Abstract: Intrauterine growth restriction and prematurity determine low birth weight. The combination of the three conditions results in different neonatal phenotypes that interfere with child survival. Neonatal prevalence, survival mortality were estimated according to cohort live births 2021 state Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In this study, multiple pregnancies, congenital anomalies inconsistencie...

The purpose of the study was to investigate an association between maternal and/or fetal complications during pregnancy and/or delivery and the occurrence of baby bottle tooth decay (BBTD) in the infant. The study population comprised 50 mothers of infants with BBTD (BBTD+ mothers): 50 mothers of aged-matched children with similar eating and bottle-use habits but without BBTD (BBTD-) served as ...

The results are reported of a multicenter randomized study of the effectiveness of maternal administration of betamethasone versus ambroxol, a substance of the group of the benzylamines, for prevention of RDS in preterm infants. Women of 27 to 34 weeks gestation with threatened premature delivery or planned premature delivery were admitted to the trial. Between September 1981 and November 1984 ...

Epidemiologists have grouped the multiple disorders that lead to preterm delivery before the 28th week of gestation in a variety of ways. The authors sought to identify characteristics that would help guide how to classify disorders that lead to such preterm delivery. They enrolled 1,006 women who delivered a liveborn singleton infant of less than 28 weeks' gestation at 14 centers in the United...

congenital mullerian abnormalities, particularly the septate uterus, may result in recurrent abortion, premature labor and infertility. the purpose of this study is to report the surgical and reproductive outcome in two groups of patients who underwent hysteroscopic metroplasty (hmp). between aug. 1993 and march 1998,76 women underwent hmp in shiraz university of medical sciences' affiliat...

BACKGROUND Trace elements play important nutritional roles in neonates. Our objective was to examine whether there are differences in maternal/neonatal serum trace element concentrations between mature infants and premature infants. METHODS During 2012, 44 infants born at National Center for Global Health and Medicine, Tokyo, Japan, were enrolled. Serum samples were collected to measure serum...

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the influence of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) on the induction of labor. Material and Method This historical cohort study analyzed 1861 inductions of labor at term using misoprostol which occurred between 2010 and 2015. Exclusion criteria included intrauterine fetal death, previous cesarean section, and fetal structural or chromosomal ano...

Objective Midtrimester preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) has a high rate of neonatal mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to study outcomes of subsequent pregnancies after a pregnancy with PPROM before 27 weeks' gestation. Study Design Retrospective study of subsequent pregnancies of women who suffered PPROM before 27 weeks' gestation from 1994 to 2009. The main outcom...

A controlled trial of betamethasone therapy was carried out in 282 mothers in whom premature delivery threatened or was planned before 37 weeks’ gestation, in the hope of reducing the incidence of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome by accelerating functional maturation of the fetal lung. Two hundred and thirteen mothers were in spontaneous premature labor. When necessary, ethanol or salbuta...
