“…During infancy, respiratory disease is the leading cause of re-hospitalisation both in preterm and term infants 4 11–13. Preterm infants with BPD, especially if on home oxygen, are particularly vulnerable 6 12 14–16. This finding is not surprising given that BPD is characterised by an arrest of lung development leading to pulmonary dysfunction with increased susceptibility to severe respiratory infections and bronchospasm during early childhood 17.…”

The classical model of how the human visual system works is that image data are transferred from the eyes to the occipital cortex where the picture is "seen". Damage to the parts of the brain serving vision causes visual field impairment and reduced visual acuities. However, additional impairment of higher visual processing is common and may go unrecognised.Two higher visual pathways have recently been described, the dorsal and ventral streams. The dorsal stream connects the occipital lobes and posterior parietal lobes. It serves to appraise the whole scene, and perceive elements within the scene. It facilitates visual guidance of movement, by interacting with area V5 of the middle temporal lobes, or motion perception centre. It is automatic, immediate and unconscious. It is 'on line' and is not memory based. Damage impairs visual guidance of movement (optic ataxia) and visual search. The ventral stream links the occipital and temporal lobes, which contain the "image libraries". Recognition of faces, shapes, objects and routes, is attained by matching incoming data with "library data".Dorsal stream dysfunction results from posterior parietal damage and is associated with cerebral palsy, periventricular white matter injury, premature birth, hydrocephalus and Williams' syndrome, and similar visual difficulties are becoming apparent in children with autistic spectrum disorder. Ventral stream dysfunction is less frequent and usually accompanies dorsal stream dysfunction. It is not uncommon in children with hydrocephalus.A specific disorder of dorsal stream dysfunction is emerging, comprising difficulty handling the complexity of a visual scene (of varying degree) with impaired visual guidance of the limb movement (optic ataxia). Commonly, but not always this is associated with reduced visual acuities and visual field impairment, and occasionally with impaired recognition of people (which could be called "dorsal stream dysfunction plus").

Characteristics and factors associated with health care in children younger than 1 year with very low birth weight. J Pediatr (Rio J). 2013;89:75-82.* Autor para correspondência. AbstractObjectives: To identify the characteristics of health care in infants with very low birth weight during the first year of life and the factors associated with this care.Methods: This was a descriptive study with an analytical component conducted in the city of Maceió, Northeastern Brazil, with a sample of 53 children with a median age of five months at the time of the interview, and their mothers. The mothers were interviewed at home regarding socioeconomic and demographic data and health care provided for the child. Health care was assessed through an index using 16 variables related to the recommended actions for this type of care. Results: Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that maternal education and family income were the variables that best explained the health care index variation (18.9%), followed by parity (6.6%), and breastfeeding at the time of the interview (6.9%).Conclusions: Considering that families with lower socioeconomic status, women with a higher number of children, and women who did not breastfeed were factors associated with poor health care of children born with very low birth weight, these variables should be included in measures of public health planning.

Hospital readmissions and morbidity in a fifteen‐year follow‐up of very low birthweight children in Southeast Sweden

Abstract: Risk factors for readmissions were gender, low gestational age, birthweight<1000 g or mechanical ventilation. A minority of VLBW children had a handicap that influenced their daily life activities at 15 years of age.
