Summary: This systematic literature review identified three interventions used to support parents during neonatal inter-hospital transport: a communication-based intervention before transport, Kangaroo Care during transport, and video calls after transport. However, limited evidence and inconsistent outcome measurements were found. Future research should focus on developing a contemporary intervention, determining the optimum timing, and using robust study designs.

Summary: The study highlights the importance of psychoanalytic interventions in understanding early relationship disorders. Psychoanalytic theory provides therapists with new tools for intervention and increases efficiency. Early therapies based on psychoanalytic thinking can prevent future psychological issues.

Summary: The SENSE program aims to improve outcomes for preterm infants and their parents by providing consistent and evidence-based sensory experiences during their NICU hospitalization. The program undergoes updates every 5 years based on recent evidence and engagement with an advisory team. The 2nd edition incorporates refinements such as inclusive language, clarification of recommended doses, adaptations to accommodate variations in hospital lighting, and additions to visual and kinesthetic domains.

Summary: This study explored the health-related values and preferences of adults who were preterm infants and families of preterm infants regarding the prophylactic use of cyclooxygenase inhibitors (COX-Is). The findings showed that death and severe intraventricular hemorrhage were rated as the most important undesirable outcomes, and most participants were willing to consider prophylactic use of indomethacin or ibuprofen but not acetaminophen. There was variability in the choice of COX-I interventions when all three options were available.

Summary: More than two-thirds of parents discussed their mental health needs, with barriers including uncertainty about support, lack of resources and emotional support, and trust issues, while facilitators included supportive team members, peer support, and speaking to mental health professionals or neutral third parties.

Summary: Previous studies suggest the importance of stable circadian environments for fetuses to achieve sound physiology and intrauterine development. In response to the findings that pregnant females exposed to repeated shifting of light-dark cycles had increased rates of reproductive abnormalities and adverse pregnancy outcomes, artificial circadian environments have been introduced to NICUs. However, it is suggested that for preterm infants less than 30 weeks gestational age, circadian rhythmicity can be developed through stimulation of the non-visual senses such as touch and sound.

Summary: Advancements in perinatal management have improved survival rates for premature infants, but the transitional period after birth and subsequent weeks are still characterized by rapid circulatory changes. Routine respiratory care practices can have negative effects on heart function and hemodynamics in preterm infants, especially those born at the limits of viability. It is important to have tools to assess cardiopulmonary interactions and guide management in order to mitigate these potential impacts.

Summary: The gut microbiota and central nervous system have similar developmental windows during prenatal and postnatal life. Breastfeeding is associated with cognitive development and healthy microbiota in preterm infants. Understanding the role of breast milk on gut microbiota can improve infant formula.

Summary: This research conducted a systematic scoping review to identify early support interventions for parents of deaf infants, revealing that interventions commonly focused on infant language and communication, parental knowledge and skills, parent wellbeing and empowerment, and parent/child relationship. However, there is a lack of interventions specifically targeting parent support to understand or nurture child socio-emotional development, highlighting the need for further research in this area to develop evidence-based early interventions.

Summary: In preterm infants, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a major complication of preterm birth and is linked to long-term neurodevelopmental impairments. Currently, there are no widely accepted preventive or therapeutic measures for ICH and its neurological consequences. However, with the expanding understanding of cell death mechanisms, researchers have identified regulated cell death pathways that may offer potential interventions to protect the immature brain from secondary injury after ICH. This review summarizes the current evidence for regulated cell death pathways in preterm infants after ICH, including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, autophagy, and PANoptosis, as well as potential strategies to regulate these cell death processes for neuroprotection.

Summary: Academic clinical partnership plays a critical role in the development and refinement of family management intervention in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This partnership promotes excellence in nursing practice, research and education through swifter knowledge translation and earlier infusion of implementation science principles.

Summary: This study synthesized and described important elements of decision-making during antenatal consultation for threatened preterm delivery. The findings revealed four main themes: factors influencing decision-making, information sharing, building a partnership, and making the decision. The qualitative literature can provide guidance for healthcare providers in the process of shared decision-making.

Summary: Increasing placental transfusion at birth may reduce mortality in very preterm infants, while there is extremely limited evidence on the effects of other interventions to reduce blood loss after birth. Further studies are needed to assess the effectiveness of different blood-saving approaches following placental transfusion.

Summary: This study compared short-term respiratory outcomes in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants who received transcatheter occlusion or surgical ligation for significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The results showed no significant difference in respiratory outcomes between the two groups, although the transcatheter occlusion group displayed a trend towards early improvement in post-intervention respiratory trajectory. Further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm these preliminary observations.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of patient and public involvement (PPI) in the LAPCD study and explore facilitating factors and challenges. The results showed that PPI had the greatest impact on improving survey design, patient-facing materials, and data collection. Facilitating factors included clear objectives, dedicated time and resources, and support from researchers and UAG members, while hindering factors included time commitment, geographical distance, and lack of standardized feedback mechanisms.
