THE UREA CLEARANCE OF YOUNG PREMATURE AND FULL TERM INFANTS 12

Plasma 17-ketosteroids of full-term and premature infants.

Diazepam elimination in premature and full term infants, and children.

In recent years a considerable amount of data have been produced on the activity of the microsomal drug metabolizing Systems in the human fetus [10, 16, 17,18, 19, 21, 26, 29, 32]. They all indicate that the various metabolic Systems responsible for drug degradation are already present in the intrauterine life, though their specific activity is in most cases considerably lower than that of adul...

Auditory evoked potentials in premature and full-term infants.

UNLABELLED Accurate information about type, degree, and configuration of hearing loss are necessary for successful audiological early interventions. Auditory brainstem response with tone burst stimuli (TB ABR) and auditory steady-state response (ASSR) exams provide this information. AIM To analyze the clinical applicability of TB ABR and ASSR at 2 kHz in infants, comparing responses in full-t...

Faecal elastase 1 levels in premature and full term infants.

BACKGROUND Determination of faecal elastase 1 (FE1) is a simple, relatively inexpensive, non-invasive, highly specific and sensitive test for determining pancreatic function. Secretion of pancreatic enzymes varies during infancy, but there are almost no specific data on the ontogeny of elastase 1 in human babies. AIM To study FE1 levels in preterm and term babies, and to determine the possibl...

Postnatal physiologic hypercholemia in both premature and full-term infants.

Previous studies have shown that bile salt concentrations in human blood taken from the placenta at birth of term infants are in the range found in adults. A 125I-radioimmunoassay procedure and capillary gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry have been used in this investigation to measure serum bile salt concentrations in premature and normal term infants. It was found that the serum bile...
