Thrombotic events are very unusual in neonatal period. This congenital anomaly may be caused by certain risk factors such as polycythemia, perinatal asphyxia, septicemia, maternal diabetes, dehydration, and low cardiac output, or it may occur upon catheterization of central lines. A 20-day-old neonate was referred to our ward with primary signs of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP). Echocardiog...

The treatment of experimental schistosomiasis with a combination of oxamniquine and praziquantel. Use of praziquantel in patients with schistosomiasis mansoni previously treated with oxamniquine and/or hycanthone: resistance of Schistosoma mansoni to schistoso-micidal agents. Clostridium difficile and its toxin in healthy neonates Clostridium difficile and its associated toxin are related to ps...

OBJECTIVE To describe neonatal outcomes and explore variation in delivery of care for infants born late (34-36  weeks) and moderately (32-33 weeks) preterm (LMPT). DESIGN/SETTING Prospective population-based study comprising births in four major maternity centres, one midwifery-led unit and at home between September 2009 and December 2010.

conclusions: in neonates and infants with primary diagnosis of sepsis, hsv infection should be considered especially if the clinical condition does not improve after 48 hours of antibiotic therapy, and sepsis still exists with elevated liver enzymes. results: among 150 neonates and infants younger than 3 months old with sepsis, the pcr results for detecting the hsv dna, were positive in 6 sampl...

Objective: High quality hospital care for sick neonates, infants and older children are not readily available is highly demanding in low- middle income countries. It results high childhood mortality resource- limited settings. We hypothesize that interventions the form of creation separate pediatric emergency can prevent in-patient mortality. Methods: The intervention initiatives undertaken wer...

BACKGROUND Continuous electronic fetal heart rate monitoring in labour is widely used but its potential for improving fetal and neonatal outcomes has not been realised. The most likely reason is the difficulty of interpreting the fetal heart rate trace correctly during labour. Computerised interpretation of the fetal heart rate and intelligent decision-support has the potential to deliver this ...
