Early Alteration of Structural and Functional Brain Development in Premature Infants Born with Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Early physiological development of infants with intrauterine growth retardation.

OBJECTIVES To assess the patterns of early postnatal physiological adaptation and maturation in intrauterine growth retarded (IUGR) infants by measuring changes in sleeping deep body temperature, heart rate, and concentrations of urinary cortisol.

Infants Born with Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Renal and Cardiovascular Follow-Up

Comparison of Placental Morphology and Histopathology of Intrauterine Growth Restriction and Normal Infants

Background & Objective: Chronic non healing ulcers or scar undergoing malignant transformation is a rare phenomenon with an estimated incidence of 2%. Though, numerous predisposing factors have been identified, still it is rarely diagnosed and commonly mistaken for a benign condition. The objective of this study was to verify the efficacy of the Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology/ Scrape cytology ...

Thrombocytopenia in preterm infants with intrauterine growth restriction.

Sick preterm infants often have thrombocytopenia at birth, and this is often associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), or birth weights less than the 10th percentile. The pathogenesis of the thrombocytopenia and its importance in IUGR are still unclear. We studied the characteristics of preterm IUGR infants with thrombocytopenia. Twenty-seven singleton Japanese preterm IUGR infant...

Neonatal short-term outcomes in infants with intrauterine growth restriction

OBJECTIVES To assess the neonatal outcomes in newborns with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in a Romanian population in a 3 level maternity unit. METHODS A matched case-control design, with one control for each patient was used. The case group comprised neonates with birth weight and birth length below the 10th percentile for the gestational age. Individual matching by gender and age o...
