Effect of early neurodevelopmental therapy in normal and at-risk survivors of neonatal intensive care.
Muriel Goodman,A. D. Rothberg,JoyceE. Houston-Mcmillan,PeterA. Cooper,JenniferD. Cartwright,MaryAnne Van Der Velde +5 more
TL;DR: At a corrected age of 3 months, 80 low birth-weight infants were assigned to normal or at-risk groups on the basis of a neurodevelopmental assessment scale and tested at 12 months by an independent psychologist blinded for infant group.

Precursor prothrombin status in patients receiving anticonvulsant drugs
VictorA. Davies,AndrewC. Argent,Hugh Staub,A. D. Rothberg,Peter M. Atkinson,NanetteL. Pienaar +5 more
TL;DR: The case for antenatal vitamin K supplementation in pregnancies complicated by anticonvulsant therapy, together with previous findings of raised PIVKA concentrations in maternal-infant pairs exposed to gestational anticonsvulsants and reports of neonatal haemorrhage in infants of epileptics, is strengthened.

Effect of airway inertance on linear regression estimates of resistance and compliance in mechanically ventilated infants: a computer model study.
TL;DR: Simulated measurements confirmed that resistance is correctly estimated if inertance is neglected, but a positive bias in compliance can be, proportional to the inertance, the compliance, and the sinusoidal frequency at which the measurements are made.

Measurement of the frequency response and common-mode gain of neonatal respiratory pressure and flow measurement systems Part 1: Apparatus
TL;DR: A mathematical model of the acoustic microphone used as reference transducer, the microphone preamplifier, and the thermal behaviour of the plethysmograph, is developed to quantify the frequency response of the system.
