An adverse outcome is still encountered in 45% of full-term neonates with perinatal asphyxia who are treated with moderate hypothermia. At present pharmacologic therapies are developed to be added to hypothermia. In the present article, these potential neuroprotective interventions are described based on the molecular pathways set in motion during fetal hypoxia and following reoxygenation and r...

BACKGROUND: In the presence of meconium in amniotic fluid, childbirth is usually classified as a high-risk group, which leads to an expansion indications for operative delivery. Also literature there are increase frequency birth child state asphyxia, with premature rupture fluid.
 AIM: The aim this study determine significance influence color fluid and duration anhydrous period on asphyxia...

OBJECTIVE To analyse the trends in stillbirths, neonatal deaths, and cerebral palsy in all infants born in Western Australia from 1967 to 1985. To relate these trends to changes in perinatal care, particularly in relation to avoidance of intrapartum asphyxia in term infants and the increased survival of low birthweight infants. DESIGN Descriptive epidemiological study calculating population r...

Background: Asphyxia is one of the main causes of infant mortality and long-term neurologic complications. This cohort study was aimed to compare the diagnostic value of the hematologic and biochemical factors in prediction of prognosis of asphyxia according to the high prevalence of asphyxia and its complications. Methods: In this cohort with two-year follow up study with availability samplin...

The associations between relationship adjustment and symptoms of depression and anxiety were evaluated in a sample of pregnant married or cohabiting women (N = 113) who were at risk for perinatal depression because of a prior history of major depression. Women completed self-report measures of relationship adjustment, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms monthly during pregnancy and for th...

In this paper we review some of the best available evidence to argue that screening for perinatal depression should be systematically conducted since pregnancy. Our view is organized in ten topics: (1) perinatal depression high prevalence; (2) its potential negative consequences, including maternal, conjugal, foetal, infantile, and child effects; (3) its under-detection and treatment; (4) its s...

AIM This study aimed to investigate the perinatal mortality rate with 37 864 deliveries which occured in two different periods in a single center, to compare the components of perinatal mortality and affecting factors with the results of the study related with perinatal mortality which we conducted in 1999 and to emphasize the precautions directed to reduce mortality rates. MATERIAL AND METHO...

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common consequence of perinatal asphyxia, occurring in upto 56% of these neonates. It is important to recognize AKI in asphyxiated neonates to facilitate administration of appropriate fluids and electrolytes in order to improve their outcome. Objectives: To determine the incidence of AKI in asphyxiated neonates and to correlate the severity and type of...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the MR findings of idiopathic pituitary dwarfism correlated with a clinical history of perinatal abnormalities and abnormal levels of pituitary hormones. MR examinations of 18 patients with pituitary dwarfism were performed; these patients were divided into two groups: those with ectopic posterior lobes (group 1) and those with normal posterior...
