An Exploratory Physiological Study of Post-operative Recovery in Surgical Neonates and Dimethylarginine:Arginine Levels
This study looks at babies having tummy surgery soon after birth. We're checking blood levels of two natural substances, Arginine and ADMA, to see if they can help predict how well babies recover and if they have any problems. This could lead to better ways to help babies heal in the future.

Respiratory Muscles and Work of Breathing in Children
This study looks at how well children's breathing muscles work, especially if they have conditions affecting these muscles. We use a special tube to measure muscle strength and how hard they have to work to breathe. This helps doctors understand their breathing problems better and choose the best treatments.
