Assessing neonatal size reliably is important for research and clinical practice. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability of routine clinical measurements of neonatal circumferences and of skinfold thicknesses assessed for research purposes. All measurements were undertaken on the same population of neonates born in a large maternity unit in Bradford, UK. Technical error of measure...

Birth Asphyxia is considered to be one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality around the world. Asphyxiated neonates require skilled resuscitation to survive the neonatal period. The project aims to train health professionals in a basic newborn care using a prototype with an ultimate objective to have one person at every delivery trained in neonatal resuscitation. This prototype will be a ...

BACKGROUND Neonatal inspiratory stridor is an important examination finding that requires immediate and adequate evaluation of the underlying etiology. Depending on the severity of the airway obstruction and the presence or absence of associated symptoms such as respiratory distress and feeding problems, early initiation of a complete diagnostic workup can be crucial. The most common cause of n...

conclusions acute suppurative parotitis should be suspected in infants with fever, and irritability in pre-auricular region; and should be treated with appropriate antibiotics. case presentation a 32-day-old girl with fever and restlessness was admitted in the hospital. left facial swelling was found during physical examination. redness was observed in the face. prenatal history was normal. bir...

Introduction With technological advances in ultrasound, the quality of imaging is becoming equivalent to MRI. MRI at present is still considered the gold standard for imaging the neonatal spine in infants with spina bifida aperta, post spinal surgery and with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) excreting lesions. There is a high risk of infection in these conditions, which is a major contraindication for...

Background: Neonatal thrombotic diseases can cause mortality or serious morbidity and disability.Case report: In this report, we present a case of neonatal inferior vena cava thromboembolism with several underlyingfactors. Hereditary thrombophilia and genetic mutation in plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and MTHFR A1298C genesin conjunction with cleft palate resulted in poor l...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to delineate the etiologic profile and neurodevelopmental outcome of neonatal seizures in the current era of neonatal intensive care and to identify predictors of neurodevelopmental outcome in survivors. METHODS Eighty-nine term infants with clinical neonatal seizures underwent neurologic examination, electroencephalography (EEG), neuroimaging, and...
