OBJECTIVE To compare the incidence of diagnosis and morbidity in newborns who were screened with newborns who were not screened for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. PATIENTS An unscreened population in Arkansas and Oklahoma (n = 400118) was compared with a screened population in Texas (n = 1613378) during a 5...

BACKGROUND Scaling up neonatal care facilities in developing countries can improve survival of newborns. Recently, the only tertiary neonatal care facility in Suriname transitioned to a modern environment in which interventions to improve intensive care were performed. This study evaluates impact of this transition on referral pattern and outcomes of newborns. METHODS A retrospective chart st...

background: today there is a rise in the number of newborns conceived by artificial reproductive techniques (art). numerous studies have been performed on the perinatal outcome of these pregnancies. however, there is limited data about the condition of health of these newborns in iran. objective: regarding the higher prevalence of probable complications and symptomatic congenital anomalies, we ...

Newborn infants prefer faces to all other visual displays. All previous studies of face recognition in newborns used schematic faces, photographs or static real faces. In our study, we used video films to explore, for the first time, recognition of talking faces, in newborns. Our results suggest that video films of talking faces are very salient stimuli for newborns and can enhance face recogni...

Hussy Paul (Zbl. F. Gyn. No. 1, 1933) within a short period of time observed three cases liver hematomas in newborns, not having met them earlier, despite the fundamental dissection all corpses newborns without exception. In two cases, mothers were elderly primiparas.

Total fats, phospholipids, cholesterol, neutral fat and total water content have been determined in newborns of alloxan-diabetic rats and in control newborns. The newborns were divided into two groups: one with overweight newborns ( > 5.30 gm.), the second with mainly average and abnormally small newborns ( < 5.30 gm.). The overweight newborns of alloxan diabetic rats showed higher neutral fat ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of stage III of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) among newborns of birth weight < 1500 g and gestational age (GA) < or = 32 weeks, and to compare these prevalences during two time periods (1998-2002 and 2003-2007). The investigation was conducted at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, University Hospital in Rijeka, Croatia. The scree...

conclusion the incidence of rop is relatively high in this region. risk factors for rop among very premature infants include hypoxia, severe hyperoxia, relatively low blood spo2, gestational age, birth weight, and apgar score. results the incidence of rop was 26.2%. significant differences between the rop and control groups were observed, these include; gestational age, sex, birth weight, apgar...

Neonatal guinea pigs during the first 2 weeks of life did not indicate the presence of delayed hypersensitivity intradermally, after sensitization with purified soluble antigens in dose levels that induced detectable delayed hypersensitivity in the skin of adults. Although Arthus type allergy was detectable in newborns, circulating antibody frequently preceded its appearance by several days. Pa...

The relationship between the concentration of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and the number of proliferating/apoptotic lymphocytes in peripheral blood of premature newborns of different gestation age and full-term newborns was determined. The experiments were performed using fluorescent spectrophotometry (with Hoechst 33342), flow cytometry, and microscopy (Feulgen staining of lymphocytes). It was deter...
