Neonatal brainstem dysfunction risks infant social engagement
The role of the brainstem in mediating social signaling in phylogenetic ancestral organisms has been demonstrated. Evidence for its involvement in social engagement in human infants may deepen the understanding of the evolutionary pathway of humans as social beings. In this longitudinal study, neonatal brainstem functioning was measured by auditory brainstem-evoked responses (ABRs) in 125 healt...
متن کاملComplete Laryngotracheal Separation Following Attempted Hanging
Laryngotracheal separation (LTS) is the most immediately life-threatening airway injury. LTS is so rare that very few otolaryngologists have experience with it. LTS is one of the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in airway diseases and its management remains to be established. We experienced a patient with complete LTS after attempted hanging. A high index of suspicion, adequate imaging, pr...
متن کاملImprovement of tracheal flap method for laryngotracheal separation.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Recurrent pneumonia due to intractable aspiration is a life-threatening disease. A tracheal flap method for children without previous tracheostomy has been previously reported. This study reports that improvements of this method and its three subtypes are widely applicable to patients with various conditions. STUDY DESIGN Surgical technique study. METHODS The tracheal ...
متن کاملNeonatal auditory brainstem response cannot reliably diagnose brainstem death.
In two newborn infants who had experienced severe asphyxial insults, and who showed noticeable signs of brainstem dysfunction, all components of the auditory brainstem response except the eighth nerve potential became undetectable. Both babies survived, their brainstem responses returned, and one of them is judged to be developmentally normal at the age of 18 months. Clinical signs of brainstem...
متن کاملLaryngotracheal reconstruction in total laryngotracheal transection.
A case of laryngotracheal trauma (LTT) was brought to hospital in emergency. After securing airway, neck was explored and total laryngotracheal separation together with crushed anterior and posterior tracheal walls was found. Cricotracheal anastomosis and anterior tracheal wall was repaired with perichondrium lined rib graft. Recovery was good, required dilatation once without any serious posto...
