This study was designed to explore whether it possible evaluate the severity of VSD, PDA, and ASD by measuring brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. We also investigated normal BNP levels in children provide a baseline for our study. measured 253 children, including 11 neonates, 91 VSD patients, 29 PDA 34 patients. showed no age-related differences (the mean value: 5.3 +/- 3.8 pg/ml). In healthy rose from 10.4 11.9 pg/ml cord blood 118.8 83.2 on day 0, then fell 15.3 7.8 7. correlated...
Abstract Bronchopulmonary dysplasia ( BPD ) is one of the most common complications in premature infants. Although several different drugs have been developed for , there a wide variation choice drug used among facilities. The aim this study was to carry out survey current treat J apan. Questionnaires regarding use were sent tertiary neonatal units. response rate 80% (77/96). Most units antenatal steroids and oral diuretics prevention treatment respectively. Only 4% caffeine prevention,...
We aimed to examine the association between respiratory severity score (RSS; mean airway pressure × fraction of inspired oxygen) and neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely preterm infants.
Seizures induced by eating are generally considered rare. Eating epilepsy is a kind of reflex epilepsy. We report two patients aged 11 and 16, with seizures provoked eating. The eating-provoked in both were series tonic spasms. Both ictal EEGs showed periodic pattern characterized diffuse high voltage slow wave. These findings consistent spasms described Gobbi et al. ECD widely distributed patients, although that Patient 1 was partially clustered the right frontal region. This first
Neonatal Bartter syndrome (NBS) is an inherited renal tubular disorder associated with hypokalemic alkalosis. Here we report a case of genetically diagnosed NBS. Polyhydramnios was noted at 26 weeks. A boy born 31 weeks and 1 day, weighed 1344 g, had Apgar score 8/8. We initiated indomethacin (IND) dose 0.2 mg/kg/d on day 31, increased it to approximately 3 mg/kg/d. However, his urinary calcium (Ca) levels remained unchanged. At 4 months age, nephrocalcinosis detected by ultrasound. The...
Introduction: Late preterm infants (LPIs) are at greater risk for short- and long-term morbidity compared with term infants. However, little is known about whether breastfeeding can reduce the adverse effect of late (LP) birth on various diseases. Therefore, we examined association LP hospitalizations from 6 to 18 months age, then explored possible modification this by breastfeeding. Materials Methods: Data were extracted a nationwide population-based longitudinal survey in Japan. We...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the associations between delivery room intubation (DRI) and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), as well other neonatal outcomes, among extremely preterm infants without low Apgar scores using data from a large-scale registry in Japan. We analyzed for born at 24–27 gestational weeks 2003 2019 Japan robust Poisson regression. Infants with (≤ 1 min or ≤ 3 5 min) were excluded. primary outcome IVH. Secondary outcomes morbidities mortality....
BackgroundNitric oxide (NO) may be related to the pathogenesis of several morbidities in extremely preterm infants, including late-onset adrenal insufficiency. However, eosinophilia is observed under pathological conditions with Therefore, this study explored postnatal changes NO levels and eosinophil counts infants without morbidities.MethodsNineteen a median gestational age 27.0 weeks birth weight 888 g were enrolled study. Serum nitrogen oxides (NOx) peripheral blood measured at every 2...
131I-MIBG may be useful in the detection of neuroendocrine tumours. Merkel cell carcinoma is a tumour skin. We evaluated patient with using 123I-MIBG single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) which demonstrated accumulation radiotracer right eyelid. This result suggests that SPECT evaluation carcinoma.
To improve the detectability of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, we have developed a new method, ‘sequential subtraction scintigraphy‘ (SSS) with 99Tcm-labelled red blood cells (RBC). Sequential scintigrams were obtained by subtracting 5 min interval images from each other using digital gamma camera. With this are able to detect bleeding site and calculate rate earlier because lower background activity. The results present study demonstrate that minimum detectable was 0.05 ml min−1 in both...
