Non-iatrogenic pathology of the preterm infant

Abstract

Non-iatrogenic anatomical findings at autopsy provide insight into preterm infant physiology. The different patterns of lipid accumulation in the adrenal may correspond to long-term differences in stress response. Cardiac papillary muscle infarction occurs with asphyxia or shock and can explain myocardial dysfunction. Underdevelopment of preterm kidneys may correlate with susceptibility to renal disease and hypertension in adult life. Immaturity of the lung or immature responses to inflammation, rather than high oxygen concentrations or high ventilation pressures, may underlie chronic lung disease in premature infants. Hepatic extramedullary haematopoiesis is normal but, if excessive or abnormally persistent, can be an indicator of fetal disease. Hypertrophic somatostatin islet cells found with intra-uterine growth retardation may correlate with low serum insulin. Thymic involution may mark the degree of stress. Small thyroglobulin stores may limit the premature neonate's initiation of thermogenesis.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
