebral blood flow in the first two days of life have been implicated in the pathophysiology of haemorrhagic …

The Impact of Guided Imagery on Sleep Quality in Mothers of Preterm Infants
Background: Mothers who have given birth to preterm infants are at an increased risk for impaired sleep. Evidence based interventions are needed to assist mothers in improving their sleep quality as few are available. Purpose: Guided by the transactional framework of Lazarus and Folkman (1984), the …

Predicting Neurodevelopment in Very Preterm Infants Using Thalamic MRI Features and Machine Learning
Preterm birth is the primary cause of infant death and is associated with later neurodevelopmental impairments. Neuroimaging is a powerful tool to analyse neuroanatomy abnormalities in preterm infants, allowing the examination of different brain structures, such as the thalamus and its alterations. …

Outcomes of preterm infants discharged early from a South African Kangaroo Mother Care Unit
Background: Over 15 million preterm babies are born annually and are the leading contributor to neonatal deaths. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), incorporating skin-to-skin care, breastfeeding, early discharge and close follow up, decreases morbidity and mortality in preterm and low-birth-weight …

Improving the care of preterm infants: before, during, and after, stabilisation in the delivery room
Introduction Up to 10% of infants require stabilisation during transition to extrauterine life. Enhanced monitoring of cardiorespiratory parameters during this time may improve stabilisation outcomes. In addition, technology may facilitate improved preparation for delivery room stabilisation as …

The effect of a visual stimulus on behavioral state and visual responsiveness in preterm infants
Behavioral organization in infants can be characterized by the integration and coordination of component behaviors over time, mediated in part by emerging nervous system activity. This study evaluated the organization of behavioral states and the percentages of time spent in particular behavioral …

Impact of a novel relaxation method of touch on neonatal neurobehavioral development among very preterm infants
Infants born very preterm (< 30 weeks estimated gestational age [EGA]) annually and are at greatest risk to develop significant neurodevelopmental abnormalities. These neurodevelopmental abnormalities are the result of complex conditions involving the interaction between multiple biological, …
