Article Abstract

Objectives: to develop and validate the content of a mobile technology as a tool for the care of preterm newborns at home.

Methods: a methodological study of a descriptive, qualitative, and quantitative nature, involving the development of an application, which was designed and validated through three stages: a literature review and analysis of interviews with mothers; application development; and content validation by panel of experts.

Results: through an integrative literature review and analysis of interviews with 10 mothers, the topics incorporated into the technology were identified and subsequently validated by 14 experts, achieving a content validity index and coefficient above 0.80 across the 17 evaluated items, with an internal consistency of α=92.6.

Conclusions: the development of the application for mothers of preterm newborns demonstrated a high degree of agreement among the expert panel, confirming that the developed content is valid and serves as an additional care technology for nurses.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and provide an overview of Down syndrome and child- and mother-associated factors in Brazil from 2010 to 2020. This was a cross-sectional study including epidemiological characteristics related to live births of individuals with and without Down syndrome using the Brazilian government website. The average prevalence of Down syndrome in Brazil was approximately 30.

The Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a major global health problem, with increased risk among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. We propose SIDS, or a subset, is due to a defect in the brainstem serotonin system mediating cardiorespiratory integration and arousal. This defect impinges on homeostasis during a critical developmental period in infancy, especially in populations experiencing maternal and infantile stress, resulting in sleep-related sudden death.

Background: The neonatal period is critical for oral microbiome establishment, but temporal patterns in preterm newborns remain unclear. This study examined longitudinal microbiome changes in full-term and preterm newborns and assessed perinatal and clinical influences.

Methods: Oral swabs were collected from 98 newborns (23 full-term, 75 preterm).

The frequency and severity of heat waves are expected to worsen with climate change. Exposure to extreme heat, or prolonged unusually high temperatures, are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The fetus, infant, and young child are more sensitive to higher temperatures than older children and most adults given that they are rapidly developing.

Background: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is a common intervention for anemia in preterm infants; however, its association with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains debated. While biological mechanisms suggest potential harm, the clinical impact of transfusion frequency on BPD incidence and severity remains unclear.

Objective: To investigate whether RBC transfusion frequency is independently associated with the risk and severity of BPD in preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation.
