Training Parenting Self-efficacy in Parents of Hospitalized Preterm Neonates

ParentingPreterm Infants1 more

In a hospital environment, initial parenting of a family with a preterm neonate will be very different than expected. This unusual and stressful situation may determine the self-confidence perceived by mothers and fathers in caring their baby and therefore could shape future interaction with him/her as well as neurodevelopmental and behavioral development of preterm infants. 24/7 neonatal units allow parents stay with their baby whenever they want but this free access nor guarantee neither encourage parenting self-efficacy if it isn't hand in hand with a specific training program for parents.

Does Routine Assessment of Gastric Residuals in Preterm Neonates Influence Time Taken to Reach Full...

Gastric Residuals AssessmentPrematurity2 more

The study aims to compare routine assessment of gastric residuals versus no assessment of residuals in preterm neonates with respect to time taken for achieving full enteral feeding and the incidence of possible complications, such as feeding intolerance, necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis etc.

Executive Training and Brain in Children

Healthy ChildrenPreterm Birth

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a daily executive training to cognitive inhibition, working memory or mindfulness as compared to an active control condition has a near- and far-transfer impact on brain and behavioral measures as collected in children aged 9-10 years, either born preterm or full-term.

Preterm Delivery Risk Prediction by Measurement of Prenatal Serum Screening Markers

Preterm Delivery

This protocol seeks to longitudinally collect blood samples from a cohort of pregnant women. The biological specimens will be used to determine the predictive power of biochemical markers routinely used in Down syndrome screening in the assessment of patient's risk of preterm delivery.

Pro-omega-3, Reduction of Inflammation and Modulation of Prematurity

PPROM

The aim of the project is to decrease the inflammatory status of pregnant women with preterm premature rupture of membranes to delay the initiation of labour that would inevitably lead to premature delivery. The main objective is to measure the mean duration between the initiation of the treatment and delivery in the two groups treated either with MAG-DHA or with the placebo.

Hospital Admission Versus Home Management in Women With Premature Rupture of Membranes :RCT

Management of Women With PROM at Term

According to high tendency for admission of cases of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) for fear of maternal & fetal complications, we compare here between cases managed at hospital with other managed at home for if there any difference between in maternal and neonatal outcome.

Early Exclusive Enteral Nutrition in Early Preterm Infants

Enteral Nutrition

Enteral nutrition in preterm infants is usually started and advanced slowly until reaching full enteral feeds. Most preterm infants born before 34 weeks gestation require parenteral fluids to maintain normal blood sugar level and prevent excessive weight loss and dehydration. Availability of donor human milk (DHM) along with low incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm infants born at 30-33 weeks have encouraged neonatologists to start feeding early and advance it faster in order to shorten time on parenteral nutrition (PN) and minimize the need for intravenous access. The objectives of this trial is to study whether exclusive enteral nutrition from day of birth (i.e. no PN) results in shorter time to achieve full enteral feed when compared with traditional feeding regimen that involves a combination of PN and progressive enteral feeding.

Levels of Selected Microelements in Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

Premature Ovarian Failure

Aim: To evaluate plasma/urine/hair Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Gadolinium (Gd), Arsenic (As), Mercury (Hg), Cobalt (Co), Vanadium (V), Titanium (Ti), Sulfur (S), Chromium (Cr), Silver (Ag), Molybdenum (Mo), Boron (B), Lithium (Li), and Nickel (Ni) levels in women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and to compare the results with those of healthy subjects. Methods: This prospective study will be included 50 women with idiopathic premature ovarian insufficiency and 50 controls. The blood/urine/hair for analyses will be obtained at the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and plasma Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Gadolinium (Gd), Arsenic (As), Mercury (Hg), Cobalt (Co), Vanadium (V), Titanium (Ti), Sulfur (S), Chromium (Cr), Silver (Ag), Molybdenum (Mo), Boron (B), Lithium (Li), and Nickel (Ni) levels will be measured using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.

Multiperfusion Neonatal System

Preterm Birth

Infusion and parenteral nutrition play an important role in the management of neonatal intensive care patients. Administration of drugs and parenteral nutrition solutions to the patient is performed via different systems including a catheter and a perfusion system. In critically ill, high risk neonates, use of these systems is associated with complications such as infections, interactions between drugs simultaneously infused on the same route (precipitates, catheter obstruction), less effective treatment due to modified amount of drug administered compared to expected or to compatibility issues between drugs. Sepsis and reduction of treatment efficacy can have an impact on survival or subsequent neurodevelopment. Late onset sepsis is one of the most frequent complications in very premature infants born before 33 weeks gestational age and most of those infections occur in infants requiring a perfusion system and an intravenous catheter. In this context, a new multiperfusion device was developed (Multiline Néo®, Doran, France) to remove access to the infusion system from the incubator where high temperature and humidity favour bacterial growth. But also to allow the administration of several drug solutions simultaneously avoiding contact between drugs. Our hypothesis is that the new perfusion system helps to reduce the risk of infections, without increase in costs.
