  12. We would like to invite all members to participate in a short survey on probiotics. As you know, probiotics are commonly given to preterm infants to reduce the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis. However, in many countries there is a lack of a product designed specifically for preterm infants. 99nicu was approached by an independent and non-profit project that aims to provide such a dedicated probiotics formulation for preterm infants. The survey takes about 5 minutes to complete. All information provided will be treated confidentially. Please use this URL to respond to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/STFZTZD

  16. Several people contacted us after the webcast on Echocardiographic assessment of PDA (broadcasted Thursday 26th), and asked if it was possible to view it afterwards. The answer was first no... but Orphan-Europe, the company organizing the webcast, generously emailed a copy and allowed sharing here through the Vimeo-service. The webcast was presented by Dr Nim Subhedar, Consultant Neonatal Paediatrician NICU Liverpool Women’s Hospital. Enjoy!
  17. The awaited probiotics UK-trial is now published, and the results are showing that a single bacteria (Bifidobacterium breve BBG-001 in very preterm infants) does not reduce the risk of NEC, late-onset sepsis, or mortality. In short, a negative trial of good quality methodologically. However, the results contrasts against the ProPrems trial, similarly powered and well-designed, but the probiotics in that trial included a 3-strain preparation. Also, the Cochrane review from last year expressed strong recommendations that probiotics should be offered to preterm infants. We have started a new 99nicu Poll about probiotic use in the NICU. Please go there, vote, and share your experience and expertise. Here's the URL: http://99nicu.org/forums/topic/1901-probiotics-in-very-preterm-infants-how-do-you-do-now/
  18. 17 November is World Prematurity Day, a day to bring light on the public arena to the world-wide burden of preterm birth. With advances in combatting infections, complications of preterm birth is now the main cause of mortality among children before 5 years of age. Of 6 millions estimated deaths among children <5y, preterm birth and its complications account for about 1 million. In many countries, there are events set up by health care providers, parent organisations, charities and organisations. In addition to your own local channels, we would like to promote a few web sites with information about the World Prematurity Day: March of Dimes EFCNI The WPD Facebook group And, additionally, find tweets using the hashtag #WorldPrematurityDay (https://twitter.com/hashtag/worldprematurityday) Finally, a video produced for March of Dimes, feel free to share it.
  19. Finally, the first 99nicu Journal Club is scheduled, on Tuesday the 24th of November, 5 PM (GMT). The JC will be held in the Chat room on 99nicu.org. To attend, you need to log in with your membership credentials (username/password), and then you find the "Chat" in the navigation menu above. Our current software license enables up to 20 people to attend, so there is a risk that some may not get in. If the discussions will be attracting lots of people, we could upgrade the license to allow more people in the Chat room (although that means a higher license cost). the Topic of the first JC is ductal shunting, and the natural evolution of the PDA and the great chance of spontaneous closure. The paper was published in ADC some time ago. A complementing paper is the findings from Epipage2, published in JAMA this summer, about the benefits of early echocardiography. Find the papers here: http://fn.bmj.com/content/100/1/F55.abstract http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2338255 the JC Discussion will be semi-structured. The aim is to dissect the paper and get a feeling whether the paper is good (research-wise) and relevant (clinical-wise). Please have a look at this poster from Elsevier about how to read a paper
