Staphylococcus stick to skin triggering infection Skin, the human body's largest organ, is an effective barrier against bacteria. But the extremely delicate skin of a premature baby can be the ultimate breeding ground for organisms triggering certain infectious diseases. A Swedish team of researchers, writing in the journal of Pediatric Research, has discovered that a specific kind of staphylococcus can attach itself to the skin by using its tufted, self-adhesive hairballs and cause infection.

New Device Helps Premature Babies Suck Better, Fas Premature babies with respiratory distress syndrome have difficulty learning to eat after lengthy tube feedings. But new research shows preterms who used the NTrainer, a new therapeutic device, learned more rapidly to suck far better and transitioned to oral feeding faster. The syndrome is a leading cause of death among infants under a year. The NTrainer device powers a Soothie silicone pacifier with a computer-controlled air pump to transform the nipple into a dynamically patterned pulsing touch stimulus on the surface of the infant’s lips and tongue. Modeled extensively on the burst-pause suck dynamics of healthy preterm infants, the NTrainer device essentially teaches babies the correct pattern to produce the “non-nutritive suck,” what they normally do in the womb beginning as early as the second trimester of development. March of Dimes - Peristats Excellant source of information for preemie statistics and other information. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) "SIDS is the leading cause of death among infants who are 1 month to 1 year old, and claims the lives of about 2,500 infants each year in the United States." Updated Guidelines May Reduce Risk of SIDS Reinforcing previous guidelines, scientists still say parents should put their babies to sleep on their backs without blankets or pillows in the cribs. This is now even recommended for premature infants. Low Birth Weight Spells Adult Risk for Diabetes an When babies born prematurely with a low birth weight become young adults, they carry a health legacy that endures beyond their rocky start, researchers here reported. Different approach needed to protect brains of pre More than two percent of babies are born before the completion of their eighth month of gestation, and up to half of these infants suffer brain injury. Unlike adults, premature infants receive the most damage in the white matter, the portions of the brain that connect different brain regions. "These injuries can lead to behavioral problems, developmental delay, cognitive impairment or cerebral palsy," says senior author Mark P. Goldberg, M.D., professor of neurology and of neurobiology. "In this study, we've identified a unique vulnerability in the developing brain's white matter that likely contributes to those disabilities. We will be looking for new drug treatments to prevent injury." High-tech pacifier being tested in hospitals may h A new high-tech pacifier being developed by the University of Kansas to train babies to suck at the right time, in the right way, may allow them to feed, thrive and leave intensive care units earlier. The pacifier also may reduce the incidence or severity of certain developmental disabilities that appear in early childhood and beyond as well as possibly boost IQ.   The NTrainer device powers a Soothie silicone pacifier with a computer-controlled air pump to transform the nipple into a dynamically patterned pulsing touch stimulus on the surface of the infant’s lips and tongue.

New Way To Assess Pain In Preemies When babies are born very premature or are quite ill, they are exposed to painful procedures quite frequently and it can be difficult to know whether their pain is being managed properly.   Children can become over sensitized to touch to where even the slightest things can feel painful.
