Early Maternal and Child Health Management and the Impact of Living Environment
Maternal and newborn health stands as a pivotal force in societal progress, aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that aim to diminish maternal mortality, reduce morbidity, and eliminate preventable deaths among women and infants. Over the past few decades, this field has burgeoned into a critical area of study, garnering attention from various disciplines such as obstetrics, gynecology, midwifery, nursing, psychology, and psychiatry. Evidence-based practices have catalyzed improvements in various health domains, ranging from managing complex pregnancies to fostering natural labor progression, promoting breastfeeding, and nurturing early parenthood. In light ...
Necrotizing Enterocolitis
This is the first textbook devoted entirely to understanding and treating necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), one of the leading causes of death and disability in premature infants. NEC continues to occur in neonatal units across the world, and the overall mortality has remained stubbornly high since its first description decades ago. Despite significant research into NEC, and a greater understanding of its underlying causes, there is no single source of information to which the care team can turn for guidance. This book fills that important gap in clinical care. In selecting the topics for this inaugural textbook, three guiding principles have been followed. First, to include chapters that pro...
Medical Neurohumanities: Sharing Insights from Medicine, Neuroscience and Music in Pediatric Care
Neurohumanities have long been debated but seldom applied in medicine, with the important relationship between music sciences, music therapy, and pediatric care remaining underexplored. As our understanding of the – young – brain continues to expand, it is crucial to create a shared lexicon that connects music, neuroscience, technological innovations, pediatrics, and healthcare. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, we can deepen our comprehension of the working mechanisms of music therapies and medical interventions for pediatric patients. Sharing insights, approaches, methods, and interventions promotes interdisciplinary understanding, enabling the development of more effective, patient-centered healthcare strategies that consider ethical aspects, shared therapeutic goals, and medical responsibilities.
What is new on the Horizon in Neonatology? Recent Advances in Monitoring, Diagnostics, and Therapeutics in Neonatal Care
Neonates and infants have been referred to as ‘therapeutic orphans’ due to the overall scarcity of treatments that have been developed and tailored to their needs. However, in recent years there have been increased efforts by researchers and regulatory bodies to focus on the provision of drugs, devices, and treatment modalities tailored for pediatric use. This trend is also being witnessed in neonatology, but a lot more needs to be done. This Research Topic aims to capture the latest research, reviews, and scientific opinion on new drugs, devices, diagnostics, monitoring modalities, and therapeutic models in neonatology. This includes specific products like drugs and medical devices used in the ‘detection, monitoring or management of various neonatal conditions’ such as; - Bronchopulmonary dysplasia - Neonatal seizures - Malabsorption and poor growth - Necrotizing enterocolitis - Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy - Retinopathy of prematurity - Pediatric short bowel syndrome - Respiratory distress syndrome - Congenital hyperinsulinism - Neonatal infections and Sepsis
Recent Advances in Our Understanding of NEC Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Necrotizing enterocolitis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in newborns, especially those born preterm. The pathogenesis of NEC has intrigued the neonatal medical and surgical community for over 60 years. Significant strides have been made in recent years in our understanding of why NEC occurs. Efforts continue to be made to improve our ability to prevent NEC or minimize its risk. Earlier recognition and diagnosis of NEC is being explored through various research studies as are optimal surgical strategies for managing NEC.
Psychological Implications of Preterm Birth
Preterm birth which comprises about 10% of births globally has significant short and long term implications for the child, its parents and the wider family. It poses a significant physical and mental health as well as economic burden on society. While the physical health complications of preterm birth are reasonably well documented in the literature, the data in terms of psychological impacts is still quite thin, especially for the long term. Indeed, preterm birth and the precocious hospitalization in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) might be highly distressful for both infants and parents. Different sources of stress (e.g., lights and sounds, parental separation, invasive and painful...
