A Model of the Respiratory System in the Newborn Infant

A dynamic mathematical model is presented which successfully simulates the respiratory control system of the newborn infant in different physiological conditions. The primary objective in constructing this model has been to provide a simulation aid in the investigation of maturation of the respiratory system, and the respiratory disorders during the newborn period, without the need for invasive...

A Newborn with a Congenital Chylothorax

Congenital chylothorax is an uncommon cause of respiratory distress and a life-threatening condition in newborns. It is identified by abnormal accumulation of chyle in the pleural space. Herein, we report a male infant who was born by a successful vaginal delivery. After the first three days of life, he had feeding difficulties and cyanotic episodes during breastfeeding. On admission, physical ...

PAPILLON-LEFE\'VRE SYNDROME: NEUTROPHIL MOTILITY AND KILLING DEFECT IN A CHILD WITH RECURRENT SEVERE INFECTIONS

A case of palmoplantar hyperkeratosis with periodontosis and a history of recurrent severe pyoderma, pneumonia and multiple liver abscesses is described in a 12 year old girl. The patient demonstrated neutrophil dysfunction characterized by decreased random migration and chemotaxis and defective bactericidal activity. The exact immunopathological mechanism for susceptibility to infections i...
