Perinatal necrotizing enterocolitis

This study tested whether tranexamic acid, a drug that helps blood clot, can lower the chance of infection after gastrointestinal surgery. Over 3,300 adults at higher risk for complications took part. The goal was to see if the drug reduces surgical site infections compared to a …

This study tested whether giving probiotics (single or multiple strains) to 249 premature babies for 28 days after birth could prevent necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, and improve growth. The babies were born before 36 weeks and weighed under 2500 grams. Researchers compared a …

This study tested whether giving a probiotic (Lactobacillus reuteri) to premature infants could reduce the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a severe gut infection, and death. One hundred babies born between 28 and 36 weeks and weighing 1000-2500 grams were enrolled. The p…

This study tested a 12-week online mind-body program for adults with chronic conditions like heart failure, cancer, and liver disease. The program included mindful movement, meditation, breathwork, and coping skills. Researchers measured changes in anxiety, depression, fatigue, a…

This study looked at whether giving antibiotics early to extremely low birthweight babies (born before 31 weeks) might cause more harm than good. Researchers compared babies who got standard antibiotics to those who got a placebo. The goal was to see if early antibiotics increase…

This pilot study tested whether computer models could predict sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in very low birth weight infants (under 1500 grams). Researchers used existing NICU data to build and test these models. The goal was to see if this approach is feasible, not …

This study looks at whether a set of guidelines called the EMNODN NEC Care Bundle helps very preterm babies (born before 32 weeks) get more of their own mother's milk and reduces a life-threatening gut condition called necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Researchers will compare dat…
