Asphyxia around the time of preterm birth is associated with neurodevelopmental disability. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that blockade of connexin hemichannels would improve recovery of brain activity and reduce cell loss after asphyxia in preterm fetal sheep. Asphyxia was induced by 25 min of complete umbilical cord occlusion in preterm fetal sheep (103-104 d gestational age). Conne...

Asphyxia in newborns is a condition where the baby cannot breathe spontaneously and regularly immediately after birth. Data from Subulussalam City Hospital 2021 there are 19 cases of newborn deaths with 8 asphyxia. The purpose this study was to analyze factors associated incidence asphyxia at Hospital. In using type quantitative research cross sectional design. location carried out Hospital, be...

background: asphyxia is a perinatal accident with a high mortality rate, therapeutic hypothermia in both head or whole body was suggested as effective therapeutic methods. in this study, we compare these methods in neonates with asphyxia.methods and materials: 16 neonates with asphyxia in two hospitals including alzahra(head hypothermia) and taleghani hospital (total body hypothermia) went unde...

perinatal asphyxia using the cardiac biomarkers cTnI and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Troponin T and I are sensitive markers of myocardial injury following a perinatal hypoxic-ischaemia insult. BNP is a marker of ventricular wall stress secondary to myocardial dysfunction [8] . cTnI and BNP were collected before the start of hypothermia, at 24 and 48 h after birth, and after rewarming. BNP ...

BACKGROUND In 2000, the overall rate of injury deaths in children aged 0-14 was 28.7 per 100000 in Estonia, which is more than 5 times higher than the corresponding rate in neighbouring Finland. This paper describes childhood injury mortality in Estonia by cause and age groups, and validates registration of these deaths in the Statistical Office of Estonia against the autopsy data. METHODS Th...

Injury mortality was classically described with a trimodal distribution, with immediate deaths at the scene, early deaths due to hemorrhage, and late deaths from organ failure. We hypothesized that the development of trauma systems has improved prehospital care, early resuscitation, and critical care and altered this pattern. This population-based study of all trauma deaths in an urban county w...

BACKGROUND Traumatic asphyxia is probably much more common than the surgical literature shows and should always be kept in mind as a possible complication of injuries of the chest and abdomen. AIMS Traumatic asphyxia or Perte's syndrome results from a severe crush injury causing sudden compression of the thorax. During a 3-year period, we treated five cases of traumatic asphyxia, which we rep...

INTRODUCTION Perinatal asphyxia is one of the main causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity worldwide and it generates high costs for health systems; however, it has modifiable risk factors. OBJECTIVE To identify the risk factors associated with the development of perinatal asphyxia in newborns at Hospital Universitario del Valle, Cali, Colombia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Incident cases and ...

OBJECTIVE To determine risk factors for perinatal asphyxia. DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING Teaching hospital. METHODS All consecutive hospital births were evaluated during the study period. Asphyxia was defined on intrapartum and neonatal resuscitation criteria. Maternal, intrapartum and neonatal variables were recorded in all births. Data was analyzed after stratifying for live and stillbi...
