Enteral feeding of preterm neonates: A review

Optimum nutrition is the key for growth and neurodevelopment of the vulnerable preterm neonates, yet immaturity of the gut and risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in this subgroup of neonates create hesitancy regarding aggressive feeding. Feeding practices in the preterm babies are heterogeneous across various neonatal intensive care units. Many neonatal units still differ in terms of feeding intervals, volume of feed initiation and slow versus fast advancement of feeds.

Cholestasis in Neonates with Fetal Growth Restriction

Neonatal cholestasis (NC) is usually a result of hepatobiliary dysfunction and can lead to extensive workup and prolonged stay in the NICU. NC is never physiological but rather a sign of hepatobiliary and/or metabolic disorders, some of which can become fatal if it is not identified and treated in time.

Frequency and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity among preterm neonates in a tertiary care hospital of Bangladesh

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the major emerging but preventable causes of childhood blindness. ROP is a disease of premature babies. Over the past decade, perception of pathogenesis of ROP has improved tremendously. The condition was initially introduced by Terry in 1942 as retrolental fibroplasia [1].

A community-based cross-sectional study of neonatal hypothermia and its associated factors among neonates in Shebadino woreda, Sidama region, South Ethiopia

The necessity of a warm environment for the care of low-birth-weight newborns was first recognized in the early 1900s [1]. In 1992, the World Health Organization (WHO) developed the guideline for the prevention and management of hypothermia. It is defined as a drop in a newborn's body temperature below 36.5°C (97.7°F) before the age of 28 days.
