โœฆ Synopsis

The deviations of daily weight, weekly length and head circumference from linear growth were analyzed in 87 very low birth weight infants. The deviations exhibited a highly significant polynomial oscillation not only for weight, but also for length and head circumference. The weight amplitudes were larger for males than for females. They were also larger in infants appropriate for gestational age than in small-for-date infants. The difference with trophicity may be related to the process of adjustment of catch-up in small-for-date infants. However, the mechanisms of these oscillatory deviations could also be explained by clinical events, method of feeding, or homeostatic regulation. Further studies are required to elucidate the role of the different factors. Am. J. Hum. Biol. 10:637-646, 1998. ยฉ 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Apnea commonly occurs in preterm infants and may persist beyond term. We prospectively investigated the relationship between apnea that persisted beyond 35 weeks post-conceptional age and subsequent neurodevelopment in early childhood. Between January, 1990-November, 1993, we performed predischarge

We evaluated the impact of cesarean section (CS) delivery on the outcome of breech very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) (500-1,499 g) infants. This retrospective study used data from a large perinatal data base with 109,428 consecutive deliveries including 1,564 VLBW infants born between 1982 and 1987. The

To investigate the features of erythrocyte metabolism in extremely immature infants, we assayed 21 enzyme activities and glutathione level in cord erythrocytes from 28 extremely low-birth-weight infants (ELBWI; defined as birth weight <1,000 g).

Neck position can affect the position of the tip of the endotracheal tube (ETT) in normal neonates; this has not been systematically investigated in low birth weight (LBW) neonates. It was our intention to determine the effect of neck flexion and extension on ETT position in LBW infants. Eight LBW o

The Birth To Ten (BTT) birth cohort study was designed to investigate the health and growth of children living in the Soweto-Johannesburg Metropole, South Africa. During 1990-1991, 4034 singleton births, from a total birth population of 5449 that occurred between 23 April and 8 June, 1990, were enro
