INTRODUCTION Thermal stress becomes larger in the baby than in the adult, when they are exposed in a cold environment (Belghazi et al., 2005). This is because heat exchange in the baby is larger than in the adult due to the larger ratio of body surface area to body mass. Heat transfer form the body is also one of important factors to determine the level of the body heat exchange. Therefore, dis...

INTRODUCTION Cayler cardio-facial syndrome is a rare syndrome associated with asymmetric crying faces with congenital heart disease. We report a newborn that was diagnosed as case of Cayler Cardio-facial syndrome based on clinical features and was confirmed with FISH analysis. CASE PRESENTATION A term male baby, born to non-consanguineous couple through normal vaginal delivery was diagnosed t...

Baby Modula-3 is a small, functional, object-oriented programming language. It is intended as a vehicle for explaining the core of Modula-3, from a biased perspective: Baby Modula-3 includes the main features of Modula-3 related to objects, but not much else. To the theoretician, Baby Modula-3 provides a tractable, concrete example of an objectoriented language, and we use it to study the forma...

The Baby Check score card has been developed to help parents and health professionals grade the severity of acute illness in babies. This paper reports the results of two field trials in which mothers used Baby Check at home, 104 mothers scoring their babies daily for a week and 56 using it for six months. They all found Baby Check easy to use, between 68% and 81% found it useful, and 96% would...

A survey of pesticide residues in 316 baby foods on the Tokyo market from April 1999 to June 2005 was carried out. Fifteen kinds of pesticides, including organophosphorus, organochlorine, carbamate, pyrethroid and others, were detected between at levels Tr (below 0.01 ppm) and 0.55 ppm from 28 samples. The baby foods in which residual pesticides were detected were produced from flour, leaf vege...

The baby-step giant-step algorithm, due to Shanks, may be used to solve the discrete logarithm problem in arbitrary groups. The paper explores a generalisation of this algorithm, where extra baby steps may be computed after carrying out giant steps (thus increasing the giant step size). The paper explores the problem of deciding how many, and when, extra baby steps should be computed so that th...

35 malnourished-looking baby, who has been affected in the last few weeks of pregnancy only, and the short relatively well-proportioned baby with rubella syndrome whose growth was retarded in the first trimester. The long thin baby has a relatively normal number of thin cells whereas the rubella baby has a low cell population in organs throughout his body. l‘hese two situations are not, however...

BACKGROUND Poor retention in HIV care of mother-baby pairs remains a public health challenge in the elimination of mother-to-child transmission (eMTCT) of HIV. We determined the rate of non-retention and time to non-retention of mother-baby pairs and associated factors in Gulu district, Northern Uganda. METHODS Mother-baby pairs enrolled into the eMTCT programme at Gulu Regional Referral Hosp...

Baby-talk words are conventionalized lexical items used in infant-directed speech. According to the Frame/Content theory, the structure of baby-talk words reflects biomechanical constraints on speech production associated with the origin of speech, a hypothesis that yields three predictions — compared to adult vocabulary, baby-talk words should exhibit (1) more canonical CV syllables, (2) more ...

Ethologist Konrad Lorenz defined the baby schema ("Kindchenschema") as a set of infantile physical features, such as round face and big eyes, that is perceived as cute and motivates caretaking behavior in the human, with the evolutionary function of enhancing offspring survival. The neural basis of this fundamental altruistic instinct is not well understood. Prior studies reported a pattern of ...
