Data from a previous study were analysed to develop a new model for neonatal nutritional evaluation which is independent of precise maturity determination. Birth weights and arm/head ratios were recorded for each infant recruited for the study. Both indices were correlated by simple regression analysis with gestational age as the independent variable. Birth weight showed highly significant corr...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this retrospective study was to examine hematologic indices of potential intrauterine hypoxia, including circulating nucleated red blood cells, lymphocytes, and platelets in preterm infants who developed retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) compared with suitable controls. We hypothesized that higher neonatal absolute nucleated red blood cell (ANRBC) and lymphocyte counts and l...

BACKGROUND Adult height has increased around the world, especially in developed countries, probably due to the improvement in life conditions. AIM To assess differences in women's height in two population samples of different socioeconomic status coming from the public and the private health system in Chile, and the influence of the year of birth on height. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data from 5,...

OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to compare early predictive marker of the metabolic syndrome with proopiomelanocortin (POMC) methylation status and to determine the association among birth weight, ponderal index, and cord blood methylation status. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We collected pregnancy outcome data from pregnant women, cord blood samples at delivery, and blood from chi...

We present an revised table of 390 Galactic radio supernova remnants (SNRs) and their basic parameters. Statistical analyses are performed on SNR diameters, ages, spectral indices, heights spherical symmetries. Furthermore, the accuracy distances estimated using $\Sigma$-D relation is examined. The arithmetic mean diameters $30.5$ pc with standard error $1.7$ deviation $25.4$ pc. geometric fact...

Small size at birth is associated with exaggerated blood pressure responses to psychological stressors, which increase the risk of developing sustained hypertension in adult life. Explanatory mechanisms for this association are not well characterized. We investigated the hypothesis that an adverse fetal environment, reflected by small size at birth, persistently alters autonomic nervous system ...

OBJECTIVE To characterise fetal brain growth in children with specific language impairment (SLI). DESIGN A nested case-control study. SETTING Perth, Western Australia. PARTICIPANTS Thirty children meeting criteria for SLI at age 10 years were individually matched with a typically developing comparison child on sex, non-verbal ability, fetal gestational age, maternal age at conception, smo...

Background: We investigated the composition and dynamic changes of vaginal microbiota (VM) in pregnant women who underwent vitro fertilization (IVF), as well VM relation to preterm birth. Methods: Sixteen conceived after IVF 6 naturally were recruited study. Vaginal samples from all participants collected first, second, third trimesters pregnancy (T1, T2 T3, respectively). The V3–V4 region 16S ...
