Association between peak serum bilirubin and severity of respiratory distress syndrome in infants of less than 30 weeks' gestation

Introduction: Bilirubin can enter the alveolar space where it could inactivate surfactant and act as an anti-oxidant agent.

Objective: To assess the hypothesis that total serum bilirubin level (TSB) may affect the severity of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and the need of respiratory supports in preterm infants.

Study design: We performed a retrospective study of 184 preterm infants with RDS, whose peak TSB had a median value of 194.8 ?mol/L (=11.3 mg/dL)...

The effect of betamethasone administration on uterine motility in pregnancy. A prospective study using four-channel tocography

We monitored 30 patients before and after betamethasone prophylaxis using four-channel tocography to evaluate if betamethasone therapy in the case of imminent preterm delivery increases uterine activity...
