Meningitis, pneumonia, and sepsis in newborns and young infants (age < 60 days) are the main causes of childhood mortality in developing countries. Even though streptococcus pneumonia is the most commonly detected microorganism in pediatric bacterial meningitis, it is rare in newborn infants. The following article reports a case of pneumococcal meningitis that was detected early in a newborn in...

Urinary steroid profile analysis using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) has been reported for the diagnosis of abnormal steroidogenesis in newborn infants with some success. We tried to establish the reference values of 63 urinary steroids in Japanese newborn infant, using GC/MS in selected ion monitoring (SIM) that utilizes two characteristic mass ions for each steroid for definiti...

INTRODUCTION Micropenis may be an important sign of underlying hypogonadism or pituitary hypofunction in the neonatal period. Penile lengths of normal newborns have been reported in many Western populations. However, the data may not be applicable in the Asian or the multiracial Malaysian population. Our study aimed to establish the normal penile length and testicular volume in term newborn inf...

OBJECTIVES To report on the results of a project following term and near term newborn infants who were jaundiced during the neonatal period. METHODS Neonates were referred to the follow-up clinic with weight >/= 2,000 g and/or gestational age >/= 35 weeks, and jaundice at discharge was initially assessed with an Ingram icterometer or Bilicheck and, if indicated, with a Unistat bilirubinometer...

PURPOSE Anogential distance (AGD) and the 2:4 digit length ratio appear to provide a reliable guide to fetal androgen exposure. We intended to investigate the current status of penile size and the relationship between penile length and AGD or digit length according to birth weight in Korean newborn infants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between May 2013 and February 2014, among a total of 78 newborn ...

This investigation is part of a comprehensive effort to determine the degree of vagal function in newborn infants. No particular attention has been given to this problem previously, but in the light of recent experimental work in animals there is a clear indication for such a survey in newborn infants. The presence of an effective vagal mechanism is essential to the life of newborn kittens and ...

INTRODUCTION Prognostic scales or scores are useful for physicians who work in neonatal intensive care units. There are several validated neonatal scores but they are mostly applicable to low birth weight infants. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a mortality prognostic score in newborn infants, that would include new prognostic outcome measures. POPULATION AND METHODS The stu...

BACKGROUND The currently recommended technologies of HPLC and isoelectric focusing for newborn blood spot screening for sickle cell disease (SCD) identify both the disease and carrier states, resulting in large numbers of infants being followed up unnecessarily. Analysis of blood spot tryptic peptides performed by using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is an alternative technology to detect hem...
