Formation of the human heart involves complex biological signals, interactions, specification
of myocardial progenitor cells, and heart tube looping. To facilitate survival in the hypoxemic …

Germinal matrix-intraventricular-intraparenchymal hemorrhage (GMH-IVH-IPH) is a major
complication of very preterm births before 32 weeks of gestation (WG). Despite progress in …

Globally, preterm birth affects more than one in every 10 live births. Although the short‐term
cardiopulmonary complications of prematurity are well known, long‐term health effects are …

Transitional circulation is normally transient after birth but can vary markedly between
infants. It is actually in a state of transition between fetal (in utero) and neonatal (postnatal) …

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most commonly reported birth defect in newborns.
Neonates with CHD are more likely to be born prematurely, and a higher proportion of …

Hemodynamic compromise of the neonate can occur in various clinical situations, including
but not limited to maladaptation during the early transitional period, sepsis, congenital heart …

Background Preterm birth (< 37 completed gestational weeks) has been linked to pulmonary
hypertension (PH), but the relationship to severity of preterm birth has not been studied …

Engineered heart tissues have been created to study cardiac biology and disease in a
setting that more closely mimics in vivo heart muscle than 2D monolayer culture. Previously …

Background Preterm infants are at enhanced risk of brain injury due to altered cerebral
haemodynamics during postnatal transition. This observational study aimed to assess the …

Surfactant replacement therapy (SRT) has revolutionized the management of respiratory
distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants, leading to improved survival rates and …
