background: low birth weight (lbw) is one of the major determinants of neonatal survival as well as postnatal morbidity. objective: the main objective of the present study was to determine neonatal mortality rate (nmr) in lbw infants in yazd, iran. materials and methods: in a prospective-cohort study, all births in the maternity hospitals of yazd, iran in 2004 were evaluated and mortality rate ...

despite reduction in infant mortality rate, neonatal mortality rate particularly during the first 24 hours of life is still high in developing countries. a cross-sectional study was performed to determine neonatal mortality prevalence during the first 24 hours of life (f24nm) and its probable risk factors. data collection were performed by a structured form containing maternal and neonatal char...

Moose (Alces alces americanus) populations in many areas along the southern extent of North American moose range, including Minnesota, have experienced decline. Ascertaining neonate health and cause-specific mortality is critical where calf survival low understanding underlying causes population dynamics important. To investigate mortality, we studied 43 calves shortly after parturition during ...
