Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious Diseases of the Fetus and Newborn Infant
TL;DR: The fifth edition of Remington, Jack S. Remington and Jerome O. Klein, illustrated, Volume 5: Essays on the Art of War, 2nd Ed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental origins of health and disease
TL;DR: An important hypothesis is raised that many an adult disease may have its origin during development in periconceptional, embryonic, fetal and early neonatal life and adult disease is probably a complex interplay of genotypic variation and environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin A supplementation in very low birth weight neonates: rationale and evidence.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the pathophysiology of vitamin A deficiency in relation to BPD, examines the evidence for vitaminA deficiency in VLBW neonates, and provides guidelines for vitamin A supplementation as an approach toward amelioration of lung disease among the V LBW survivors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin A storage in lungs during perinatal development in the rat.
Jayant P. Shenai,Frank Chytil +1 more
TL;DR: The data show that significant vitamin A storage occurs in the fetal lung during the latter one-third of prenatal life, and depletion of these stores that begins before birth and continues into the early postnatal period suggests that the developing lung may be dependent on these local vitamin A stores during active growth and differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma retinol-binding protein response to vitamin A administration in infants susceptible to bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
TL;DR: Although vitamin A supplementation at the dosage used in this study normalizes conventional plasma indexes of vitamin A in very low birth weight infants, the plasma RBP response to vitamin A may continue to reflect persistence of low vitamin A status in the more immature infants with significant lung disease.
