: Neonatal jaundice (NJ) is one of the most common causes for medical intervention in newborn period. While transitory hyperbilirubinemia (HB) present almost all newborns, detection requires a trained observer and good lighting. Thus, has reported incidence between 60% to more than 90%. Bilirubin, molecule that color jaundice, end product disassembly heme-containing molecules, primarily hemoglo...

Abstract Neonatal thyrotoxicosis is mostly caused by the transplacental passage of maternal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor antibodies (TRAb) to fetus. Although rare and transient, this condition may be associated with significant morbidity mortality if not diagnosed treated in an appropriate timely manner. Anti-thyroid drugs are main therapy. Here, we report a preterm newborn that p...

Kluyvera cryocrescens, formerly accepted as a benign saprophytic microorganism, is an opportunistic pathogen and its infection is very rare in humans. This report describes a preterm infant born at 30 weeks of gestational age and successfully treated for K. cryocrescens sepsis in the 3rd week of life. To our knowledge, this is the first case of K. cryocrescens sepsis in a newborn. The potential...

In general, health care professionals taking care of high risk infants in neonatal intensive care units have become more restrictive in their use of red blood cell transfusion over the past 10 years. The present statement is intended for those caring for high risk newborn infants (preterm to one month of age). The objectives of this statement are to provide guidelines to reduce the incidence of...

the newborn who is born before terms is a candidate for the development of idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome. the intense hypoxia and acidosis that ensue as the consequence of inadequate alveolar-capillary exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxid may prove fatal antenatal steroid therapy can affect rds (respiratory distress syndrom) and its complications. the newborn before 34 weeks have a s...

Preterm birth is defined as a birth prior to 37 completed weeks’ Background: gestation. It affects more than 10% of all births worldwide, and is the leading cause of neonatal mortality in non-anomalous newborns. Even if the preterm newborn survives, there is an increased risk of lifelong morbidity. Despite the magnitude of this public health problem, the etiology of spontaneous preterm birth is...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the extent to which stillbirths affect international comparisons of preterm birth rates in low- and middle-income countries. DESIGN Secondary analysis of a multi-country cross-sectional study. SETTING 29 countries participating in the World Health Organization Multicountry Survey on Maternal and Newborn Health. POPULATION 258 215 singleton deliveries in 286 hospitals...

Introduction: Many interventions have been designed to support the development of preterm baby and minimise complications prematurity. However, there is limited evidence possible psychological benefits touch mother when she one performing programme during hospitalisation her newborn. Objective: This study explored whether type provided neonates had an impact on maternal self-efficacy, self-este...

We postulated that defective generation of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) by cells of newborn infants might underlie their deficiencies in upregulating neutrophil production and function during bacterial infection. To test this, we isolated monocytes from the blood of preterm neonates, term neonates, and adults and, after stimulation with various concentrations of interleukin-1 a...

Preterm newborn infants are vulnerable to a number of problems due to the immaturity of various organ systems. Apnoea of prematurity (AOP) is one such problem, thought to be due to immaturity of the cardiorespiratory centre. Although the underlying pathophysiological mechanism of AOP is not fully understood, there have been concerns that recurrent apnoeic episodes, particularly those accompanie...
