Background: The significance of meconium in amniotic fluid is a widely debated subject. Traditionally meconium has been viewed as a harbinger of impending or ongoing fetal compromise; however some investigators believe that it is not associated with fetal hypoxia, acidosis or fetal distress. Others have found lower Apgar scores in meconium stained neonates. Objectives: To study the correlation ...

AIM To compare the outcome of patients with jeuno-ileal atresia (JIA) associated with the intraoperative finding of volvulus of small bowel (group A) with that of JIA without volvulus (group B). MATERIALS AND METHODS It is a retrospective observational study conducted at one of the two units of Pediatric Surgery, in a tertiary care public hospital of India, from January 2001 to December 2010....

Fibrocystic disease of the pancreas was first described by Landsteiner in 1905, and it is of interest, that intestinal obstruction was one of the features of his case. Since then, and particularly in the past two decades, many well authenticated cases have been described. Andersen (1938), described three clinicalsyndromes as being associated with essentially the same pathological lesion in the ...

Purpose: This study was undertaken to assess the relationship between the degree of meconium staining of the extraplacental membranes at birth, meconium aspiration, and pulmonary changes in neonates and stillbirth. Methods: The lungs, extraplacental membranes and placenta from 20 stillborn with meconium-stained membranes and 13 lungs of perinatal deaths were collected and microscopically examin...

Aim To examine the trajectory of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) using data from European Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Society Patient Registry collected 2008 to 2016, hence era before highly effective modulator therapy (HEMT). We evaluated risk factors for FEV1 decline. Methods The study population included patients with a confirmed diagnosis CF recorded ECFPR (2008–2016). evolution FEV1% predi...

Perhaps the most significant changes in airway management over the recent years have been in the management of an infant delivered through meconium- stained amniotic fluid( MSAF). MSAF occurs in approximately 10℅ to 20℅ of all deliveries and increases to over 30℅ in deliveries after 42 weeks gestation. Meconium aspiration syndrome ( MAS) occurs in about 2℅ to 5℅ of these cases with a high morta...
