fetal distress/necrosis

OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of fetal distress on interleukin-1beta, interleukin-6, interleukin-8 and on tumour necrosis factor-alpha blood levels in noninfected full-term neonates. METHODS In a multicentre prospective study, cord blood samples were obtained at time of delivery from 234

Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn (SCFNN) is a rare benign inflammatory disorder of the adipose tissue but may be complicated by hypercalcemia or less frequently, hypocalcemia, resulting in morbidity and mortality. Here we report the case of a neonate with subcutaneous fat necrosis who

A case of subcutaneous fat necrosis that occurred at Hospital e Maternidade São Luiz is described. A brief review of the literature is made and the authors verify that the risk group for fat necrosis is constituted by full-term newborns who experienced fetal distress. It is shown that hypercalcemia

Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn (SFN) usually occurs in the first few weeks of life in full-term infants and presents as indurated, distinct nodules with a predilection for the cheeks, shoulders, back, buttocks, and proximal extremities. Most cases are related to some form of fetal

Subcutaneous fat necrosis (SFN) of the newborn is uncommon and usually occurs in the first weeks of life following a complicated delivery. The frequency with which hypercalcemia develops as a complication is uncertain. We report the clinical features of SFN in 11 patients seen between 1991 and 1998.

Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn is an uncommon disorder occurring during the prenatal stage. Generally occurring in full-term neonates or during the first four weeks after a traumatic delivery, the disorder is characterized by the appearance of hard subcutaneous nodules or plaques on the

OBJECTIVE We investigated prospectively cord blood TNF-α and IL-6 levels as diagnostic indicators of brain damage in neonates with non-asphyxia fetal distress. METHODS Eighty neonates delivered by cesarean section from January 2013 to December 2014 were enrolled. Magnetic resonance imaging was

The literature lacks epidemiologic study of pregnancy outcome with light-microscopic meconium-related lesions. We recently described previously unreported meconium-induced necrosis of placental and umbilical cord vessels and hypothesized that the lesions represent preceding vasocontraction and fetal

Three cases of extravaginal torsion of the spermatic cord with infarct of the testicle in the newborn are presented. All three cases had acute fetal distress. They had in common being the products of multiparous women, born in a distocic fashion with a prolonged labor without prenatal control. One

A baby with acute fetal distress and severe heart malformation presented with persisting hypotonia and muscle weakness. Clinical, electromyography, and muscle biopsy findings were compatible with anterior horn cell disease. Postmortem study showed widespread ischemic necrosis in the anterior gray

Fetal dysrhythmias are usually transient. Abnormal fetal rates and rhythms during labor are "functional." Fetal dysrhythmias may be associated with congenital heart disease and fetal hydrops. Bradycardia is usually related to fetal distress; supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, and atrial

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the extent to which histologic lesions bearing a diagnosis of abruption conform to a diagnosis based on established clinical criteria. We further examined the profile of chronic and acute histologic lesions associated with clinical abruption. METHODS Data from the New

A fetus with a huge hepatic tumor was detected by sonography at 36 weeks of gestation. The mass appeared as a single, solid and polylobular tumor located in the right lobe of the liver. Foci of hemorrhage, necrosis and some tiny calcifications were seen. The adjacent right kidney appeared normal but

Bovine alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was determined in maternal plasma, using radioimmunoassay in an attempt to detect and monitor fetal distress in pregnant cows. Plasma from pregnant cows in the 4th to 5th month of the gestation which had been exposed to Sarcocystis cruzi, Campylobacter fetus, or

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to obtain new information about the relationship between infant responses to surfactant replacement therapy and histopathological changes in vital organs. METHODS To accomplish this, the autopsy findings and clinical backgrounds of 41 very low birth weight infants (gestational
