The first aim of this study is to obtain insight in the physical fitness of ex-preterms. The second aim is to study the influence of the daily activity pattern of the children on physical fitness. The third aim is to study the attitude of parents…
- To analyze retinoid levels in plasma and amniotic fluid from infants and mothers to establish the potential link between retinoids and CDH. - To establish a registry of blood and tissue samples that will be valuable for future studies of the…
AimTo determine whether the prophylactic use of IVIg reduces the need for ET in neonates with Rh-D hemolytic disease.
To asses the effect of intermittent bolus nasogastric milk feeding versus semi-continuous milk feeding in preterm infants
In this pilot study we intend to measure Tregs in umbilical cord blood, in normal as well as in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, and will define their use as a predictor of the risk for developing allergic diseases in the child.
The objective of this study is to describe the association of physical, neuromotor, neurocognitive and social-emotional development with the parent-child interaction in high-risk NICU graduates at the age of 5 years, compared to term born age mates…
Primary aims:1. To perform a population-based screen to estimate the exact frequency ot transient leukemia in Dutch newborns with Down syndrome2. To investigate the realtionship between transient leukemia and the occurrence of DS ML and ALL at later…
This study-protocol is directed at the comparison of two accepted management strategies at both ends of the current treatment-spectrum of moderate hypoglycemia in 'high risk' newborns: an intensive treatment versus an expectant monitoring…
To prove that 1 corticosteroids administration is the main factor in diminished bone density of preterm neonates, 2 dexamethasone has more influence than hydrocortisone and 3 children with abberant ricketsscreening have a transient diminished bone…
To compare insulin sensitivity in full term neonates and preterm neonates at term, and to compare insulin sensitivity in small and appropriate for gestational age infants.

1. Is the concentration of brain specific proteins in CSF higher in newborn who are treated after high threshold as compared to newborns who are treated after low threshold?2. Is there any relationship between the concentration of brain specific…
To quantify splanchnic and whole body aspartate metabolism in premature neonates.
1. To determine the rate of splanchnic utilization of glutamine, proposed to be conditionally essential for premature infants.2. To quantify the rate of splanchnic oxidation of dietary glutamine, which is supposed to be one of the major fuel…
The research question of this study is whether BIND is reduced using B:A ratios in addition to TSB versus TSB only as indicators for treatment of hyperbilirubinemia in preterm infants.
The primary objective of this study is: * to provide baseline normative data of the fetal face. The secondary objectives of the study are: * to compare two-dimensional ultrasound with three-dimensional ultrasound in evaluating the fetal face. * to…
This study will investigate whether bone marrow-derived allogeneic MSCs, as administered by the nasal route, can induce the formation of neuronal tissue and restore brain function in neonates who suffered from perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (…
1- to describe the presence and severity of hemiplegic CP on the basis of neonatal MRI findings and correlate the involvement of different structures (basal ganglia, posterior limb of the internal capsule and hemisphere) with the size of the lesion2…
The main objective of the study is to construct reference curves for fetal bladder diameters and volume in the second and third trimester of pregnancy. Moreover we will investigate the variation in the dimensions of renal pelvis in relation to the…
