Objective: Right ventricular (RV) performance among infants with bronchopulmonary
dysplasia (BPD) remains poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that myocardial …

Evolving bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is characterized by impaired alveolarization
leading to lung aeration inhomogeneities. Hyperoxia-exposed preterm rabbits have been …

Introduction The lung function outcome of cohorts of very low birth weight (VLBW; birth
weight< 1501 g) survivors born in the late 1970s or early 1980s into adulthood at an age …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare subjective measures (overall health
assessment both by the study physician and the child's mother) with objective …

Growth failure is a major problem in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), but the
cause is unknown. We studied 13 infants with BPD but without other medical problems that …

An increase in lung liquid may contribute to respiratory disease in preterm infants. Uneven
distribution of lung liquid may cause heterogeneity in the lung disease seen in these infants …

Rationale Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a major complication of premature birth
and the most common cause of chronic lung disease in infancy. Previous studies have …

Background: There is a lack of information on normal inspiratory and expiratory CT lung
density in infants. Objective: To describe normal regional CT lung density at end inspiratory …

Objective To develop an high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scoring system for
the assessment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and determine its usefulness as …

Background Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is one of the most serious complications of
neonatal mechanical ventilation. Early diagnosis may influence treatment options such as …
