Normal values for mature and immature neutrophils in very preterm babies.
Serial leucocyte counts were made on 24 babies of less than 33 weeks' gestation during the first 5 days of life. The values for mature neutrophils show two important differences from those obtained by previous workers studying term babies, in that the counts were much lower on the first day of life and showed a wider range of values at all ages. In contrast, immature neutrophil counts, expresse...
متن کاملNormal values for urinary N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase excretion in preterm and term babies.
Urinary N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG) excretion was measured in 14 healthy, preterm, male neonates with gestational ages between 32 and 35 weeks. Daily NAG excretion increased significantly during the first four weeks of life. No correlation was observed between urinary NAG:creatinine ratio and postnatal age regardless of whether measurements were taken from the whole 24 hour urine collec...
متن کاملIs intensive care for very immature babies justified?
UNLABELLED Neonatal intensive care is generally considered justified in the majority of very premature infants, but there is some concern about the effectiveness of the techniques used at the margins of viability (22-24 wk of gestation). The controversy that exists in this area is largely due to a lack of agreed endpoints for geographically based populations where all live births are considered...
متن کاملNormal faecal porphyrin values in babies.
Normal faeces contain both coproporphyrin and protoporphyrin in very small quantities. These arise in part as by-products from haem synthesis which are excreted via the bile into the gut, in part from degradation of ingested haem, and possibly also in part by bacterial synthesis in the intestine. In adults normal values (Barnes, 1957) are: coproporphyrin, 0-15 ug. per g. dry weight; and protopo...
متن کاملEvaluation of growth in very low birth weight preterm babies.
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate physical growth of very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm babies at a mean age of three years and to investigate the factors which affected growth. MATERIAL AND METHODS The factors including maternal problems, prenatal problems, early neonatal problems, nutrition, familial socioeconomical status and presence of chronic disease which affected catch-up gr...
