DRKS00004589 What is Known: • According to existing literature, LISA-treated infants seem to have some favors in terms of treatment and outcome data. Observational studies in routine clinical setting are missing. What is New: • Data of 407 VLBW infants collected in routine clinical setting showed that LISA-treated infants needed less mechanical ventilation and fewer days with supplemental oxygen and less analgesics and sedatives. A reduced risk of BPD could be showed. SGA infants seem to have higher risks of LISA failure.

Research strongly supports the use of standardized assessment methods, like structured interviews, to evaluate applicants. Many practitioners, however, continue to prefer unstructured and intuition-based approaches to employee selection. Nonstandardized assessment methods compromise the reliability and predictive validity of employeeselection systems and expose the hiring process to the idiosyncratic beliefs and biases of decision makers. To better understand practitioners' beliefs about decision making for employee selection, this study examines (a) the effects of standardization on the perceived usefulness of assessment methods for evaluating applicants fit with the job (person-job [PJ] fit) and the organization (person-organization [PO] fit); (b) the effects of work proximity on beliefs about the importance of evaluating PJ and PO fit for employee selection; and (c) beliefs about the work-related outcomes that are influenced by PJ and PO fit. Study results provide insight concerning how, when, and why those who make hiring decisions believe these forms of compatibility should be evaluated during employee selection. Suggestions for how this information may be used to help consulting psychologists design employee-selection systems that are more attractive to use, yet retain the predictive validity and legal defensibility of traditional standardized approaches, are offered.

In our study, late preterm infants in the first days of life did not benefit significantly from analgesia with glucose during oropharyngeal suctioning. The oral administration of glucose under nasal CPAP led to no serious adverse events.
