Poverty is associated with adverse long-term cognitive outcomes in children. also linked preterm delivery which, turn, outcomes. However, the extent of effect poverty on delivery, as well proposed mechanisms by which they occur, have not been described. Further, impact school readiness has reviewed. As childhood level continues to increase U.S., we examine evidence around physiological, neurological, and learning prematurity context poverty. We use gathered suggest an Eco-Bio-Developmental...
Purpose: To assess the influence of corneal surface microirregularities on objective and subjective visual performance after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Setting: Multicenter clinical trial. Methods: The alpha version Potential Corneal Acuity (PCA) computer program, currently under development, was used to qualitatively quantitatively analyze 176 eyes patients 1 year PRK. Color maps irregularities were reviewed quantitative values predicting best spectacle-corrected acuity (BSCVA) as...
Rotavirus is the most common cause of fatal childhood diarrhea worldwide. We provide first estimates health care and economic burden severe rotavirus disease in Oman. conducted active, hospital-based surveillance at 11 regional public hospitals Oman, using guidelines suggested by generic World Health Organization protocol.

There are no available therapies cure IVH, standard treatment supportive care. Unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSCs) from human cord blood have reparative effects in animal models brain spinal injuries. USSCs were administered premature rabbit pups with IVH their on white matter integrity neurobehavioral performance evaluated. injected...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Earlier studies have reported clinical outcomes for up to 2 years following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) using a 5.0-mm treatment zone with the Summit excimer laser. We present results of PRK 6-mm ablation same METHODS: Forty-five eyes 45 patients underwent laser correction myopia beam diameter. Attempted corrections ranged from 1.50 diopters (D) 6.00 D. Data on uncorrected visual acuity, spectacle-corrected predictability, corneal haze, subjective glare/halo...
Infants who are younger than 6 months and have influenza demonstrate significant morbidity mortality. Trivalent inactivated vaccine is indicated for parents household contacts of these infants; however, the vaccination rate in this population estimated at 30%. The objective study was to determine feasibility trivalent administration a tertiary-care, level III NICU measure effect program on rates among high-risk population.For 4-month period during season, all admitted patients were informed...
Pre-natal ultrasonography presents an opportunity for in-utero therapy of a fetal goiter. Because the morbidity associated with large goiter and risks repeated intra-amniotic injections, controversy arose about precise indications this mode treatment. We describe our observations in treating 22-week-old fetus because dyshormogenesis, monitored serial 3D high frequency, resolution amniotic hormonal measurements.
