One-minute and five-minute Apgar scores are good measures to assess the health status of newborns. A score can predict risk some disorders such as asphyxia, encephalopathy, cerebral palsy ADHD. The early prediction before or during birth ranking factors be helpful manage reduce probability producing low scores. Therefore, main aim this study is neonate 5-min for a big national dataset using dat...

Intrauterine fetal demise due to utero-placental insufficiency usually occurs between obstetric evaluations when the gestation is not being actively monitored. Rapid advances in the development of “wearable” physiologic monitors linked to smart phone apps allow us to envision novel methods for evaluating the health of a pregnancy, potentially allowing intervention before fetal death or damage f...

The objective of this study was to analyze factors associated with death and survival with sequelae in neonates after premature rupture of fetal membranes (PROM). An observational historical cohort study analyzed charts of patients with PROM at < or = 34 weeks gestation. The variables were compared with neonatal death and survival with sequelae as the outcomes. In both groups, the data were sub...

conclusions overall, incidence of birth trauma in kashan city was lower in comparison with most studies. considering existing risk factors, further monitoring on labor, and delivery management in teaching hospitals are recommended to prevent birth injuries. in addition, careful supervision on students and residents' training should be applied in teaching hospitals. patients and methods in this ...

Intrapartum continuous electronic fetal heart rate monitoring using a cardiotocograph (CTG) was introduced in the 1960s to identify and respond to intrapartum fetal hypoxia promptly. Unfortunately, CTG was found to have a high false-positive rate of 60% or more. In addition, no significant decrease in the rates of cerebral palsy or perinatal deaths was reported over a 30-year period despite an ...

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), a condition that occurs due to various reasons, is an important cause of fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. It has been defined as a rate of fetal growth that is less than normal in light of the growth potential of that specific infant. Usually, IUGR and small for gestational age (SGA) are used interchangeably in literature, even though there exi...

Observations on mature fetal lambs delivered under chloralose anesthesia showed that variations in arterial blood gas tensions, caused by ventilation with gas mixtures of differing composition, produced considerable changes in regional systemic blood flows measured with a cannulated electromagnetic flowmeter. Partial asphyxia was associated with a rise in arterial pressure and a reduction in fe...
