BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION: Birth Asphyxia (Perinatal Asphyxia) in newborn is a condition caused by the inadequate supply of oxygen before, during, or just after birth. Kidney most damaged organ asphyxiated full-term infants. Theophylline considered to be effective as adenosine antagonist reducing renal injury related birth asphyxia OBJECTIVE: To determine mean serum creatinine and glomerular filt...

The process of birth (parturition) has a critical impact on normal human development. Any deviations from the typical parturition process are defined clinically as birth complications, and have been linked to the development of neurological deficits. Two relatively common types of consequences from birth complications are perinatal asphyxia and Caesarean Section delivery (C-section); however, C...

BACKGROUND Asphyxia is a medical condition in which placental or pulmonary gas exchange is impaired or they cease all together, typically producing a combination of progressive hypoxemia and hypercapnea. OBJECTIVE In addition to regional differences in its etiology; it is important to know its risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a case-control study, all neonates born from May 2002 ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the risk factors and outcomes of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in infants with a birth weight of 1,501-2,000 g. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical characteristics and risk factors were compared and nonconditional logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent predictors for ROP. RESULTS There were 54 (9.8%) cases of ROP in 553 patients with a birth...

Objective: determine the neonatal outcome in patients with meconium stained liquor. Setting: Gynaecology Deptt, Unit-III, Jinnah Hospital, Lahore. Methodology: In this study we included a total of 150 cases singleton pregnancy (on USG), Cephalic presentation Gestational age 37 completed weeks to 42 (calculated from LMP) liquor observed during labour by attending doctor whereas those breech pres...

The objective of the present study was to test the hypothesis that parturition duration is related to birth asphyxia in lambs and that asphyxia affects newborn lamb viability and vigor. Two sire and dam genotypes (Texel: TX; Polwarth: PW) and their crosses were represented in the study. Eighty lambs (25 PW sire × PW dam, 13 TX × TX, 25 TX × PW, and 17 PW × TX) born to 69 grazing ewes were used....

Background: During the past two decades there has been a sustained decline in child mortality; however, neonatal mortality has remained stagnant. Each year approximately 4 million babies are born asphyxiated resulting in 2 million neonatal deaths and intrapartum stillbirths. Almost all neonatal deaths occur in developing countries, where the majority is delivered at homes with negligible antena...

Abstract Background Birth asphyxia is one of the leading causes intrapartum stillbirth and neonatal mortality worldwide. We sought to explore experiences health care workers in managing foetal distress birth gain an understanding challenges a low-income setting. Methods conducted in-depth interviews with 12 midwives 4 doctors working maternity units from different facilities Northern Uganda 201...
