Objective: To compare the nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) counts of healthy and asphyxiated newborns as a key clinical indicator severity birth asphyxia short-term outcome. Methodology: This case control study was conducted at department neonatology Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital Muzaffargarh from June 2020 to November 2020. Study A total 112 term newborns, including 56 cases (with asphyxia) con...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes in women aged ≥41 years relatively to those aged 21-34. METHODS Approximately 8.5 million records of singleton births in Brazilian hospitals in the period 2004-2009 were investigated. Odds ratios were estimated for preterm and post-term births, for low Apgar scores at 1 min and at 5 min, for asphyxia, for low birth weight, and f...

OBJECTIVE The mechanisms whereby birth asphyxia leads to generation of seizures remain unidentified. To study the possible role of brain pH changes, we used a rodent model that mimics the alterations in systemic CO(2) and O(2) levels during and after intrapartum birth asphyxia. METHODS Neonatal rat pups were exposed for 1 hour to hypercapnia (20% CO(2) in the inhaled gas), hypoxia (9% O(2)), ...

Asphyxia around the time of preterm birth is associated with neurodevelopmental disability. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that blockade of connexin hemichannels would improve recovery of brain activity and reduce cell loss after asphyxia in preterm fetal sheep. Asphyxia was induced by 25 min of complete umbilical cord occlusion in preterm fetal sheep (103-104 d gestational age). Conne...

Despite the important advances in perinatal care in the past decades, asphyxia remains a severe condition leading to significant mortality and morbidity. Perinatal asphyxia has an incidence of 1 to 6 per 1,000 live full-term births, and represents the third most common cause of neonatal death (23%) after preterm birth (28%) and severe infections (26%). Many preconceptional, antepartum and intra...

One of the complications pregnancy which is quite dangerous preeclampsia. Increased blood pressure a major indicator for pregnant women from Various lead to increased risk mortality and morbidity in mother fetus. During birth process, fetus that conceived by with preeclampsia, have higher developing neonatal asphyxia. This study aims was determine preeclampsia on incidence asphyxia dr. Sayidima...

Neonatal mortality is high in Ghana and among the major causes infection is second to preterm birth. The contribution of malaria infection to neonatal mortality desire more rigorous investigation considering the fact that Ghana lies in the high malaria transmission zone. The aim of this study was to determine the adverse effects of placental malaria on neonatal outcomes. This case-control prosp...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of birth asphyxia and short-term (early) outcome in relation to age at admission and place of delivery. METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Paediatric Department, Neonatal Ward of Liaquat University Hospital (LUH) Hyderabad from January to December 2009. All babies were received at our nursery or delivered in LUH with birth asp...
