Glucose and heart surgery: neonates are not just small adults.
DESPITE the many advances in cardiac surgery, neurologic complications continue to be recognized postoperatively. Cognitive deficits appear in about one-half of adults after coronary artery bypass grafting and in as many as one-third of children after neonatal heart surgery. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative episodes of hypoxia-ischemia all seem to contribute to these complication...
متن کاملAmino acids do not suppress proteolysis in premature neonates.
To determine whether increased amino acid availability can reduce proteolysis in premature neonates and to assess the capacity of infants born prematurely to acutely increase the irreversible catabolism of the essential amino acids leucine (via oxidation) and phenylalanine (via hydroxylation to form tyrosine), leucine and phenylalanine kinetics were measured under basal conditions and in respon...
متن کاملAll opinions are not equal.
To the Editor: Gibbons et al1 detail the “noble” and Herculean task of developing American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association cardiovascular guidelines. Recommendations are based on either experimental results or opinion, with the latter being considered of uniformly lower evidentiary importance. The contribution of opinion to the guidelines is substantial in that opinion supports...
متن کاملNot all laboratories are alike.
KLUG et al. [1] have reported observer variability within and between two experienced observers of a number of lung function measurements in preschool children. One of the methods assessed was the measurement of airway resistance by the interrupter technique (Rint). In their laboratory, Rint measurements have high interobserver variability, although no systematic bias. In our laboratory interob...
متن کاملFeeding efficiency of premature neonates.
The purpose of this study was (a) to investigate the validity of the revised Neonatal Oral Motor Assessment Scale (NOMAS) in discriminating between efficient and inefficient feeders in a sample of high-risk premature neonates and (b) to identify significantly different oral motor behaviors in the two groups. The revised NOMAS rates normal and abnormal characteristics of nutritive and nonnutriti...
