Hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia in small for dates babies

Blood glucose concentrations were measured prospectively in 27 small for dates infants in the first 48 hours after birth: 10 infants became hypoglycaemic. Of these, five had inappropriately raised plasma insulin concentrations. Plasma free fatty acids were lower and carbohydrate intake higher in these five infants, further supporting the diagnosis of hyperinsulinism. The hypoglycaemia recurred ...

Mortality rates and neonatal intensive care for very small babies.

Mortality rates of very small babies (those weighing 1500 g or less) born to mothers normally resident in the 11 health districts of the London portion of the North-east Thames Health Region in 1971-73 and 1975-77 were compared with admission rates to neonatal intensive care units in 1972 and 1976 in the region. There was no significant correlation between mortality and admission rates for babi...

Serum immunoglobulin G levels in small-for-dates newborn babies.

Papadatos, C., Papaevangelou, G. J., Alexiou, D., and Mendris, J. (1970). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 45, 570. Serum immunoglobulin G levels in small-for-dates newborn babies. Immunoglobulin G levels have been studied in 47 small-for-dates (SFD) and 197 singieton babies of normal birthweight for their gestational age. The IgG values in the SFD babies were below those expected for the norm...
