Neonatal sepsis and cardiovascular dysfunction I: mechanisms and pathophysiology
The highest incidence of sepsis across all age groups occurs in neonates leading to substantial mortality and morbidity. Cardiovascular dysfunction frequently complicates neonatal sepsis including biventricula...

Nutrition of the preterm infant with persistent ductus arteriosus: existing evidence and practical implications
The persistence of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common condition in preterm infants with a prevalence inversely proportional to gestational age. PDA is associated with mild-to-severe gastrointestinal ...

The impact of a PDA on tissue oxygenation and haemodynamics following a blood transfusion in preterm infants
To examine the impact of PRBC transfusion on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), systemic vascular resistance and myocardial function using echocardiography and cerebral and splanchnic tissue oxygenation usin...

The use of milrinone in neonates with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn - a randomised controlled trial pilot study (MINT 1)
To assess the impact of milrinone administration on time spent on nitric oxide (iNO) in infants with acute pulmonary hypertension (aPH). We hypothesized that intravenous milrinone used in conjunction with iNO ...

The role of furosemide and fluid management for a hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus in premature infants
A patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in infants born premature can present significant management challenges for neonatal providers. Quantifying a hemodynamically significant PDA (hsPDA) represents the first hurdl...

Open AccessInfants with Down syndrome and congenital heart disease have altered peri-operative immune responses
Infants with Down syndrome (DS) have an altered immune response. We aimed to characterise the inflammatory response in infants with DS and congenital heart disease (CHD) peri-operatively in comparison to infan...

Open AccessPlatelets in pediatric and neonatal sepsis: novel mediators of the inflammatory cascade
Sepsis, a dysregulated host response to infection, has been difficult to accurately define in children. Despite a higher incidence, especially in neonates, a non-specific clinical presentation alongside a lack...

Cerebral oxygen saturation and autoregulation during hypotension in extremely preterm infants
The impact of the permissive hypotension approach in clinically well infants on regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) and autoregulatory capacity (CAR) remains unknown.

A review of the role of extracellular vesicles in neonatal physiology and pathology
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived membrane-bound particles, extensively investigated across many fields to improve the understanding of pathophysiological processes, as biomarkers of disease and as...
