The developing brain has an increased susceptibility to seizure activity, and neonatal seizures can adversely affect neurodevelopmental outcome. This study aimed to determine the incidence of neonatal seizures in very low birthweight infants and to identify perinatal and postnatal factors associated
OBJECTIVE
To document the number of infants with spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) and determine the association of any underlying pathologic processes in the lung with SP.
METHODS
Retrospective chart review of infants admitted with SP from January 1985, to December 1994.
METHODS
Patients admitted to
Pulmonary disease is a rare manifestation of Tuberous Sclerosis. We report a case where the patient presented with seizures, shortness of breath, popular lesions on the face and warty growths over the skin. She was intubated and the lung expanded on the 7th day after a longstanding pneumothorax of 3
Secondary pneumothorax occurs as a symptom of an underlying pulmonary disease. We report the case of an 18-year-old woman with tuberous sclerosis (Bourneville's disease) and recurrent pneumothoraces. Clinical outcome was favorable 6 months after bilateral videothoracoscopic pleurectomy. The complete
Case Report. A 37 years old patient at 40 weeks gestation presented with acute severe hypoxia with a seizure followed by fetal bradycardia. Caesarean section was performed under GA and she was intubated and ventilated. History revealed longstanding right pleural endometriosis with multiple
A 54-year-old alcohol-dependant male patient suffering from severe alcohol withdrawal syndrome had to be intubated and artificially ventilated because of autonomic instability, convulsions and pulmonary dysfunction. A nasogastric tube (NGT) was inserted for enteral feeding and although placement was
A 41-year-old woman was admitted to our clinic because of an acute subdural hematoma. After an emergency operation her neurological status improved with an increase in the Glasgow Coma Scale score from 6 to 11. On the second postoperative day she developed frequent episodes of clonic convulsive
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) either sporadic or a part of tuberous sclerosis complex is rare in paediatric age group. Here, we report a case of LAM with tuberous sclerosis in an infant. She was referred to our institute at the age of 4 months as a case of recurrent bilateral pneumothorax requiring
An 8-month-old girl with acute mercury vapor intoxication experienced pneumonitis with respiratory failure, bilateral pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, acute renal failure, hepatocellular dysfunction, and seizures. Treatment centered on intensive supportive care; her survival is exceptional among
OBJECTIVE
Decreasing mortality in sick and ventilated neonates is an endeavor of all neonatologists. To reduce the high mortality in this group of neonates, identification of risk factors is important. This study was undertaken to find out the indications of ventilation and complications in
81 preterm infants of 34 weeks' gestation or less were prospectively and sequentially examined by means of real-time ultrasound in order to identify which clinical risk factors might be associated with the development of peri-intraventricular haemorrhage (PVH) and periventricular leukomalacia (PVL).
A study of pregnancy outcome was performed using a 1982-1985 regional network database of 60,456 infants. The perinatal mortality rate was 15.6 deaths per 1,000 births (total, 942), while the antepartum, intrapartum and neonatal mortality rates were 5.3, 1.6 and 8.7, respectively. Seven hundred
We describe a prospective two year study aimed at assessing information collected throughout a geographically defined region as a basis for clinical governance, quality improvement and service planning in neonatal intensive and special care. All 13 Northern Ireland units returned a range of
BACKGROUND
Patients triaged to tertiary care centers frequently undergo rotary-wing transport and may be exposed to additional risk for adverse events. The incidence of physiologic adverse events and their predisposing factors in mechanically ventilated patients undergoing aeromedical transport are
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether the application of occlusive wrap applied immediately after birth will reduce mortality in very preterm infants.
METHODS
This was a prospective randomized controlled trial of infants born 24 0/7 to 27 6/7 weeks' gestation who were assigned randomly to occlusive wrap or
