the site of the placenta. Administration ofanti-D immunoglobulin is routine after invasive procedures in Rh negative patients but is not appropriate for those already sensitised, in whom it would be ineffective.'5 In patients undergoing intra-uterine transfusions, however, fetomaternal haemorrhage may enhance maternal sensitisation. Not only might the disease be worsened in a subsequent pregnan...
متن کاملRinne test: does the tuning fork position affect the sound amplitude at the ear?
BACKGROUND Guidelines and text-book descriptions of the Rinne test advise orienting the tuning fork tines in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the external auditory canal (EAC), presumably to maximise the amplitude of the air conducted sound signal at the ear. Whether the orientation of the tuning fork tines affects the amplitude of the sound signal at the ear in clinical practice has not ...
متن کاملRinne revisited: steel versus aluminum tuning forks.

متن کاملSensitivity And Specificity Of Procalcitonin In Diagnosis Of Neonatal Sepsis
Background and Objective: According to the fact that neonatal infection is a challenging diagnosis field, several studies have tried to test sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests. This study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of procalcitonin (PCT) as a single early marker of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods: In this study, 150 neonates admitted to NIC...
