The main serum ions were determined in healthy, full-term newborn infants having different plasma volumes. The serum sodium, potassium, and calcium concentrations were found to be constant, thus their circulating quantities were dependent on the actual plasma expansion. The serum inorganic phosphoru

✦ Synopsis
Polygraphic studies were performed in 14 fullterm newborns. The sleep behavior of the infants was correlated to the serum Mg level. Correlations could be demonstrated between serum Mg and active sleep, as well as between serum Mg and quiet sleep. With increasing serum Mgquiet sleep increased, whereas active sleep decreased. After Mg injection quiet sleep increased and active sleep decreased even more. There were also corresponding correlations between serum Mg and rapid eye movements, submental muscle tone, and gross body movements.

Peak and trough serum concentrations of ceftazidime and tobramycin were determined in neonates with suspected septicaemia in an open randomized study. Mean peak serum levels were 85 (+/- 4.4 SE) mg/l for ceftazidime and 5.8 (+/- 0.3 SE) mg/l for tobramycin. The peak serum levels of ceftazidime were
Sixty-seven babies were utilized to (a) document the serum bilirubin lowering effect and safety of a phenobarbitone and nikethamide combination in neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia of non-hemolytic origin; (b) determine whether birthweight and/or SGOT, SGPT or SGGT activity on day one of life correlated
A human IgG preparation was given intravenously to 36 newborn infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit because of suspected septicaemia. IgG was given as a single dose of 0.4 g/kg body weight. Patient serum was obtained immediately before and 30 min after terminating the infusion. Blood
