Neonatology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab works to clarify the pathophysiology of the tiny lives in the NICU and to advance neonatal medicine.
AboutAbout the lab
Unraveling the pathophysiology of the smallest lives.
The lab is an endowed division within the Department of Developmental Pediatrics.
It aims to protect and further develop Japan's perinatal medicine, which boasts world-leading clinical outcomes.
While pursuing the intellectual appeal of neonatology as an academic discipline, the lab trains neonatologists through an advanced specialist training program.
Key terms
- Preterm infant
- A baby born earlier than the due date (before 37 weeks of pregnancy).
- Intrauterine growth restriction
- Delayed growth of a baby inside the mother's womb.
- NICU
- Neonatal intensive care unit. It treats preterm babies and sick babies.
ResearchResearch themes
Survival outcomes for preterm infants and infants with intrauterine growth restriction have improved greatly, but their developmental outcomes are still not sufficient. Believing that part of the cause is an insufficient understanding of the pathophysiology, the lab conducts research to clarify it. The subjects of the research are the tiny lives receiving intensive care in the NICU.
*Illustrative imageEndocrinology and Metabolism in Preterm Infants
The lab aims to clarify the endocrine and metabolic characteristics of fetal growth and, based on them, to establish appropriate methods of managing preterm infants.
*Illustrative imageAdaptive Responses in Infants with Intrauterine Growth Restriction
The poor outcomes of babies born with intrauterine growth restriction are thought to arise because the adaptive responses the fetus makes in order to survive adversely affect later growth and development. The lab aims to understand these adaptive responses more deeply and to develop therapeutic interventions.
