Neonatal screening.
Introduction Though based firmly on the "old fashioned" disease of phenylketonuria, whole population blood based neonatal screening is a technique with many potential uses. Most never enter general service despite their technical feasibility, reflecting mainly the perceived balance between costs and benefits. For historical reasons there is an underlying assumption that neonatal screening shoul...
متن کاملBiochemical measurement of neonatal hypoxia.
Neonatal hypoxia ischemia is characterized by inadequate blood perfusion of a tissue or a systemic lack of oxygen. This condition is thought to cause/exacerbate well documented neonatal disorders including neurological impairment. Decreased adenosine triphosphate production occurs due to a lack of oxidative phosphorylation. To compensate for this energy deprived state molecules containing high ...
متن کاملBiochemical abnormalities in neonatal seizures.
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of biochemical abnormalities accompanying neonatal seizures is important for effective seizure control and to avoid further brain damage. The present study was carried out on 35 neonates to determine the frequency of various biochemical abnormalities in neonatal seizures. Diagnostic evaluation included estimation of levels of serum calcium, phosphorus, ...
متن کاملPreoperative biochemical screening.
Biochemical investigations are carried out before a surgical operation either because a patient's condition indicates the need or to detect clinically inapparent abnormalities that may affect surgical and anaesthetic management. Nobody would argue about the first indication, but there is little agreement on the second. The inexperience of junior staff together with anxiety about litigation may ...
متن کاملNeonatal screening for phenylketonuria.
The case histories are reported of three patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) in whom the initial Guthrie screening for PKU was falsely negative. Possible explanations for this problem are reviewed, as well as the limited cost-effectiveness of general re-testing. Guidelines are suggested to im prove the sensitivity of PKU screening procedures for newborns.
