Antenatal Infection Compromises Post-Natal Growth And Lung Development In The Premature Baby

Christèle Gras-Le Guen (Hôpital Mère Enfant CHU Nantes, France) and colleagues report an experimental work in the rabbit in order to confirm an association, previously reported in humans, between antenatal infection and post-natal bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the most serious respiratory disease in premature babies.

Gene Mutation May Cause Immature Lungs In Newborns

Scientists have identified a gene critical to lung maturation in newborns and the production of surfactant, which lines lung tissues and prevents the lungs from collapsing. In a study posted online by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), investigators at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center deleted the Foxm1 gene in embryonic mice.

Breastfed Kids Breathe More Easily

Breastfeeding for at least four months helps children breathe more easily and may curb their susceptibility to asthma, reveals research published ahead of print in the journal Thorax. The findings are based on almost 1500 British children born on the Isle of Wight between 1989 and 1990 (Isle of Wight Birth Cohort), whose respiratory health was tracked at the ages of 1, 2, 4 and 10. Extensive information was gathered during their check-ups.

Risk Factors Outside Of AAP Guidelines Identify More Preemies Needing RSV Prophylaxis

New data have emerged regarding three risk factors which may help pediatricians better identify which preterm infants are at high risk of severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease and may thus benefit from palivizumab (Synagis®) prophylaxis, investigators reported at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) 2008 National Conference and Exhibition. The risk factors include cigarette smoking, crowded living conditions, and young chronologic age.
