Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress refers to the imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body's ability to neutralize them with antioxidants. In newborns, especially preterm infants, this balance is particularly fragile due to their immature antioxidant defenses and increased susceptibility to oxidative damage.
This Special Issue aims to focus on the critical role of oxidative stress in pediatric medicine. By highlighting recent advances and ongoing challenges, it aims to enhance our understanding and guide future research and clinical practices related to oxidative stress in the newborn population.
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The impact of oxidative stress on neonatal diseases such as respiratory distress syndrome, retinopathy of prematurity, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
- Mechanisms through which oxidative stress contributes to preterm birth complications and other birth-related issues.
- The role of maternal factors, including prenatal exposure to toxins or inadequate nutrition, in exacerbating oxidative stress in newborns.
- Advances in antioxidant therapies and other preventive measures to mitigate oxidative damage and improve neonatal outcomes.
- Innovative research methodologies and clinical trials focused on understanding and addressing oxidative stress in neonatal populations.
