Because this interest is tested in the visual domain via a looking time study, parents’ visual temporally contingent feedback might be more important than parents’ auditory temporally contingent feedback. We tested 6-month-old infants because recent research has shown that until the age of 5 ...
Furthermore, our findings demonstrate that atypical functional brain connectivity is present as early as 6 weeks of age, long before detectable differences in behavior are observed in infants and toddlers at high likelihood for developing ASD. This difference is notable because it suggests a ...
Antisecretory Factor (AF) is a protein present in breastmilk that regulates inflammatory processes. We aimed to investigate the level of AF in mothers’ own milk (MOM) in relation to sepsis and other neonatal morbidities in preterm infants. Samples of br
Medical, cognitive and academic outcomes of very low birth weight infants at age 10-14 years in Ireland Low birth weight (LBW) is a leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity, and a specific risk for the development of neuro-developmental and academic pr... F Mcnicholas,E Healy,M Whit...
Figure 1 shows the distribution by age at which children had their first episode of wheeze, as well as their first cold. In Figure 2 the proportion of wheezing infants by months is represented. In this case the whole population had had an attack of wheezing at the end of the twelfth ...
1] It has been estimated that over 75% of all cases of ABM occur in children under 5 years of age, and it is one of the most common life-threatening infections in children worldwide. The WHO estimates that about 170 000 deaths occur annually from the disease worldwide; the case fatalit...
We also did not collect details of antenatal steroids received by mothers in this study, which is likely to have an impact on the short-term outcomes and mortality of infants studied [3]; however, in our hospital, around 90% of mothers of infants born at ≤32 weeks gestation receive ...
Further research is thus necessary to investigate whether infants’ motor activation upon hearing the auditory effect, which has previously been caused by their own action, is restricted to covert motor activation or can also lead to behaviorally measurable consequences (i.e., the child making sub-...
However, this was beyond the scope of the study that specifically focused on very premature children as they are at higher risk of a low lung function trajectory until adult age,4 which is associated with increased risk of early-onset COPD in later adulthood.5 The final study group included ...
Our proposed model has several features that distinguish it from the LMS approach, which is currently used to construct Newborn and Infant Close Monitoring (NICM) Growth Charts11. Most importantly, it is based around two different timescales: one measuring elapsed time since conception, and the ot...
