Renal tumors in the neonatal period

Peritonitis in the neonatal period.

It has generally been assumed that peritonitis occurs but rarely in newborn infants. In the 1952 Charles West lecture (Moncrieff, 1953) on infection in newborn babies the condition was not mentioned. Thelander, who wrote a classical paper on perforations of the gastro-intestinal tract in newborn infants in 1939, stated that most paediatricians never saw a case, and in 1949 Low, Cooper and Cosby...

Abstract: The new neonatal ventilation methods have been developed along with utilization of new technological tools.This device is synchronized with the patient’s respiratory efforts. The ideal synchronized breath needs to be synchronous with initiation, size, and termination of the breath without delay in detecting of initial resiratory effort by device .The synchrony of respiration contribut...

Desaturation During Cry in the Neonatal Period

Yet it is responsible for most of the surgery in the newborn period and for the most discouraging mortality figures of any of the neonatal surgical entities within reach of therapy. The purpose of this discussion is to provide that perspective which could lead t...
