Cyclopentolate is widely used in ophthalmology for its intense mydriatic and cycloplegic activity. Systemic side effects have been described in both adults and children. Myoclonic seizure is a rare side effect of eye drops that are used in eye examinations. We report herein a case of convulsion in a
The eyes of infants who were premature or had exposure to increased ambient oxygen from 1979 to 1981 were examined. Of 1012 neonates, 19 were found to have acute retrolental fibroplasia (RLF) grade III or worse in at least one eye. Sixteen also had chronic lung disease (CLD), and when compared to 25
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vasoproliferative disorder that is one of the main preventable causes of blindness among preterm neonates. This study aimed to determine the incidence of ROP and investigate the relationship between perinatal risk factors and ROP We studied the importance of exposure to an elevated partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) in the development of scarring retinopathy of prematurity (SROP) in a cohort of 92 neonates with chronic lung disease (greater than or equal to 14 days of respiratory therapy, greater than or equal to 30
OBJECTIVE
To describe visual function and associated characteristics at the 6-year examination in children enrolled in the Early Treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity Study who had unfavorable visual outcomes despite favorable structural outcomes in one or both eyes.
METHODS
The clinical
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and the maternal/neonatal risk factors at a tertiary care hospital in Oman, compared to other countries.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis of premature neonates born with gestational age (GA) 24-32
BACKGROUND
Premature infants scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia are more prone to cardio-respiratory complications. Risk factors include post-conception age (PCA), cardiac and respiratory disease, anemia and opioid administration. This retrospective study evaluates the perioperative
OBJECTIVE
To determine genetic variants associated with severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a candidate gene cohort study of US preterm infants.
METHODS
Preterm infants in the discovery cohort were enrolled through the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human
OBJECTIVE
Preterm infants weighing less than 1500 g routinely undergo a series of eye examinations to screen for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). While these examinations are important for the prevention of blindness, infants may suffer adverse physiologic events during and after the examination.
We report the morbidity and mortality in extremely low birth weight neonates (ELBW) from a tertiary care hospital over seven years (1994-2000). Data regarding maternal and neonatal details was obtained from old records, computer database and medical files. Of the 12,807 live births during this
A two-year follow-up study of 43 infants of birth weight less than or equal to 1,000 gm born during 1974 revealed the following: average height at two years was between the tenth and twenty-fifth percentiles; average weight between the third and tenth percentiles. Fifteen (35%) developed lower
Two hundred children from one neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), who were very low birthweight (VLBW), were examined at approximately 9 years of age and compared with a control group of normal birthweight children. Visual morbidity was significantly higher among children who were very low
It is difficult to assess how large is the proportion of handicap in the pediatric age related to perinatal events; this is mainly due to the following reasons: lack of uniform criteria and accuracy in defining both "handicap" and the "perinatal period"; variable involvement of perinatal factors in
Growth, development, and neurologic status were assessed at 1 year of age in 38 infants of birth weight less than 1,000 gm who were born in 1976 through 1978. Twenty had received mechanical ventilation as newborns, and this group had a significantly higher incidence of respiratory distress syndrome,
Preterm infants have difficulty maintaining body temperature after birth. However, clinical guidelines advocate that neonatal body temperature should be maintained at 36.5-37.5°C.We aimed to investigate the incidence of admission hypothermia in very low
