The present study was undertaken to determine if a synthetic peptide, KLLLLKLLLLKLLLLKLLLLK (KL4), in which K = lysine and L leucine, an aqueous dispersion of phospholipids (DPPC POPG), would expand pulmonary alveoli improve gas exchange premature human infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). KL4 peptide synthesized resemble the amino acid pattern surfactant protein B (SP-B). Forty-seven RDS were treated within 4 h birth KL4-peptide/phospholipid mixture, called KL4-Surfactant....
Of 43 long-term survivors with birth weights of 1,250 g or less, 33 were compared peers and school-aged siblings for educational levels needs. the children in school, three (9.1%) classes major handicaps, whereas 30 (90.9%) found to be comparable their classmates by teachers and/or test scores, but 14 (47%) receiving remedial instruction perform at grade level. 13 siblings, required more hours assistance specialized teaching staff than siblings. The group without need had older mothers...
Forty-one infants treated for abdominal wall defects were studied retrospectively. Using established anatomic criteria the identified as having either an omphalocele or gastroschisis. They compared maternal and infant characteristics to determine if distinct perinatal exist between two groups. Gastroschisis patients had lower mean age, more likely be first born, of birth weight. Major malformations apart from those associated with gastrointestinal tract anterior occurred 12 times often in...
OVER 80% of the corn crop is harvested for grain (Coppock and Stone, 1968). Approximately 50 to 60% dry matter content plant removed when (Johnson et al., 1966); consequently, vast amount vegetation (corn stover) remaining in field offers a large potential source energy ruminant animals. Ensiling vegetative material reduces losses may produce more palatable feedstuff than if utilized by grazing. Corn stover contains considerable energy; but regard nutrient requirements it be deficient...
SummaryThe effects of cold acclimation on the kidney adult male hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) were studied. The animals exposed to an ambient temperature 4°C for periods 4 10 weeks. Biochemical changes induced by include: 1) increased succinoxidase and succinic dehydrogenase activity, 2) total microsomal DPNH-cytochrome c reductase activity per kidney, but a decreased specific this enzyme, 3) nitrogen, DNA. glutamicoxaloacetate transaminase is unchanged. wet weight much greater in...
Abstract Continuous negative pressure ventilation utilizes subatmospheric around the thorax to improve oxygenation. It has not been routinely used since mid‐1970s. We treated 37 infants with combination of continuous (CNP) and intermittent mandatory (IMV), after failing attain a Pa ≥50 torr on IMV alone. Lung diseases included pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), artery hypertension (PAH) due either meconium aspiration (MAS) or other causes (non‐MAS)....
HERNIATION of the lung beyond normal confines thoracic cavity is a rare occurrence. Approximately 260 cases have been reported to date, majority involving adults.<sup>1-3</sup>These include cervical as well and diaphragmatic hernias. Cervical herniations account for an estimated one third cases.<sup>1,2</sup>Moreover, review available literature revealed but report congenital herniation occurring within first year life.<sup>4</sup> The cat-cry syndrome related partial variable deletion short...
Eighteen infants, each weighing less than 1,500 gm, were treated with low dose digoxin therapy for patent ductus arteriosus and signs of circulatory congestion. Nine the 18 developed one or more clinical deterioration felt to be related therapy: eight infants experienced frequent episodes bradycardia, six had cardiac arrhythmias, feeding difficulties. All disappeared when was discontinued. Digoxin, even in relatively dosages, can have deleterious complications seriously ill low-birth-weight...
