Length and Head Circumference at Birth: Associations with Birth Outcome and Morbidity in Macrosomic Finnish Infants

بررسی ارتباط غلطت روی پلاسما ی بند ناف با اندازه های آنترو پو متریک در نوزادان

Background and purpose: Low birth weight (LBW) is a key determinant of infant morbidity and mortality. Zinc deficiency during pregnancy may have unfavorable effect on pregnancy outcome, particularly low birth weight. The aim of this study was to determine the association between infant anthropometric characteristic and cord blood plasma zinc level. Materials and methods: This study included 26...

Associations of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain with birth outcomes in Shanghai, China

Recent data suggests that abnormal maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) or gestational weight gain (GWG) is associated with unfavorable delivery outcomes. However, limited clinical evidence is available to support this correlation in China. Participating 510 mother-infant pairs were recruited from the Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital, China, between January 1st and 30th 2016...

Variation at the insulin gene VNTR (variable number tandem repeat) polymorphism and early growth: studies in a large Finnish birth cohort.

Variation at the insulin gene (INS-)VNTR (variable number of tandem repeats) minisatellite polymorphism has been reported to be associated with both early growth and adult metabolic phenotypes. However, the samples studied have been small and the relationship between INS-VNTR variation and parameters of early growth inconsistent, with four previous studies producing conflicting results. We have...

Long-term enteral glutamine supplementation in very low birth weight infants: effects on growth parameters.

Enteral and parenteral glutamine supplementation in preterm infants has been shown to have some beneficial effects on neonatal morbidity and mortality, although the results are controversial. In this study, we aimed to determine if long-term glutamine-supplemented enteral nutrition affects growth parameters in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) preterm infants. Preterm infants with a birth weight of ...
