Modelling Weight Reference Centiles for Preterm Infants

Pre-Term

The aim of this study is to model longitudinal data at NICU of Assuit University Children Hospital to create predictive growth charts for weight in preterm infants from birth till discharge, that take into account the differing growth rates post-birth when compared to in-utero growth ,and to compare it with WHO chart for preterms.

Follow-up of Girls With Premature Thelarche and Precocious Puberty

Precocious PubertyExcess; Development1 more

Precocious puberty - the onset of signs of puberty before 8 years of age in girls - is be physically and emotionally devastating for kids and is sometimes caused by an underlying and medical condition. One sign of precocious puberty in small girls is breast development (thelarche). This can persist without other physical changes of puberty, it may continue into precocious puberty, or it may disappear. This project will improve the diagnostics of precocious puberty in girls and improve our ability to identify which girls with thelarche, who will develop precocious puberty and need medical treatment.

Body Composition at Discharge and Neurological Development at 2 Years in Very Preterm Infants (OPTIPREMA)...

Premature Birth of Newborn

This study evaluates the perinatal factors influencing body composition at discharge in very preterm infants and the relationship between fat free mass and further neurocognitive development.

Maternal Serum Amyloid A Levels in Pregnancies Complicated With Preterm Labour.

Preterm Labor

The aim of the current study is to assess the accuracy of maternal serum amyloid A for prediction of preterm labor in women with threatened preterm labor.

A Trial Comparing Two Breast Pumps in Mothers Expressing Milk for Their Preterm Infants

Milk Production

This is a randomised controlled trial investigating the performance of two, 'state of the art' electric breast pumps in mothers who have delivered preterm infants. The main data collection period will be up to day 10 post delivery data. Data collected will include a record of the weight of milk produced during the first 10 days and a short questionnaire to find the mothers' opinions of the pumps used. On Day 5 a timed and weighed expression of 15 minutes will be carried out. After the first 10 days, mothers will be asked to collect brief information on their continuing use of their pumps and subsequent duration of breast and bottle feeding, mothers will be contacted at 3 and 6 months post-term

Dynamic Cervical Change: Prediction of Preterm Labor in Symptomatic Patients

Dynamic Cervical Change in Preterm Labor Patients

Transvaginal ultrasound of the cervix has become a common tool to evaluate patients who are at risk for preterm delivery. A shortened cervical length has been associated with an increased risk of preterm delivery. Dynamic cervical change is visible shortening(>6mm) of the cervix seen during the ultrasound examination. Prior studies have shown that the presence of dynamic change in patients with a shortened cervical length(<3cm) is not independently predictive of preterm delivery. However, a subset of patients with normal initial cervical length(>3cm) and dynamic change did demonstrate an increased rate of preterm delivery. Because this was a small sub-group, the present study was designed to obtain a larger sample size for further evaluation. The second focus of this study involves patients with a dilated cervix and whether cervical length adds predictive value to gestational age at delivery. Patients presenting to with symptomatic preterm labor(vaginal pressure or uterine contractions), who consent to the study, will undergo the standard evaluation for preterm labor(described in detail below.) The only additional evaluation is a prolonged transvaginal ultrasound of approximately 10 minutes to evaluate for the presence of dynamic change during a contraction. Null hypothesis: Symptomatic preterm labor patients, with normal initial cervical length(>3cm), who exhibit dynamic cervical change deliver at a gestational age equal to those without dynamic change. Alternative hypothesis: Symptomatic preterm labor patients, with normal initial cervical length(>3cm), who exhibit dynamic cervical change deliver at an earlier gestational age than those without dynamic change.

Continuity of Leg Movements in VLBW Premature Infants: From Spontaneous Kicking and Supported Stepping...

Premature Birth

The purposes of this one-year follow-up study are twofold: (1) to prospectively examine the spontaneous kicking and the supported stepping movement in VLBW premature infants until attainment of independent walking; and (2) to assess factors (i.e. gross motor development, cardiopulmonary function, anthropometry, body composition and cognition) that could potentially influence walking attainment in VLBW premature infants.

Comparison of Brain Volumes Measured by 2D USG and MRI

Central Nervous System Vulnerabilities in Preterm Infants

Cranial USG is simple and easy method to assess preterm infant brain. Some studies showed that brain volumes of preterm infants could be calculated by measurement of 2D distances. Our aim in this study was to compare brain volume obtained by USG and MRI.
