This literature review explores factors influencing neonatal ICU intubation success, compares outcomes across settings, and identifies strategies to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population. Findings show that nearly half of all neonatal tracheal intubations are unsuccessful and that first-pass success rates correlate with provider experience. The paper emphasizes the need for standardized protocols, improved simulation-based training, and multidisciplinary strategies to reduce complications.
This research article evaluates the clinical characteristics and treatment options for neonates requiring prolonged hospitalization due to persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH). The study, which includes infants diagnosed between 2018 and 2021, analyzes baseline characteristics, treatment options (including diazoxide resistance), and genetic mutation analysis in both transient HH and congenital hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (CHI) cases.
A volume focusing on controversial issues and clinical questions in Neonatology, specifically covering detailed management, diagnosis, and treatment protocols for infectious diseases (including sepsis, CMV, HSV, and fungal infections), immunology, pharmacology, and current practices in antibiotic stewardship within the NICU.
Comprehensive lecture notes covering essential topics in Neonatology, including history taking, physical examination, screening, resuscitation, classification of newborns, management of prematurity, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), jaundice, respiratory distress, infections, and birth injuries. This content is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students.
A comprehensive guide published by the American Academy of Pediatrics for parents of premature infants and other newborns requiring care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). It provides essential information, advice, and support regarding the health and well-being of hospitalized newborns.
A monthly journal issue focusing on current topics in neonatal medicine, including optimal nutrition for very low birthweight infants (VLBW), prenatal diagnosis and management of fetal cardiac disease, diagnosis of intestinal atresia, and various clinical case studies covering complex issues like respiratory distress, hydrocephalus, hypoglycemia, jaundice, and the neonatal implications of antiphospholipid syndrome.
A comprehensive review providing a summary of the current understanding of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), outlining the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms (including the "2-hit theory"), methods for assessing PH severity, optimal management strategies (including ventilation and use of vasodilators/inotropes), and prognostic implications for affected infants.
A comprehensive text examining the current questions and controversies surrounding the diagnosis and management of renal, fluid, and electrolyte disorders in neonatal patients. This is the fourth edition in the Neonatology Questions and Controversies Series.
This manuscript addresses the ethical and clinical challenges of extreme preterm births (20–25 weeks’ gestation). It advocates for mandatory neonatology attendance starting at 20 weeks to ensure accurate gestational age assessment, immediate intervention, and informed decision-making, aiming to optimize survival and outcomes for these high-risk infants while addressing concerns regarding resource allocation and ethical guidelines.
This systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis compares the effectiveness of deferred cord clamping, umbilical cord milking, and immediate cord clamping in reducing neonatal mortality and morbidity at preterm birth. The study found high-certainty evidence that deferred cord clamping, compared with immediate cord clamping, reduced death before hospital discharge.
A comprehensive guide covering the management, procedures, on-call problems, diseases, and drugs used in neonatology. The content includes specific details on emergency medications, dosages, and indications for critical neonatal therapy such as anticonvulsants, volume expansion, and respiratory depression reversal.
This book, part of the 'Tissue Repair and Reconstruction' series, provides unique perspectives and in-depth insights into the latest advances and innovations contributing to improved treatments for patients with damaged soft and hard tissues resulting from diseases, trauma, and implantations. Key topics include fundamental concepts and surface modifications of biomaterials, computational simulations and biomechanics (especially in orthopedics and dentistry), surgical advances, and post-operative treatment and rehabilitation engineering.

A surgical manual detailing the essential techniques required for alveolar bone augmentation, focusing on procedures critical for successful outcomes in implant dentistry.
A definitive, comprehensive atlas and procedural guide providing detailed, step-by-step instructions and illustrations for patient positioning, technical factors, and radiographic anatomy required for standard and specialized imaging exams.
An expert clinician guide for the administration of evidence-based specialized cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and its subtypes. The book focuses on strategies to identify and resolve complex reasons for resistance to CBT, optimize symptom remission, generalize improvement, and forestall relapse.
Hemodynamic instability is the main factor responsible for the development of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in premature newborns. Herein, we evaluated the predictive ability of blood pressure variability (BPV) and anterior cerebral artery (ACA) blood flow parameters in IVH in premature infants with gestational age (GA) ≤32 weeks and birth weight (BW) ≤ 1,500 g.
A comprehensive textbook detailing the theory and clinical application of clear aligner treatment, with a heavy emphasis on the Invisalign appliance. The book covers fundamental aspects like case selection, ClinCheck software design, and digital workflow, alongside advanced treatment modalities for resolving crowding, deep bite, open bite, Class II and Class III malocclusions, extraction cases, orthognathic surgery integration, and interdisciplinary treatment.
