Broccoli sprout supplementation during placental insufficiency confers structural and functional neuroprotection to the fetal rat
DownloadSpring 2010
Background: Perinatal ischemic brain injury leads to developmental disability (DD), which accounts for 30% of disabilities in children. Antepartum risk, or risk occurring prior to birth occurs in more than 90% of cases. This study investigated whether maternal ingestion of a natural health...

This phenomenological study explores the lived experience of the nurse’s touch in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Touch is deeply embedded within NICU nursing, sometimes so taken-for-granted as to seem invisible, but implied in nearly every nursing gesture and pursuit. Inserting an...

The inertial filtration properties of neonatal infant nasal airways are the focus of this thesis. Nasal replicas based on computed tomography (CT) scan images of seven infants between the ages of 5 and 79 days were created using three-dimensional printing. Deposition of inertial sized aerosol...

Islet transplantation has the potential to be an effective treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes. However, a shortage of human donor islets and the need for continuous immunosuppressive therapy currently limit this therapy to patients with brittle type 1 diabetes. Neonatal pigs may...

Spring 2012
The surgical repair of congenital heart defects (CHDs) often requires a bloodless/motionless field achieved by arresting the neonatal heart and exposing it to a period of ischemia. Metabolic manipulation, such as suppression of fatty acid (FA) oxidation, improves post-ischemic functional recovery...

Registered Nurses’ Perceptions of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as a Place to Provide Palliative and End of Life Care
DownloadFall 2012
In this qualitative study, methods adapted from the field of ecologic restoration were used to explore seven registered nurses’ perceptions of one Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) as a place to provide neonatal palliative and end of life care. The study was conducted in two phases. In phase...

Trophic peptide therapies for neonatal short bowel syndrome: actions and mechanisms studied in a preclinical model
DownloadFall 2016
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) occurs when a significant length of intestine is surgically resected for both congenital and acquired intestinal abnormalities and remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. With an insufficient amount of intestine available for nutrient...

Fall 2013
Cardiovascular dysfunction in asphyxiated neonates leads to significant morbidity and mortality and the hemodynamic support is limited to the use of catecholamines. In a pilot study, we showed that low-dose vasopressin improved myocardial tissue lactate levels, suggesting decreased anaerobic...
