Jaundice

At birth, the infant's weight was measured daily to assess the adequacy of nutritional intake. This indicator can be influenced by various factors related to the mother, her pregnancy, as well as medical interventions during the pre-delivery phase, such as pre-partum maternal fluid intakes, and the subsequent feeding method chosen for the newborn infant. This study aimed at exploring the association between maternal vascular fluid loading during labor in the pre-partum period and neonatal weight loss in the first two days of life. The study focuses on infants fedded with infant formula. This observational, retrospective, single-center study was carried out at the Amiens University Hospital Center. The participants were mothers aged 18 and older, hospitalized in the maternity ward following full-term delivery (\> 37 weeks of gestation). Data were collected through the medical records of the patient and their newborn. The investigators hypothesize that a relationship may exist between maternal pre-partum vascular fluid loading and neonatal weight loss in the first two days of life, in infants fed with infant formula. These results could raise awareness and help adapt medical and parental approaches to neonatal weight loss.

In this study, a single non-invasive tool, spleen stiffness measurement (SSM), was used to monitor the disease regression of inpatients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and acute liver injury. The present study aimed to establish an early diagnosis warning model for acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) by SSM and investigate the effect of dynamic changes in SSM on the short-term prognosis (28-day, 90-day morbidity and mortality) of inpatients with CLD and acute liver injury.

The goal of this observational study is to compare the value of transcutaneous bilirubin devices versus serum bilirubin in jaundiced neonates

Evaluate LINFU® in patients who exhibit signs or symptoms (i.e. jaundice, abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea and vomiting etc.) suggestive of pancreatic cancer (PDAC) or have evidence of imaging studies suggestive of PDAC.

Before birth, the baby's lungs are filled with fluid and babies do not use the lungs to breathe, as the oxygen comes from the placenta. As delivery approaches, the lungs begin to absorb the fluid. After vaginal delivery, the umbilical cord is clamped and cut after a delay that allows some of the blood in the umbilical cord and placenta to flow back into the baby. Meanwhile, as the baby breathes for the first time, the lungs fill with air and more fluid is pushed out. However, it does not always work out that way. A baby born prematurely may have breathing problems because of extra fluid staying in the lungs related to the immaturity of the lung structure. Thus, the baby must breathe quicker and harder to get enough oxygen enter into the lungs. The newborn is separated from the mother to provide emergency respiratory support. Although the baby is usually getting better within one or two days, the treatment requires close monitoring, breathing help, and nutritional help as the baby is too tired to suck and swallow milk. Sometimes, the baby cannot recover well and show greater trouble breathing needing intensive care. This further separates the mother and her baby. A possible mean to help the baby to adapt better after a premature birth while staying close to the mother is to delay cord clamping when efficient breathing is established, either spontaneously or after receiving breathing help at birth. In this study, we intend to test this procedure in moderate or late preterm infants and see whether the technique helps the baby to better adapt after birth and to better initiate a deep bond with the mother.
