The neonate receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) therapy requires a physiologically appropriate solution in quantity and quality given according to a timely, cost-effective strategy. Maintaining tissue integrity, metabolism, and growth in a neonate is challenging. To support infant growth and influence subsequent development requires critical timing for nutrition assessment and intervention. Pro...

The concentrations of plasma glucose, insulin, growth hormone, and immunoreactive growth hormone-like substance in subhuman primate fetal and maternal plasma were examined after the intravascular administration of glucose, arginine, or tolbutamide to the fetus. Cannulation of interplacental vessels permitted studies on the fetus in utero without disruption of fetal-placental-maternal anatomic i...

We describe the effect on the neonate of administration of rituximab to a woman with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Rituximab, an anti-CD20 antibody, was given weekly for 4 weeks to a woman with ITP in her third trimester of pregnancy. One month after the last rituximab administration a healthy girl was born. She had normal growth and development during the first six months. At birt...

Raising dairy heifers from birth to calving has been found to comprise the second largest expense on the dairy farm towards the production of milk (Heinrichs, 1993) and therefore require a reasonably high level of attention on a commercial dairy farm. The focus of this paper will be feedstuffs, in particular limiting forages for the development of the rumen in the neonate, as well as a possible...

Preterm neonatal care is important aspect of parenting. The main objective this study to find out the predictors Posttraumatic growth among primary caregivers newborn babies affected with hyperbilirubinemia. In preterm hyperbilirubinemia were studied posttraumatic growth. sample 300 parents was collected. results found that diverse variables such as coping skills, personality traits and parenta...

BACKGROUND Neonatal bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis is rare and often results in devastating visual outcome. FINDINGS An 18-day-old neonate presented with whitening of the cornea in the left eye. The child was examined under anesthesia, and a diagnosis of bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis was made. Vitreous biopsy from the left eye showed no growth. Blood samples showed growth of Stap...

Fetal growth restriction is an important pregnancy complication that has major consequences for the fetus and neonate as well as an increased risk of long-term morbidity extending into adulthood. The precise aetiology of most cases of fetal growth restriction is unknown although placental thrombosis is a common feature in many of these cases. This paper will outline the potential role of proteo...

(1) Explants of renal cortex from 7-day mice or 5-day rats were reared on plasma clots, in the presence or absence of chick embryo metanephros. (2) The size of outgrowth, estimated after 48 h, was similar for renal cortex of both species. When reared in chick embryo extract in the presence or absence of metanephros, the outgrowth estimated after 48 h was 2-08 ±0-092 greater than that of the ini...
