Reducing False Alarm Rates in Neonatal Intensive Care: A New Machine Learning Approach
In neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), 87.5% of alarms by the monitoring system are false alarms, often caused by the movements of the neonates. Such false alarms are not only stressful for the neonates as ...

Plasma Copeptin in Preterm Infants - a Highly Sensitive Marker of Fetal and Neonatal Stress
Background: Copeptin is a stable by-product of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) synthesis and reflects its secretion by the pituitary. We investigated perinatal factors affecting copeptin concentrations in preterm infa...

Neuroprotective Effects of Early Epo in Preterm Infants: an MRI study
Backgrounds and aims: With steady prematurity rates and increasing number of surviving extremely preterm infants, the risk to develop encephalopathy of prematurity characterised by white matter (WM) injury, WM lo...

AEEG Developmental Developmental Changes During the First Three Days After Birth in Very Preterm Infants
Background: Maturation of amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) activity in the preterm infant has been shown to be influenced by both gestational and postmenstrual age.

Health-Related Quality of Life and Behaviour of Triplets in Adolescent Age
Background: High order multiples are a population at risk for long-term developmental problems. Little is known about health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and behavioural characteristics of survivors of triplet...

193 The Rna-Binding Protein Rbm3 is Involved in Hypothermia Induced Neuroprotection
Background: Induced hypothermia is the only therapy with proven efficacy to reduce brain damage after perinatal asphyxia. While hypothermia downregulates global protein synthesis and cell metabolism, low tempe...

95 High Copeptin (Arginine-Vasopressin) Concentrations in Umbilical Cord Blood After Vaginal Delivery and Birth Acidosis
Background: The pituitary-secreted nonapeptide Arginine-Vasopressin (AVP) is unstable and therefore unsuited for diagnostic use but its secretion can be gauged by measuring copeptin, the C-terminal portion of ...

193 Apnea of Prematurity: Association with Neurodevelopmental Outcome?
Background: Idiopathic apnea of prematurity is a very common problem in preterm infants that may require pharmacologic or respiratory intervention and delay hospital discharge. Several authors have shown that ...

258 Investigation of the Hemodynamic Response to Flash Visual Stimulation in Neonates Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
Background/Aims: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used to study the hemodynamic response to visual stimulation in slee** neonates. The specific aims of this study were to determine whether a response in ...

245 Prediction of Cerebral Outcome at 24 Months in Preterm Infants by NIRS in The First 24 Hours After Birth
Background: The prognostic value of cerebral NIRS in preterm infants remains controversial. Impaired autoregulation of brain perfusion quantified as high coherence between oscillations of cerebral intravascular o...

273 Near Infrared Spectrophotometry Detects the Neuronal Activation Induced by Tactile, Auditory and Visual Stimulation in term Neonates
Background: Near infrared spectrophotometry (NIRS) can be used to non-invasively measure changes in optical properties during functional activation. Because these changes originate from differences in optical pro...

Cerebral blood flow and neurological outcome in the preterm infant
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) studies have provided some insight into pathophysiological mechanisms of cerebral damage in newborn children; their value in predicting brain damage, however, remains elusive. The pu...

Comparison of Cerebral Blood Volume Measured by Near Infrared Spectroscopy and Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Cerebral blood volume (CBV) can be quantified by both near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The aim is to compare CBV results obtained by NIRS and MRI in adult patients.
