The acoustic analysis of infant cry is used to deduce information on the state of health of new-born babies as well as of children a few weeks old. Crying is the first tool of communication for an infant. These cries seem to be uniform, but there are a lot of differences between two infant‟s cries. Infant cry characteristics reflect the development and possibly the integrity of the central nerv...

Nasal gliomas are uncommon tumours of neurogenic origin that occur sporadically. They are diagnosed with MRI and a preoperative biopsy, and surgery is the treatment of choice. Most of the gliomas emerge from the nasal cavity, but only a few cases of nasopharyngeal gliomas have been reported. We present one case of a nasopharyngeal glioma and two cases of nasal gliomas.

I was called on to see a newly-born female child on 29th June, 1942, who did not pass urine since her birth on the 24th. On examination the vulva was found much congested; thick muco-purulent discharge could be noticed escaping from the external urethral orifice; and the parts round about the external urethral orifice appeared to be sloughing. Enquiry did not show the mother as suffering from a...

Most of the biometric research being done is for adults and the identification accuracy of new born are least reported in the literatures. In this paper we propose a novel biometric identification method for new born babies using their face and soft biometrics. Accurate patient identification (ID) is essential for patient safety, especially with our smallest and most vulnerable podiatric patien...

among early neonatal deaths in the United Oxford Hospitals was noticed. When compared to an earlier survey in the same hospitals no change in the distribution by birthweight score of the affected infants was seen. The increased incidence of the syndrome coincided with a fall in the perinatal mortality rate. An analysis of the clinical features and pathological findings in the affected infants s...

Paterson' and Hurst and Stewart2 have drawn attention to the small number of cases of duodenal ulcer in infants, and particularly in newborn infants, reported in the literature of this country. The following two examples are recorded, not merely on account of the rarity of the condition, but also because there are points of particiular interest in each case. FiG. 1.-Duodenal ulcer in the new bo...

In May, 1927, a child eleven weeks old was admitted uinder my care iinto the Bristol Royal Infirmary suffering from a chronic ulcer of the stomach. At the autopsy I commented to the pathologist (Dr. A. ]D. Fraser) on the rarity of this condition in my experience, and he replied by showing me a specimen of duodenal ulcer in a child only five days old which he ha(l found at an autopsy not very lo...

I was called in to attend a baby 4 days old suffering from fever. The baby was very restless, with frequent retraction of legs on to the abdomen, and twisting of hands and arms. The mother gave a history of fever 2 days before delivery, but the labour had been normal. The baby had been given a dram of castor oil, and there were 4 motions; it was also given 4 doses of a diaphoretic mixture on th...

The 21(st) century has provided new technical and educational opportunities as well as challenges which have not been approached and exploited sufficiently by traditional scientific journals. Furthermore, case reports are usually "neglected" by traditional journals for a variety of reasons, including limited space in the hardcopy version of the journal issue and priority over original research ...
