متن کاملEarly neonatal hypocalcaemia.
In our hospital early neonatal hypocalcaemia is now the major cause of low serum calcium in the neonatal period. Over a 2-year period, only 2 cases of hypocalcaemic convulsions were seen in a total of 8700 deliveries, though 51 infants had early neonatal hypocalcaemia. All sick low birth-weight infants should have daily serum calcium estimations carried out. Calcium supplements should be consid...
متن کاملConvulsions and television viewing.
Factors affecting the two-stage equilibration rebreathing procedure for the measurement of mixed venous Pco2 are discussed. The most important practical conclusion is that the volume of gas in the bag should not be more than twice the tidal volume; but the exact ratio is not critical. Suitable equipment is described. Practical problems and variations in technique are described in detail. We are...

The overall virus identification rate was 49%. Analysis of age, sex, family history, and past history showed no marked differences between the virus-positive and the virus-negative children. More than 80% had symptoms of respirator...
