For premature and full term infants who need help from a venti-lator for breathing, it can be difficult to hold the infant skin-to-skin and often depends on the nurses who are present at the time. Lying skin-to-skin is a way to treat premature babies.

Objective of the study: assessment of the nutritional status of infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Materials and methods of research: a retrospective uncontrolled non-randomized cross-sectional comparative study was carried out. It involved 40 premature babies (boys – 19, girls – 21) at the corrected age of 3,3 [2,3–4,0] months and 16 age matched full-term babies (comparison group). Children born prematurely were divided into 2 groups depending on their body mass (BM) at birth: 1st – 25 children with BM less than 1500 g, 2nd – 15 children with BM from 1500 to 2500 g. The first group included subgroups 1A and 1B, depending on the presence or absence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in children. Physical development was assessed using INTERGROWTH-21st and WHO Anthro, 2009 anthropometric calculators, body composition was determined by air plethysmography using a PEA POD apparatus. Results: the assessment of anthropometric indices (WAZ and HAZ) calculated for postnatal and corrected age revealed the most severe manifestations of nutritional deficiency in children with very low BM at birth who developed bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The percentage of fatty BM was statistically significantly lower in children of subgroups 1A and 1B compared to full-term infants (p<0,006), as well as fatfree BM (p<0,012). Conclusion: the slow development of anthropometric indicators of premature babies with very low BM, especially those with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, indicates the need for timely correction of their nutrition.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to analyze possible links between paternal involvement and children’s competence in coordinated joint attention (CJA) in preterm versus full-term 12-month-old babies. Paternal involvement was measured through the amount of time fathers allocated to different activities with their infants, whereas children’s capacity for CJA was inferred on the basis of episodes of joint attention (EJA), empirically derived from father-infant interactions. Fifty-nine father-infant dyads participated in the study. Fatherinfant interactions in free-play situations, diaries of infant activities, and semi-structured family interviews were analyzed. Episodes of joint attention were more frequent in interactions of fathers with full-term babies in comparison to extremely premature babies, and in the case of preterm infants, in dyads with highly involved fathers as compared to those with a relatively low level of involvement.

Heat Preservation

The aim of this study was to explore the application effect of intelligent incubator in neonatal care. We selected the period from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020, where there were 100 full-term and premature babies born in a hospital and transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) within 1 hour after birth. Before the improved heat preservation, 100 full-term infants in the control group and 100 full-term infants in the intervention group of the intelligent warming box were formed into a full-term infant group for a comparative study. Statistics and comparison of the two groups of term infants and premature infants admitted to the hospital were carried out to assess body temperature and the changes in the incidence of each system. The research found that on comparison of admission body temperature between the control group and the intervention group, with the intervention group in the intelligent heating box, the incidence of hypothermia was significantly lower than that of the control group (95% vs. 37% of full-term infants; 98% vs. 49% of premature babies; there is a statistical significance ( P < 0.05 )). The intelligent heating box can reduce the fluctuation of the newborn’s body temperature, keep the internal environment of newborns stable, and provide suitable conditions for the rapid growth of newborns, suitable for clinical promotion and application.

This analysis comprises 11,818 Negro newborn infants delivered at Freedmen's Hospital during the period 1939 to 1947. There were 10,692 full term infants and 1126 premature babies. The incidence of prematurity was 9.5%. The average birth weight for full term female infants was 3269 gm. and for males 3378 gm. The combined average for full term infants was 3337 gm. The relatively higher birth weights for Negro infants observed in this series is attributed in a large measure to more favorable economic conditions during the period of observation.
