BACKGROUND It has been suggested that an increase in oxidative stress in individuals with Down syndrome (DS) may cause adverse effects in the cell membranes through the oxidation of polyunsatured fatty acids. METHODS We examined erythrocyte malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in 100 individuals of both sexes (34 males and 66 females) with DS, aged from newborn to 29 years. The cytogenetic analysis r...

متن کاملNeonatal Pulmonary Hemosiderosis
Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare complex entity characterized clinically by acute or recurrent episodes of hemoptysis secondary to diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. The radiographic features are variable, including diffuse alveolar-type infiltrates, and interstitial reticular and micronodular patterns. We describe a 3-week-old infant presenting with hemoptysis and moderate respirat...
