Prenatal Care & Fetal Development

I was wondering if any one has the NICE preterm bilirubin charts in mg/dl rather than mmol/l - or if the regions that report in mg/dl have found a way around this? TIA

does anyone know if there are new devices for Replogle tubes for esophageal atresia? with intermittent suctioning

From prof Takeshi Arimitsu, invited speaker at our previously planned Meetup in April 2020 (but cancelled due to Covid), I got an email about an interesting case report from their large neonatal center in Tokyo. They have published about a 268 gram 24-weeker with intact survival. I share the last sentences of the summary below. The publication is available open-access and in full-text here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2020.628362/full Looking fw to follow the discussion about this extraordinary case.

It is not uncommon to have extreme preterm babies being under weight and stunted at 36 or 40 weeks PMA. Our standard of care for postnatal nutrition has traditionally been to provide nutrients which matches fetal accretion rate. But is it really wise to give the same quantity of nutrients. Preterm birth and exposure to postnatal life in itself would cause epigenetic changes in how a neonate shoudl. Metabolize and assimilate the nutrients administered. So what really constitutes as EUGR. Is it only the 10 th centile at 36 weeks and 40 weeks PMA or is it standard deviation scores below expected (like 1SD below the 10 th centile - considering that some amount of …

dear sir, Do you have guidelines or resources to train neonatal transfer? thanks

Hi, I recently care of a couple of 34 weeks Mono-Di twin male infants, one of them with a Hct of 37% and the other 47%. The BW was very similar in both twins at 1890g and 1900g and no h/o olygo was recorded in any of them. I ordered a retic count in the anemic boy, as well as a CUS and a KB test on the mother. KB test was reported as 0.15; with an estimated of fetal blood loss of 12ml. Retic count was 16% and came down nicely over three days to 8%. Hct remained stable in the low 30%. Both kids were asymptomatic since birth and are feeding and growing well. Questions: is this presentation consistent with significant Feto-Maternal Hemorrhage (FMH)? Can FMH affect p…
