BackgroundWe examined the relationship between women's prepregnancy BMI and development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in their preterm offspring, hypothesizing that obesity-associated inflammation may increase risk.MethodsWe studied infants born in California between 2007 and 2011, using
Growth, bone, and body composition were studied at prepuberty in former very low birth weight (VLBW) infants who received dexamethasone (DEX) for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) compared with VLBW infants without DEX and term-born infants (TERM) to identify early life risk factors for later low
A series of 160 consecutive patients undergoing tonsil and adenoid surgery for upper airway obstruction is reported. The ages ranged from 8 months to 13 years. Sixty-seven percent were 2, 3, or 4 years of age. All were routinely admitted overnight postoperatively. Forty-five (28%) remained in the
In children, too, treatment with glucocorticoids may occasionally be necessary. On the one hand, replacement treatment in children with the adrenogenital syndrome, on the other pharmacotherapy in a number of diseases may be required. The latter include the genuine nephrotic syndrome,
There is growing evidence that events occurring early in life, both before and after birth, are significantly associated with the risk of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diminished lung function later in life. In fact, from conception to death, a series of continuous, dynamic
BACKGROUND
There has been marked expansion in the literature and practice of pediatric sleep medicine; however, no recent evidence-based practice parameters have been reported. These practice parameters are the first of 2 papers that assess indications for polysomnography in children. This paper
BACKGROUND
The Mediterranean diet (MD) is associated with decreased risk of metabolic syndrome and gestational diabetes due to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties of its components. The aim was to investigate the potential association of MD adherence (MDA) during pregnancy by mothers
Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a multimeric collectin that is involved in innate immune defense and expressed in pulmonary, as well as non-pulmonary, epithelia. SP-D exerts antimicrobial effects and dampens inflammation through direct microbial interactions and modulation of host cell responses via
Caffeine is the most widely used drug by both adults and children worldwide due to its ability to promote alertness and elevate moods. It is effective in the management of apnea of prematurity in premature infants. Caffeine for apnea of prematurity reduces the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia
Pre‐eclampsia (PE) is a multisystem disorder that typically affects 2%–5% of pregnant women and is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, especially when the condition is of early onset. Globally, 76 000 women and 500 000 babies die each year from this disorder.
