متن کاملRenal vasodilatory action of arginine vasopressin in extremely low birth weight infants.
In extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants, systemic hypotension is associated with poor neurological outcomes as a result of cerebral hypoperfusion. Treatment with arginine vasopressin (AVP) has been shown to increase blood pressure (BP) and urine output in ELBW infants suffering from refractory hypotension. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether low doses of AVP increased renal bl...
متن کاملDefective neutrophil function in low-birth-weight, premature infants.
A whole-blood technique was used to measure simultaneously neutrophil migration, uptake, and killing of candida in 27 premature infants of low birth weight (less than 1500 g). Neutrophil migration was consistently reduced, especially in the first two weeks of life. Phagocytosis was also reduced, particularly in the first week of life and in sick patients. Killing was usually normal, except in s...
