BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Oxygen has a known paramagnetic effect and increases CSF signal intensity on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MR images. The purposes of this study were to investigate the effect of supplemental oxygen on CSF signal intensity and the arterial partial pressure of oxygen and to determine the possible synergistic effect of oxygen and albumin on T1 shortening effec...

purpose: to determine the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (rop) and to evaluate the possible neonatal risk factors for rop among premature infants referred to farabi eye hospital during 2000-2002. methods: newborn infants with gestational age (ga) £ 37 wk or birth weight (bw) £ 2500 g were included. the first eye examination was performed 4-9 weeks after birth. data on possible risk fac...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical effects of regulating umbilical cord clamping in preterm infants. DESIGN A prospective randomised study. SETTING The Queen Mother's Hospital, Glasgow. SUBJECTS 36 vaginally delivered infants over 27 and under 33 weeks' gestation. INTERVENTION Holding the infant 20 cm below the introitus for 30 seconds before clamping the umbilical cord ("regulated" ...

of 100% oxygen during induction and emergence is standard practice for the vast majority of anesthetists, our study reflects the impact of high intraoperative inspired oxygen in actual practice. The use of 100% oxygen for induction and emergence also likely had minimal effect on our results because the degree of atelectasis induced by administration of 100% oxygen for only a few minutes is rela...

To determine if the use of oxygen in the delivery room influences subsequent global cerebral blood flow (CBF), 70 infants of gestational age of less than 33 completed weeks were randomly assigned to receive room air (group I) or 80% oxygen (group II) during the initial stabilisation at birth. In group I supplemental oxygen was administered on clinical indications, when required. After being adm...

The outpatient and inpatient management of most children with viral bronchiolitis has remained essentially unchanged for decades. Clinicians continue to carefully assess a child’s overall work of breathing, oxygen requirements, hydration status, risk of complications, and illness trajectory. They then provide supportive care as needed with supplemental oxygen, intravenous fluids, positive airwa...

abstractthe valves of right horn of systemic venous sinus are prominent structures within the right atrium during early embryonic period. involution of these structures may not be complete, resulting in a spectrum of anatomical presentations such as cyanosis. a full-term male neonate referred to our hospital for precise evaluation of severe cyanosis on the first day of life. echocardiographic e...

Windsor, Jeremy S., and George W. Rodway. Supplemental oxygen and sleep at altitude. High Alt. Med. Biol. 7:307-311, 2006.--The purpose of this study was to examine the effect supplemental oxygen has on the respiratory and cardiovascular system of a mountaineer during sleep at high altitude by using a novel ambulatory, multisensor, continuous monitoring device. Supplemental oxygen was administe...

The importance of corticosteroids in the therapy COVID-19 has been controversial. However, as world develops a better understanding regarding pathophysiology COVID-19, we are realizing that suppressing host immune response may reduce lung inflammation preventing further complications. In addition, more high-quality randomized controlled trials, meta-analysis, and review articles being published...

OBJECTIVE To define reference ranges for oxygen saturation (SpO(2) ) values in healthy full-term infants in the first days of life and in preterm infants off supplemental oxygen as they approach neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge. METHODS From April 2009 to March 2010, we enrolled convenience samples of full-term infants from the newborn nursery and former preterm infants who did n...
