At present no clear-cut physiologic/serological parameter exist which enable an early identification of neonates who are at increased risk to develop myocardial dysfunction in perinatal asphyxia. This study was conducted to find out the incidence and features of cardiac dysfunction in perinatal asphyxia The present study was carried out on 48 neonates ,17 healthy neonates were taken as controls...

Esophageal fibrovascular polyps are rare, benign, submucosal tumors of the upper digestive tract that usually have an indolent course until the lesion attains a very large size. The most frequent complaints associated with these tumors include dysphagia and foreign body sensation. However, a long pedunculated polyp can regurgitate into the pharynx or oral cavity and cause asphyxia and sudden de...

Perinatal asphyxia, a naturally and commonly occurring risk factor in birthing, represents one of the major causes of neonatal encephalopathy with long term consequences for infants. Here, degraded spectral and temporal responses to sounds were recorded from neurons in the primary auditory cortex (A1) of adult rats exposed to asphyxia at birth. Response onset latencies and durations were increa...

A harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) exhales and submerges. As water contacts its nostrils, there is a rapid increase in firing of the cardiac vagus nerve and the heart rate drops from 100 to 10 beats per minute. Simultaneously, an alpha-adrenergic peripheral vasoconstriction results in a central shift in oxygen-rich blood volume. The inferior vena cava enlarges to the size of a football. Though card...

As an important freshwater species with economic and ecological benefits, silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) exhibits poor tolerance to hypoxia. Glucose transporters (GLUTs) are core membrane proteins that transport glucose tissues regulate essential life activities. Its expression is regulated by HIF-1α cells in hypoxic conditions maintain energy demand through GLUTs inducing enhanced t...

Abstract Background Traumatic asphyxia, also called masque ecchymotique, Ollivier’s syndrome, and Perthes is a rare but serious form of chest trauma described for the first time by Ollivier in 1837. The purpose this study to report our experience with two cases traumatic asphyxia discuss their management view relevant literature. Results During 6-year period, author treated 2 (crush) local teac...
