Juvenile idiopathic arthritis: lymphocyte activation gene-3 is a central immune receptor in children with oligoarticular subtypes
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is one of the most common inflammatory joint diseases in children. Previous studies have shown that in the oligoarticular subtype of this disease, T cells play a central role in pathogenesis. T cell inhibitory recept...
Chorioamnionitis induces changes in ovine pulmonary endogenous epithelial stem/progenitor cells in utero
Chorioamnionitis is an intrauterine infection of the placenta and fetal membranes. It is the leading cause of preterm delivery and is a common risk factor for adverse pulmonary outcomes such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia. There is evidence to suggest t...
Marc Beltempo – Early Career Investigator Highlight
Previous studies have shown an association between fluid retention during the early postnatal period and increased BPD. However, these studies were performed nearly two decades ago meaning their results may not apply to the contemporary NICU setting, w...
Calcium-sensing receptor and CPAP-induced neonatal airway hyper reactivity in mice
Respiratory support plays a crucial role in the care of preterm infants in the NICU, ensuring that they get enough oxygen during this critical period of development. But it is becoming increasingly clear that former preterm i...
The utility of the fronto-temporal horn ratio on cranial ultrasound in premature newborns: a ventriculomegaly marker
Extremely preterm infants are at a high risk for brain injury, and this risk is most severe in children with intraventricular hemorrhage followed by post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilation. Bedside cranial ultrasound allows clinicians to identif...
Impact of integrated clinical decision support systems in the management of pediatric acute kidney injury: a pilot study
Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes significant morbidity and mortality in children, including prolonged hospital stays, increased risk of in-hospital death and future risk of hypertension and progression to chronic kidney&n...
Autonomic development in preterm infants is associated with morbidity of prematurity
The latter half of gestation and early neonatal life are critical periods for the maturation of the autonomic nervous system. Premature infants are born with underdeveloped autonomic maturation and must undergo their developmental...
Early pediatric chronic kidney disease is associated with brain volumetric gray matter abnormalities
Pediatric chronic kidney disease (pCKD) results in a life-long burden that requires routine care. Neurocognitive dysfunction, specifically impairment on tasks of executive function, is a well-established comorbidity but there is a paucity of d...
Perspectives from the Society for Pediatric Research. Neonatal encephalopathy clinical trials: developing the future
Therapeutic Hypothermia has long been the standard of care for infants with moderate to severe neonatal encephalopathy. However, the future of treatment for neonatal encephalopathy (NE) will focus on hypothermia adjuvant therapies. There needs to be a ...
Pediatric pulmonary hypertension: insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 is a novel marker associated with disease severity and survival
Pediatric Pulmonary hypertension (PAH) is a heterogeneous disease, characterized by sustained elevation of pulmonary arterial pressures and death from right ventricular failure. Given the extremely high burden of morbidity and mortality associ...
