Theoretical and experimental analyses demonstrate that a hemispheric polymer–drug matrix
laminated with an impermeable coating, except for an exposed cavity in the center face, …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a multihospital collaborative designed to increase breast milk
feeding in premature infants. METHODS: Eleven NICUs in the California Perinatal Quality of …

Matrixes composed of ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer are useful vehicles for the sustained
release of macromolecules such as proteins. A new procedure for fabricating these …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Sonography, CT, and MR imaging are commonly used to
screen for neonatal intracranial ischemia and hemorrhage, yet few studies have attempted to …

Objective: Over the last decade, several new therapies, including high-frequency oscillatory
ventilation (HFOV), exogenous surfactant therapy, and inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), have …

Background/Purpose: Venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
traditionally has been the mode of support used in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). A …

Matrix devices as vehicles for drug delivery have advan—tages in their ease of fabrication
when compared to other sustained release systems such as membrane—encapsulated res—…

ABSTRACT: The auditory brainstem response (ABR) was monitored during infusion of bilirubin
in six ventilated newborn rhesus monkeys (138–145 d gestation) while acute changes in …

OBJECTIVE: To study the toxicity of bilirubin in primary cultures of newborn rat cerebral cortical
astrocytes. STUDY DESIGN: Primary cultures of newborn rat astrocytes were incubated …

Purpose We analyzed data from an ongoing registry to determine time to improvement in
oxygenation in preterm and late preterm or term neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure and …
