bronchopulmonary dysplasia/edema

INTRODUCTION Background Mechanical ventilation (MV) is one of the most important risk factors for the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in the preterm infant, due to the early pulmonary inflammation from volume- and baro-trauma and the secondary 1. Despite this, around 80% of infants

BACKGROUND BPD continues to be one of the most common complications associated with preterm birth. A 2013 US study reported an increase in healthcare cost of $31,565 associated with BPD, after controlling for birth weight, gestational age, and socio-demographic characteristics during the initial

Preeclampsia is a multiorgan, heterogeneous disorder of pregnancy associated with significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The incidence of preeclampsia is about 5% to 10% of all pregnancies, with higher rates reported in first pregnancies, twin pregnancies, and in women who have

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), also known as chronic lung disease (CLD), is a major complication of premature birth and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia most commonly affects preterm infants who have required prolonged aggressive mechanical

The patency of ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a frequent complication in preterm infants suffering from respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and 60% to 70% of preterm infants of <28 weeks' gestation receive medical or surgical therapy for a PDA [1]. Neonates with a left-to-right shunt through the ductus

BACKGROUND: Eleven to 22 percent of prematurely born human infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) treated with artificial ventilation and supplemental oxygen therapy, develop a severe chronic lung disease called bronchopulmonary dysplasia. While many children who had BPD are asymptomatic

BACKGROUND: The study was a subproject within a Specialized Center of Research (SCOR) in Lung Biology and Diseases in Infants and Children. The clinical interventions studied had significance for respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn and for bronchopulmonary dysplasia, which is the chronic
