Asphyxia at birth and schizophrenia

Simplified assessment of asphyxia at birth.

A simplified clinical method of assessment of the baby soon after birth was evaluated and compared with the cord blood pH and 1 min Apgar score. The assessment recorded cry, respiration, colour, activity, reflex response, and cord pulsation. Sixty-two neonates born at term by normal vaginal delivery with 1 min Apgar score of 0-6 (n = 31) and 7-10 (n = 31) were studied. Linear correlation coeffi...

Birth asphyxia and cerebral palsy

resection,2 and in Britain we may well be dealing mostly with patients whose disease has infiltrated into surrounding tissue. The early disease in Japan may be different from that in Britain because the survival in Japanese patients (95%) is so much better than that in British patients (70%) that it cannot be explained purely on the basis of removing more affected nodes-and even RI resection in...

“Risk factors of birth asphyxia”

BACKGROUND Birth asphyxia is an insult to the fetus or newborn due to failure to breath or breathing poorly, leads to decrease oxygen perfusion to various organs. According to WHO, 4 million neonatal deaths occurred each year due to birth asphyxia. Our goal was to evaluate antepartum, intrapartum, and fetal risk factors of birth asphyxia. METHODS It was a Retrospective Case control study, con...

Birth asphyxia, Apgar score and neonatal encephalopathy.

As infant mortality rates decline steadily in South Asia, largely through a fall in post-neonatal mortality, increasing attention is turning to the perinatal period(l). Many studies in this region have demonstrated birth asphyxia to be a major cause of perinatal death(2). However, the contribution of birth asphyxia to the burden of neurodisability in developing country populations is still to b...
