Infants with a low body weight or short gestational duration are also vulnerable to hypothermia because they have a very thin...

.... Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on gas exchange and right-to-left shunt in the neonatal period, and its evolution over the first year of life. Method: We assessed shift and shunt in extremely preterm (EP) and very preterm (VP...

Bougnères Using the infusion of D -(––)-3-hydroxy-[1,2,3,4,- 13 C 4 ]butyrate at tracer doses, we measured total ketone body turnover in 13 premature and 10 at term infants in the first 2 weeks after birth. The premature infants received parenteral...

.... As there is evidence for the relative inability of infants to synthesize taurine, this nitrogen compound has to be wholly supplied by the mother during pregnancy and by diet after birth, particularly for the prematures who have to constitute appreciable reserves in their tissues. In adults (mammals and humans), it has...

In normals, values for c-AMP were highest on days 1 and 2 (1.3–1.5 nmol/ml) and decreased thereafter. In prematures the c-AMP values were significantly lower...
