Zinc supplementation in infants with asymmetric intra uterine growth retardation; effect on growth, nutritional status and leptin secretion.
OBJECTIVES To analyse the effect of zinc supplementation in growth and nutritional status of a homogeneous group of newborns with intra uterine growth retardation and asymmetric growth. The effect of changes of zinc status on growth and leptin serum concentrations was also analysed. POPULATION AND METHODS A double blind, randomised clinical trial was designed in order to detect differences in...
متن کاملChildren born with intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR) or small for gestational age (SGA): long term growth and metabolic consequences.
Intra Uterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) refers to insufficient fetal growth diagnosed either by two direct intrauterine growth assessment (ultra-sonography) or when the fetus or newborn length (height) is less than two standard deviations (or third percentile) below the mean for gestational age (NIKLASSON et. al. 1991; DE ZEGLER 1997). When the fetus or newborn body size (wight or length) is in...
متن کاملAssessment of intra-uterine growth retardation by fetal magnetocardiography
Fetal magnetocardiography allows the noninvasive registration of the prenatal cardiac electrophysiological signal. The good signal-to-noise characteristics of most biomagnetometers combined with adequate signal processing techniques generally permit the identification of the fetal deand repolarization onsets and offsets to an accuracy of 1 ms. The P wave, QRS complex and sometimes the T wave ca...
متن کاملSmoking, intra-uterine growth retardation and sudden infant death syndrome.
BACKGROUND Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is associated with factors such as maternal smoking and low birthweight, which may be linked causally. Recent pathological studies have shown evidence for growth retardation at organ level in SIDS infants whose weights at birth were above the tenth centile, and were not therefore recognized as growth retarded clinically. It might be of value to ide...
متن کاملEffect of N-acetylcysteine on lipopolysaccharide-induced intra-uterine fetal death and intra-uterine growth retardation in mice.
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been associated with adverse developmental outcome, including embryonic resorption, intra-uterine fetal death (IUFD), intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR), and preterm delivery. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been associated with LPS-induced developmental toxicity. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a glutathione (GSH) precursor and direct antioxidant. The present stu...
