Recent Neonatal Kidney Publications

CONCLUSION: Our findings showed that mutual detection of uβ2-MG levels with BUN should be an early indicator for the diagnosis of renal injury with greater specificity and improved prognostic accuracy after neonatal asphyxia.

CONCLUSIONS: TC-6Fr use resulted in less need for catheter revisions and provided longer-lasting vascular access, which may influence infection rates. This catheter provides neonates in need of CRRT more reliable vascular access.

Neonatal pancreatic cell clusters (NPCCs) are potential tissues for the treatment of diabetes. Different from adult cells, they continuously proliferate and differentiate after transplantation. In this study, we utilized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect and monitor implanted NPCCs. NPCCs were isolated from one-day-old neonatal pigs, cultured for three days, and then incubated overnight with the contrast agent chitosan-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide (CSPIO) nanoparticles. In vitro,...
