Chronic lung disease (CLD) of infancy represents the final common pathway of a heterogeneous group of pulmonary diseases that start in the neonatal period and usually evolve from acute respiratory ...

Previous studies suggest that positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) promotes aeration of the preterm lung. The role of tidal volume has been less clear. We aimed to study the effects of different ...

Diaphragm position on neonatal bedside chest radiograph appeared to be a poor surrogate for aerated lung volume and expansion, with a weak correlation to CT scan calculations. Bedside chest radiograph ...

Researchers in France suggest an association between ambient outdoor temperatures and human female newborn respiratory systems. The research was led by the Institute for Advanced Biosciences, ...
