<h3>Aim</h3> To investigate whether infants born late-preterm have poorer school attainment compared to those at term. <h3>Methods</h3> This study used data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Key stage one (KS1) assessment results were obtained local education authorities. Logistic regression models effect gestation, that is, (32–36 weeks) versus term (37–41 weeks), on success in KS1 teacher assessments. Regression adjusted for potential confounders, including maternal...
The degeneration of enteric neurones has been recorded in grass sickness, but the distribution lesions gut and their possible relationship with severity clinical signs not established. Samples obtained from 11 anatomically defined sites along gastrointestinal tract eight control horses without disease, five acute sickness three chronic were examined histologically. organisation ganglia was similar to that other large mammalian species. Minor exceptions included presence fundic mucosal nerve...
Prior studies have been equivocal about whether or not serum levels of the divalent ions calcium and magnesium are altered during different types seizures. Magnesium is a potential modulator seizure activity because its ability to antagonize excitatory influx through N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. We hypothesize that ionized (Ca(2+)) (Mg(2+)) would be significantly certain seizures.A convenience sample patients presenting an emergency department (ED) were enrolled in this prospective...

Non-pediatric trainees working in pediatrics the UK are expected to attend newborn deliveries and provide initial life support if needed. In Swindon, new junior doctors receive a 90-minute teaching session at start of their rotation, but content has not previously been standardized, it may be several weeks before doctor attends delivery.

<h3>Background</h3> Depression in pregnancy is commonly treated using selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). A possible withdrawal syndrome following utero exposure has been reported, but there currently no UK guidance on the management of these neonates. <h3>Methods</h3> All 160 neonatal units England were asked for information regarding their SSRI-exposed babies. <h3>Results</h3> Responses obtained from 112/160 (70%) units. Only four had a specific protocol managing Twenty-one...
A 16-year-old showjumping gelding was examined because of a non-painful, slowly progressive caudal thigh swelling, which associated with 2/10th lameness at the trot.
