Randomized Controlled Trial
A new method for the treatment of recurrent abdominal pain of prolonged negative stress origin.
To test the hypothesis that psychological treatment given in combination with somatic treatment can relieve recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) of psychosomatic origin in childhood. ⋯ For children with psychosomatic RAP, a special method for integrated psychological and somatic treatment is probably effective. The results have to be confirmed in a randomized controlled study. These children have a special pattern of TPs related to their disorder, which diminishes with improvement in the disorder.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Oxygenation and ventilation in spontaneously breathing very preterm infants with nasopharyngeal CPAP in the delivery room.
To provide data on ventilation, oxygenation and acid-base state from birth to 48 h in very preterm infants treated with lung recruitment manoeuvre and nasopharyngeal continuous positive airway pressure in the delivery room. ⋯ A transient period of hypercapnia after birth may occur in spontaneously breathing very preterm infants supported with nasopharyngeal continuous positive airway pressure in the delivery room. The incidence of cerebral damage was not increased in infants with hypercapnia.
