Showing results for "preterm birth lungs"
Our studies show that Vegf-d promotes oedema in response to hyperoxia in mice and support the hypothesis that VEGF-D signalling promotes vascular leak in human HALI.
A severe neurodevelopmental disorder mostly affecting girls.
Recent studies in very premature infants (<32 weeks gestation) have shown that early commencement of parenteral nutrition immediately after birth improves physical growth. However, there are concerns that early use of very high dose of amino-acids (>3.5 g/kg/day immediately after birth) may cause metabolic acidosis, elevated blood urea, slower head growth and refeeding-hypophosphatemia syndrome. A recent multicentre randomized controlled trial found that commencement of parenteral nutrition within 24-h of admission increases the risk of infections and prolongs the duration of ventilation and ICU stay in full-term neonates, older infants and children. The study also found that delaying to day 8 of admission increased the risk of hypoglycaemia.

Maintaining sufficient vitamin D is necessary for optimal lung health, and vitamin D may modulate the lung microbiome in a sex-specific fashion
Researchers using powerful microscopes have identified bacterial slime in the lungs of some children with persistent wet coughs.
Congenital anomalies--why bother?
Tailored to spark curiosity and link directly to the Australian curriculum, our schools program engages young minds and bridges the gap between classroom learning and cutting-edge medical research.
