BRONCHOPULMONARY DYSPLASIA

This study looks at whether a simple bedside lung ultrasound can predict chronic lung disease in premature infants born before 32 weeks. Researchers will perform ultrasounds on 150 babies with breathing problems and track their outcomes. The goal is to see if early ultrasound sco…

This study follows 300 premature babies born before 33 weeks to see if the bacteria in their stool can predict life-threatening conditions like necrotizing enterocolitis, a severe gut infection. Researchers will also analyze the babies' DNA from saliva and look at small molecules…

This study follows 526 preterm infants born before 30 weeks who have a condition called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), where a fetal blood vessel stays open too long. Researchers collect heart ultrasound, blood, and urine tests over the first month to predict which babies will c…

This study aimed to test a special MRI technique using hyperpolarized xenon gas to get detailed images of lung function in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The goal was to see if this method could reveal areas of poor ventilation or gas exchange without using radiat…

This study uses a non-invasive breathing test called forced oscillometry to measure lung function in 600 newborn infants, both full-term and premature, with and without lung conditions like respiratory distress or bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The goal is to better understand how t…
