Umbilical cord blood gas and acid-base assessment are themost objective determinations of the fetal metabolic condition at the momentof birth. Moderate and severe newborn encephalopathy, respiratory compli-cations, and composite complication scores increase with an umbilicalarterial base deficit of 12–16 mmol/L. Moderate or severe newborn compli-cations occur in 10% of neona...

Artykuł podejmuje problematykę intencjonalności sztuki w świetle przemian jakie dokonały się kontr-intencjonalnej i nie-intencjonalnej fenomenologii. Zmiany sposobie rozumienia wywierały istotny wpływ na refleksję estetyczną, dlatego punktem wyjścia niniejszym artykule jest analiza intencjonalnej fenomenologii Edmunda Husserla, a następnie Jeana-Luca Mariona Michela Henry’ego. Kolejnym etapem p...

Introduction: Perinatal asphyxia, the prime cause for neonatal mortality and morbidity, results in hypoxic damage to almost all organs of the neonate, kidneys being most frequently (50%) affected. However, neonatal renal failure poses diagnostic as well as therapeutic challenge as clinical and laboratory parameters are unpredictable in this age group. Paucity of studies determining the incidenc...

Compressional or traumatic asphyxia is a well recognized entity to most forensic pathologists. The vast majority of reported cases have been accidental. The case reported here describes the apparent inflicted compressional asphyxia of a small child. A review of mechanisms and related controversy regarding proposed mechanisms is discussed.

The current study investigated the effects of L1 and L2 glosses on L2 vocabulary retention in incidental and intentional settings. To this end, 100 intermediate Iranian female learners of English as a foreign language at Soroosh High School were given a pre-test to make sure that they do not have any prior knowledge of the target words. Reading passages with three different glossing conditions ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of asphyxia and hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) and predictors of poor outcome in a hospital in a developing country. METHODS Neonates of birth weight ≥ 2,000 g who required bag-and-mask ventilation and were admitted with a primary diagnosis of asphyxia from January to December 2011 were included. Medical records were retrieved and maternal and infa...

BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major clinical disorder that is characterized by multiple episodes of upper airway obstruction due to the failure of the upper airway dilator muscles to maintain upper airway patency. This results in chronic intermittent asphyxia (CIA) due to repetitive apneas, but very little is known about the effects of CIA on upper airway muscle function. OBJE...

BACKGROUND Vasopressin is one of the most important physiological stress and shock hormones. Copeptin, a stable vasopressin precursor, is a promising sepsis marker in adults. In contrast, its involvement in neonatal diseases remains unknown. The aim of this study was to establish copeptin concentrations in neonates of different stress states such as sepsis, chorioamnionitis and asphyxia. METH...
