Evidence from several studies has shown that the penile length varies among different populations of racial/ethnic groups. Size abnormalities newborn external genitalia may be a pointer to some endocrine and genetic disorders. In this study we have prospectively measured stretched all newborns at our hospital in an attempt define normative data for full term neonates region. All live male born ...

We report a case study of a term neonate presenting with oxygen desaturation without respiratory distress or acidosis, despite receiving 100% oxygen through a nasal cannula. Echocardiogram showed evidence of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). She was successfully treated with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) via nasal cannula without requiring mechanical ventilation. In a term n...

The aim of this study was to determine complication of neonatal meningitis due to streptococcus group B in full-term and near-full-term newborns in a tertiary-level neonate intensive care unit.

E. Kitamura Y. Miki M. Kawai H. Itoh S. Yura N. Mori K. Sugimura K. Togashi BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The anterior pituitary of a term neonate is usually hyperintense on T1-weighted MR images, which may represent histologic changes of the gland due to the effect of high estrogen levels during the fetal period; however, MR findings of a preterm neonate have not been fully evaluated. The purpose of...

When faced with a preterm delivery of an extremely premature neonate between 22-24 weeks (EPRN), doctors are confronted by a three-fold uncertainty of age, viability and prognosis that influence their decision whether or not to resuscitate the neonate. Firstly, in the delivery room the preterm neonate’s age is seldom precisely known, and successful resuscitation depends on the neonate’s accurat...

The results of several clinical trials suggest that infants born depressed can be successfully resuscitated with room air. In 2010, the American Heart Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, Neonatal Resuscitation Program, and the International Liaison Committee published new guidelines to initiate the resuscitation of the term neonate with 21% oxygen. Although this recommendation cannot b...

Urinary ascites from bladder perforation in neonate is a rare event reported to occur more commonly following umbilical artery catheterization. Other causes include bladder perforations in neonates with bladder abnormalities, following bladder instrumentation or idiopathic bladder perforations. The present manuscript describes a full-term female neonate with spontaneous bladder perforation who ...

Care of the high-risk neonate usually refers to the low-birth-weight infant or the sick term newborn. Whereas hyperbilirubinemia is certainly a matter of concern in these infants, the decisions that must be made regarding jaundice in the high-risk neonate are, in general, less complex than those that must be made for the healthy full-term infant. For the term and near-term infant, shorter hospi...

nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis are common in both term and premature infants who have had difficult neonatal courses.  multiple factors may contribute and being born from a diabetic mother  is one of them. this case is about a neonate with nephrocalcinosis .she is followed to 9months and remained healthy during a 9 month follow up.
