To determine the frequency, etiology, the clinical types, and outcome of seizures in neonates during the course of stay in the neonatal unit.
METHODS
Cross-sectional study.
METHODS
Pediatric Department, LMCH, from February 2000 to April 2001.

All neonates (1-28 days) presented with
OBJECTIVE
To determine the causes of seizures in the newborn period.
METHODS
Cross-sectional analytical study.
METHODS
Neonatal Unit, Paediatric Department, Allied Hospital, Faisalabad, from April 2003 to June 2004.
METHODS
A total of 200 neonates of either gender who presented with seizures or
The prevalence of kernicterus in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) decreased from more than 2/1000 live births in 1980 to none in 1984. To clarify predictors of kernicterus, we examined the medical records of infants born during that time who died between 2 and 28 days of age. Infants were
A total of 40 cases of neonatal convulsions of different nonmetabolic aetiological factors were studied. Patients with kernicterus were included in the study. Peak plasma phenobarbital concentrations after incremental loading doses of phenobarbital i.e. 10 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg, and 20 mg/kg were
BACKGROUND
Neonatal seizures (NS) affect approximately 1% of neonates. Clonic, tonic, myoclonic and subtle seizures are the common types. Birth asphyxia, sepsis, metabolic derangements, intracranial bleed, kernicterus, tetanus and 5th day fits are the common aetiologies. This study was planned to
A review of 398 neonatal autopsies at Downstate Medical Center revealed 27 cases of kernicterus during the seven-year period from 1971 through 1977. With the current intensive care of the sick newborn, kernicterus continues to occur, mainly in premature infants with relatively low levels of serum
A 5-day-old Thoroughbred foal was submitted to the necropsy service at the University of Kentucky Livestock Disease Diagnostic Center. The foal had a clinical history of seizure activity and severe icterus. A complete blood count and serum chemistry analysis indicated that the foal was anemic
Crigler-Najjar disease (CN) type I is characterized by persistent unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia from birth. The male patient here was diagnosed with this disease as a neonate and had been treated by phototherapy. At age 16 he suddenly developed generalized convulsions, followed by impaired
BACKGROUND
Kernicterus is an irreversible brain damage caused by bilirubin deposition in selective brain regions. Sick and preterm infants with hyperbilirubinemia are particularly susceptible to the condition.
METHODS
We studied autopsied brain tissue from a premature female infant with kernicterus
OBJECTIVE
To ascertain the prevalence of active epilepsy, febrile seizures (FS), cerebral palsy (CP) and tic disorders (TD) in aged 19 years or less.
METHODS
This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted as a two-stage door-to-door survey of a stratified randomly selected population in
Sixty-five of 3261 (2%) Saudi neonates were found to be severely G6PD-deficient during a cord blood screening programme conducted from April to December, 1992. However, at the time of molecular studies, the blood samples were available from only 20 randomly selected children, aged from 1 to 6 years.
Exchange transfusion (ECT) has an important role in preventing kernicterus in the treatment of indirect hyperbilirubinemia of the newborn. In present study, the etiology of hyperbilirubinemia and complications of ECT were studied over a five-year period in the Eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey.
The purpose of this work was to review the literature about the newborn neurological pathology and to compare it with our results starting from the observation of 650 children who born at the Clinical Hospital of Porto Alegre from September 1979 to June 1980. Out of these, 100 presented with
The aim of the study was to investigate risk factors, clinical profiles and gross motor function levels of Turkish children with cerebral palsy (CP). A total of 625 consecutive children with CP, who were rehabilitated in the pediatrics rehabilitation clinic between 2000 and 2004 years, were
Bilirubin-induced neurologic dysfunction (BIND) and kernicterus has been used to describe moderate to severe neurologic dysfunction observed in children exposed to excessive levels of total serum bilirubin (TSB) during the neonatal period. Here we use a new mouse model that targets deletion of the
