OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the rate of hypoglycemia in large-for-gestational-age infants of nondiabetic mothers in relation to maternal or neonatal risk factors. STUDY DESIGN Hospital charts of all term large-for-gestational-age infants born between 1994 and 1998 (n = 1136) were analyzed for the rate of neonatal hypoglycemia (capillary glucose level, < or =30 mg/dL...

The newborn gut undergoes rapid colonization by commensal microorganisms and possible exposure to pathogens. contribution of colostrum intake host protection is well known; however, limited research exists on the intestinal innate immunity corresponding during passive immune transfer period in ruminants. aim this study was investigate changes bacterial community expression genes encoding toll-l...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing after stroke has been reported to be between 32% and 71%. However, the first 24-hour period, when upper airway obstruction may have a critical effect on the cerebral circulation because of hemodynamic fluctuations and repetitive hypoxia, has not been studied. Furthermore, data on prediction of upper airway obstruction after str...

MR changes of cerebral ischemia have been shown to occur as early as 1-2 hr after vessel occlusion in experimental models of stroke. However, the MR findings in the early stages of ischemic stroke in the clinical population have not been well established. We studied 41 lesions in 39 patients in whom MR was performed within the first 24 hr after onset of ischemic symptoms. Twenty-five lesions we...
