Building Bridges: 99nicu.org Welcomes NeoIPC

We are excited to share news that 99nicu.org has begun collaborating with NeoIPC, a European Union-funded initiative addressing hospital-acquired infections and antimicrobial resistance in neonatal units. What is NeoIPC? Nearly 1 in 10 European newborns requires NICU admission in their first days of life, which can expose them to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. NeoIPC is a European Union-funded research initiative focused on improving infection prevention and control (IPC) in NICUs. The project b

Quality of life in adults born extremely preterm - and large gap between what we know and what we need to know

Sweden is a good country to be born extremely preterm. Neonatal intensive care is centralized and pretty much equally organized, and outcomes are regarded as good and similar throughout the country. Like in most other European countries, the welfare system enables equal access for all, practically at no cost for families. Sweden has been at the forefront of the slide of the ”window of viability”, i.e. at which gestational age extremely preterm infants are offered intensive care. I don’t know how

New Translation Features: Neonatal care has no borders, and neither should our 99nicu community

Dear 99nicu friends, Some of you might have already noticed our 99nicu page has been going through small improvements. We keep thinking about how to make this page more friendly for you, our users.

As 99nicu, we cannot guarantee you access to full texts, but at least we can show you new research being published every single day—f

My best /worst list of 2007.

This is my list for 2007... Best research experience... our brilliant study on twins, their birth weights and later risk of type-2 diabetes Worst research experience... four rejections of the manuscript of the brilliant study above... (NEJM, Lancet, JAMA, Diabetes...) Best neonatal gossip... how the family Zlatan Ibrahimovic escaped the paparazzi photographers from the maternity ward... (well, this is from 2006, but I heard the story just recently) Most fascinating journey...

Rationality vs empathy

When speaking to people in non-medical professions about daily life in neonatal care, many people wonder how we cope with everything. This remarkable mix of well-baby-nursery problems, medical and ethical issues in the NICU... and all parents... and their fear, anger and happiness. I do not really know what to respond to such questions, but a bit of the answer might be related to how we combine a rational mind with empathic capabilities. I mean, when standing in front of a newly delivered 25

Reflections... professional networks are no
