The aim of this study was to examine development of community children's nursing in Northern Ireland
Abstract:
All parents taking on the responsibility of providing care for their child with complex needs in the community setting need to feel competent, confident and supported. Despite policy recommendations that reinforce the value of community children's nursing in meeting child and family needs, numbers in Northern Ireland remain small. The development of community children's nursing in more...

An 8-year-old boy born prematurely at 26 weeks' gestation presented with a reticulate scar on the left cheek. This started as an eroded area on day 3 postpartum, followed by crusting and scarring. There were also linear scars on the left forearm, left lower back and abdomen. The clinical picture fits the entity of congenital erosive and vesicular dermatosis. This retrospective case more...

This article discusses consensus statements on neonatal viability
Abstract:
The gestational age and birth weight cut off for intact survival in extremely preterm infants is unclear. There is uncertainty among obstetricians and neonatologists about when it is inadvisable to institute intensive care. The suggested definition in relation to viability is when mortality does not exceed 50% but the corresponding figure for disability is undetermined. On foot of these more...

The aim of this study was to examine a high resolution linkage disequilibrium map to evaluate common genetic variation in TP53 and neural tube defect risk in an Irish population

Genetic and environmental factors contribute to the etiology of neural tube defects (NTDs). While periconceptional folic acid supplementation is known to significantly reduce the risk of NTDs, folate metabolic pathway related factors do not account for all NTDs. Evidence from mouse models indicates that the tumor protein p53 (TP53) is involved in implantation and normal neural tube more...

This article discusses evidence-based guidelines for postnatal steroid therapy in the management of chronic lung disease.

Corticosteroids were first prescribed for preterm neonates to treat respiratory distress syndrome, but they were found to have no beneficial effect in this disorder. About 20 years ago, dexamethasone was first used to treat infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia who were ventilator dependent after the age of 3 weeks. There were short-term benefits, with an improvement in lung function more...

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm neonates is caused by a lack of alveolar surfactant, which leads to decreased pulmonary compliance and increased work of breathing. Effective therapy for RDS has reduced mortality at the expense of increasing the number of preterm survivors with chronic lung disease.

The aim of this review was to determine if late (> 3 weeks) postnatal corticosteroid treatment vs control is of benefit in the treatment of chronic lung disease (CLD) in the preterm infant

This is probably due to persistence of inflammation in the lung. Corticosteroids have powerful anti-inflammatory effects and have been used to treat established CLD. However it is unclear whether any beneficial effects outweigh the adverse more...

OBJECTIVE: Mediolateral episiotomy is associated with lower rates of significant perineal tears than midline episiotomy. However, the relationship between precise angle of episiotomy from the perineal midline and risk of third-degree tear has not been established. This study quantifies this relationship. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: National Maternity Hospital, Dublin, Ireland. more...

This case reports a female infant of 42 weeks gestation with diaphragmatic hernia and hypoplastic left heart. A double vagina, absent uterus & abnormal male gonads were found in the presence of normal external female genitalia - Meacham Syndrome
Abstract:
We report a female infant of 42 weeks gestation with a left sided diaphragmatic hernia and a hypoplastic left heart. A true double vagina, absent uterus and abnormal male gonads were found in the presence of normal external female genitalia. Conventional G band karyotyping of skin samples revealed a normal male karyotype. The aetiology and inheritance are unknown. We believe this to be more...

This case report discusses early continuous video-electroencephalography from 3 hours after birth in an infant with the characteristic clinical and radiologic features of acute near-total intrauterine asphyxia
Abstract:
The evolution of electroencephalographic changes after acute hypoxic-ischemic injury is poorly understood, as a clear time of insult is often absent and continuous electroencephalographic monitoring in the first 3 days after such injury has not been previously reported. Infants who suffer sudden profound asphyxia, often termed "acute near-total intrauterine asphyxia", have more...

The aim of this review was to determine if postnatal corticosteroid treatment is of benefit in the prevention of chronic lung disease in the preterm infant
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Chronic lung disease (CLD) remains a major problem in neonatal intensive care units. Persistent inflammation in the lungs is the most likely underlying pathogenesis. Corticosteroids have been used to either prevent or treat CLD because of their potent anti-inflammatory effects. OBJECTIVES: To determine if postnatal corticosteroid treatment is of benefit in the prevention of more...

The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and potential cost of an echocardiographic screening program for congenital heart disease
Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness and potential cost of an echocardiographic screening program for congenital heart disease (CHD). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 01/11/94 and 28/02/98 there were 9697 deliveries in The Royal Maternity Hospital Belfast. Mothers were randomized before delivery. 4875 infants were allocated to the scan group, while 4822 were assigned to clinical more...

The aim of this study was to assess an economic evaluation of ultrasonography in the diagnosis and management of developmental hip dysplasia in the United Kingdom and Ireland
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Clinical neonatal hip screening is performed to identify hip instability and the increased risk of later hip subluxation and dislocation. However, there is minimal information regarding the costs of such screening to parents and health services. The aim of this study was to assess these costs in association with the use of ultrasonography for the diagnosis and management of more...

This study examined peripheral visual field in premature children who received diode laser photocoagulation for threshold retinopathy of prematurity and in a comparison group with subthreshold ROP that had regressed spontaneously without laser treatment
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To assess the peripheral visual field in premature children who received diode laser photocoagulation for threshold retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and in a comparison group with subthreshold ROP that had regressed spontaneously without laser treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eleven patients (18 eyes) were treated with laser, and nine patients (16 eyes) with subthreshold more...

The aim of this study was to investigate the expression and production of elastin in the lung in newborn rats with congenital diaphragmatic hernia during mechanical ventilation
Abstract:
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Hypolastic lung in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) shows markedly thickened alveolar walls, increased interstitial tissue, and markedly diminished alveolar air space, showing morphologic immaturity. Decrease in lung compliance and distensibility often is seen in human CDH as well as experimentally produced CDH. Collagen and elastin, critical components of the more...
