Background: The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus is rising. Myocardial hypertrophy is the most common cardiac disorder in the infants of diabetic mothers, which hypothetically can cause fatal arrhythmias. This study investigated prolonged QT in the newborns of diabetic mothers in Afzalipour Hospital in Kerman City, in 2015. Methods: This case-contro...

OBJECTIVE To determine the concentration of plasma leptin and other metabolic hormones in offspring of diabetic and none diabetic mothers after 2 weeks of age. The relationship between leptin and metabolic hormones was also investigated. METHODS Included in the study were 79 newborns from the Neonatal Unit at King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from January 20...

Background Infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs) have significantly greater risk for spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, congenital malformations and perinatal mortality and morbidity but whether maternal DM affects the neonatal innate immune system is unknown. We aimed to assess the immune response of infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs) with non-gestational DM for Hepatitis B vaccine and to compare ...

OBJECTIVE To characterize birth size distribution in infants born to mothers with type 1 diabetes. In particular, the relationship between birth weight (BW) and length (BL) was studied because it may provide information on different causal pathways of fetal macrosomia commonly seen in diabetic pregnancies. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a population-based cohort study of 3,705 infants o...

background: infants of diabetic mothers (idm) is a critical issue in pediatrics, which is regarded as a major risk factor for birth trauma, respiratory distress syndrome (rds), birth asphyxia, transient tachypnea of the newborn (ttn) and jaundice. idm is also a risk factor for microvascular (e.g., ocular and renal complications) and macrovascular complications (e.g., cerebrovascular accident, a...

Cord blood serum lipids are much lower than those of adults. Two recent studies of cord blood lipids of infants of diabetic mothers (Pantelakis, Cameron, Davidson, Dunn, Fosbrooke, Lloyd, Malins, and Wolff, 1964; Lloyd, 1963) suggest that certain lipid fractions are higher in these infants than in infants of normal mothers. In view of recent work suggesting that in diabetes mellitus a disturban...

bolic disturbances during the pregnancy, and may therefore be termed "macrosomic." Acker et al' reported that the incidence of shoulder dystocia in the deliveries of diabetic mothers was 50%, 23%, and 9% for infants weighing :4500 g, 4000-4499 g, and 3500-3999 g, respectively, compared with 23%, 10%, and 2% for deliveries of non-diabetic mothers. Thus many more infants of diabetic mothers are t...

CONTEXT Hospitalized infants undergo repeated invasive procedures. It is unknown whether cumulative experiences with pain lead to anticipatory pain behaviors and hyperalgesia. OBJECTIVES To determine whether newborns who are born to mothers with diabetes and undergo repeated pain learn to anticipate pain and exhibit more pain during a painful procedure than normal infants. DESIGN, SETTING, ...

Background: Infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) is a critical issue in pediatrics, which is regarded as a major risk factor for birth trauma, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), birth asphyxia, transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) and jaundice. IDM is also a risk factor for microvascular (e.g., ocular and renal complications) and macrovascular complications (e.g., cerebrovascular accident, a...
