ENDOCRINOLOGY: THE URINARY 11-OXYGENATION INDEX DURING CHILDHOOD+

Myopic Shift during Hyperbaric Oxygenation Attributed to Lens Index Changes.

PURPOSE To examine ocular lens parameters and structural changes to elucidate mechanisms underlying the myopic shift and cataract-related changes that occur in some patients during hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. METHODS Scheimpflug images (Nidek EAS-1000) of the crystalline lens, measurements of scattered light, objective refraction, keratometry, tonometry, and axial length of the eye were ...

Validity of Spo2 in Measuring of Oxygenation Index

Background Pulse-oximetry (Spo2) widely uses as a help tools for therapeutic interventions in the pediatric intensive care units (PICU). The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of Spo2 in measuring of oxygenation index (OI) in children. Materials and Methods In a descriptive analytical study, 100 patients who were admitted to PICU Tabriz Children's Hospital were studied. Oxygenation ...

[Urinary infection in childhood].

It is now widely recognized not only that urinary infection in childhood is a common and recurrent condition, but also that symptomatic improvement of the acute episode, whether spontaneous or after a short course of chemotherapy, may be followed by persistent asymptomatic infection (Kass, 1956; Kunin et al., 1964; Dunn et al., 1964). It is also accepted that infection of the urinary tract in c...

Cerebral tissue oxygenation index and SIDS.

In this issue of Pediatrics, Fyfe et al present convincing evidence that cerebral tissue oxygenation index (TOI) is lower in habitually supinesleeping preterm infants placed prone rather than supine, and that the cerebral TOI for preterm infants placed prone is lower than the TOI for term infants placed prone. Increased rates of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) among all infants sleeping pro...
