» Hypoxia – Reoxygenation in neonatal cardiac arrest: Results from experimental models
31/01/20 00:00 from Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
In this review, we summarize the results of studies that investigated the effects of hypoxia and reoxygenation in cardiac arrest, including the use of different fractions of inspired oxygen, in neonatal animals. The studies were heteroge...

» NIRS in the fetal to neonatal transition and immediate postnatal period
29/01/20 00:00 from Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers the non-invasive continuous monitoring of cerebral oxygenation and perfusion. Cerebral regional oxygen (crSO2) measured via NIRS represents a mixed tissue saturation value, thus enabling informati...

» Introduction
23/01/20 00:00 from Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
Oxygen in neonates is both, friend and foe. It may be life-saving in case of (often immaturity-related) respiratory insufficiency, but at the same time may also have an extremely negative impact on critical metabolic pathways simply beca...

» Mineral and bone physiology in the foetus, preterm and full-term neonates
24/12/19 00:00 from Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
Mother is the major source of minerals in foetal life with placenta actively transporting against a concentration and electrochemical gradient. The foetal serum mineral concentration is thereby higher as compared to maternal values, whic...

» Maternal exposure to air pollution and the risk of small for gestational age in offspring: A population-based study in Taiwan
06/12/19 00:00 from Pediatrics & Neonatology
Exposure to air pollution has been associated with a wide range of adverse health effects; however, few studies addressed the relationship between ambient particulate matter as well as the compositions in particulate matter such as lead ...

» Calciotropic and phosphotropic hormones in fetal and neonatal bone development
27/11/19 00:00 from Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
There are remarkable differences in bone and mineral metabolism between the fetus and adult. The fetal mineral supply is from active transport across the placenta. Calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium circulate at higher levels in the fetu...

18/11/19 00:00 from Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
The few minutes that precede and follow birth are some of the most drastic and significant in terms of changes in physiology and possible lifelong consequences. Within a few seconds, the newborn has to shift from a state in which gas exc...

» Neonatal monitoring during delivery room emergencies
03/11/19 00:00 from Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
Fetal to neonatal transition after birth is a complex, well-coordinated process involving multiple organ systems. Any significant derangement in this process increases the risk of death and other adverse outcomes, underlying the importan...

» Issues in cardiopulmonary transition at birth
10/10/19 00:00 from Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
The transition from fetal to newborn life involves a complex series of physiological events that commences with lung aeration, which is thought to involve 3 mechanisms. Two mechanisms occur during labour, Na+ reabsorption and fetal postu...

» Delivery room emergencies in critical congenital heart diseases
30/09/19 00:00 from Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
Transition from fetal to postnatal life is a complex process. Even in the absence of congenital heart disease, about 4–10% of newborns require some form of assistance in the delivery room. Neonates with complex congenital heart disease s...

» Circulatory emergencies in the delivery room
25/09/19 00:00 from Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
The transition from fetal to neonatal life is a dramatic and complex process involving extensive physiologic changes, which are most obvious at the time of birth. Individuals who care for newly born infants must monitor the progress of t...

» Maternal High-Fat Diet Modifies the Immature Hippocampus Vulnerability to Perinatal Asphyxia in Rats
22/08/18 10:24 from NEO : Last 10 articles
Background: High-fat diet (HFD) is a detrimental habit with harmful systemic consequences, including low-grade, long-lasting inflammation. During pregnancy, HFD can induce developmental changes. Moreover, HFD-related maternal obesity mig...
