The adrenal hemorrhage is a relatively rare event in newborns but must be considered in the presence of a persistent unexplained jaundice, especially in presence of predisposing factors. Serial ultrasonography is the modality of choice for initial diagnosis and follow-up of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage. We report two cases of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage presenting with persistent jaundice. The c...

BACKGROUND Exposure to tobacco smoke during pregnancy, whether as active smoking or by exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS), is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes including low birth weight (LBW) and small for gestational age infants due to the effect of tobacco on the anthropometric measurements of the newborn. This effect might be masked by maternal obesity as it increases fetal weight....

We sought to determine risk factors associated with fetal macrosomia and to explore the long-term consequence of infant macrosomia at the age of 7 years. A prospective population based cohort study was designed to examine the associations between maternal and perinatal characteristics and the risk of macrosomia. A nested case-control study was conducted to explore the long-term health consequen...

OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether, among women with gestational diabetes mellitus, referral to a telephonic nurse management program was associated with lower risk of macrosomia and increased postpartum glucose testing. STUDY DESIGN There was medical center-level variation in the percent of patients referred to a telephonic nurse management program at 12 Kaiser Permanente medical cente...

METHODS It was a retrospective survey of maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcome of macrosomic births....

The aim of the study was to determine the values of insulin, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and glucose in the umbilical cord blood of macrosomic (> or = 4000 g) and control (3,000-3,500 g) infants born to healthy mothers, and to assess their possible correlation with the newborns' birth weight and maternal anthropometric parameters. A series of 207 macrosomic term infants, and 200 contro...

BACKGROUND Excessive weight gain during pregnancy is a major risk factor for macrosomia (high birth weight delivery). This study aimed to explore views about weight gain and lifestyle practices during pregnancy among women with a history of macrosomia. METHODS A qualitative descriptive study was conducted. Twenty-one second-time mothers whose first infant was macrosomic (>4 kg) were recruited...
