Background: The 25-hydroxyvitamin D3(25-OH D3)deficiency is a common problem worldwide, and it is aprevalent incidence in neonates. Different studies investigated the relationship of vitamin D deficiency with neonatal mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and respiratory distress in preterm neonates.Methods: A prospective cohor...

Background: Respiratory distress is considered one of the most frequent causes of admission in the neonatal unit. Additionally, it is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the incidence of neonatal respiratory distress and its causes, risk factors, and outcomes to have a baseline data about the magnitude of respiratory distress with a further step ...

neonatal respiratory distress is a very common problem in our practice. the causes may be respiratory, cardiovascular, central, metabolic, haematological and surgical. the cause of distress due to transient myocardial depression is not very common in mild asphyxia. we present a case having transient myocardial depression with severe respiratory distress and features of shock in a mild asphyxiat...

large preterm infants are generally not considered good candidates for surfactant treatment until they have been intubated for progressing respiratory distress. this study has been done to detect the effect of electively providing early single-dose surfactant to large preterm babies with mild to moderate respiratory distress syndrome (rds). a randomized clinical trial was performed on 45 infant...

acute respiratory distress syndrome (ards) is a potential complication of cardiac surgery, given that patients undergoing cabg frequently have hypoxemia and pulmonary dysfunction during initial hours after surgery. thus, ards criteria in these patients are more likely to be positive while these criteria may not match the patient`s clinical picture. we aimed to investigate frequency of rapid ons...

background respiratory distress syndrome (rds) is considered as one of the most popular prematurity-related respiratory problems and among the most prominent reasons of deaths in preterm infants. objectives brain natriuretic peptide (bnp) is the secret of the volume and pressure overload response of the vessels and decreases due to resistance as well as rises in systemic vessels and also in dec...

Background: Chest radiography is one of the most usual diagnostic tools for respiratory distress. Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess the specificity, sensitivity and clinical value of chest radiography of neonates with respiratory distress.Patients and Methods: A descriptive- analytical study was conducted on 102 neonates that were in neonatal intensive care unit of Imam Reza and...

subglottic hemangiomas are very rare in compare with cutaneous form but can be life-threatening in the proliferating phase of tumor by airway obstruction. it should be considered in any child with recurrent, persistent and/or progressive, inspiratory or biphasic stridor, respiratory distress and feeding difficulties in the first months of life. it should be confirmed by endobronchoscopic evalua...

background and objective: preterm birth is a public health problem and late preterm birth (deliveries between 34-36 weeks of gestation) accounts for 75% of all preterm births. antenatal betamethasone can reduce the severity of respiratory distress in preterm infants and its effect is accepted in 24-34 weeks of gestation. our goal was to determine the neonatal outcomes of betamethasone prescript...
