Background Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a primary mode of respiratory
support for preterm infants. Animal studies have shown long-term detrimental effects on …

Background Oxygen and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are primary modes of
respiratory support for preterm infants. Animal models, however, have demonstrated …

Background Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in preterm infants is initially
beneficial, but animal models suggest longer term detrimental airway effects towards …

Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a primary form of respiratory
support used in the intensive care of preterm infants, but its long-term effects on airway (AW) …

Background: We previously showed that intra-amniotic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) amplifies
alveolar hypoplasia induced by postnatal hyperoxia. We determined whether the priming …

Introduction: Hyaluronan (HA) is a major component of the extracellular matrix. Increased
pulmonary HA concentrations are associated with several respiratory disorders and is a …

Background: Antenatal inflammation and preterm birth are associated with the development
of airway diseases such as wheezing and asthma. Utilizing a newborn mouse model, we …

Introduction: Prematurely born infants regularly develop respiratory distress syndrome and
require assisted ventilation. Ventilation may injure the premature lung and increase the risk …

Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and supplemental oxygen have
become the mainstay of neonatal respiratory support in preterm infants. Although oxygen …

Introduction Hyaluronan (HA) and the receptor for hyaluronan-mediated motility (RHAMM)
may play an important role in lung development. We examined the expression of HA content …
