Der Säure-Basenstatus und die CO2-Transportfunktion des mütterlichen und fetalen Blutes zum Zeitpunkt der Geburt

1965

Als Voraussetzung fur die Analyse des Gasaustausches in der menschlichen Placenta werden die charakteristischen Daten fur den CO2-Transport und den Saure-Basenstatus im mutterlichen und fetalen Blut zum Zeitpunkt der Geburt bestimmt. Dabei ergeben sich als Mittelwerte bei 54 Fallen normaler Spontangeburt mit einzeitiger Entwicklung des Kindes, bei denen samtliche Meswerte vorliegen:

Xylit-Verwertung bei Früngeborenen, Säuglingen, Kindern und Erwachsenen Kinetik der Elimination aus dem Blut

1966

Bei der kinetischen Untersuchung des Blutspiegel-Abfalls nach intravenoser Xylit-Infusion lassen sich in der Regel zwei Vorgange unterscheiden: Ein ziemlich rasch ablaufender Vorgang, der als Verteilung auf den Extracellularraum gedeutet wird, und ein langsamerer Prozes der Verteilung auf den gesamten Flussigkeitsraum des Organismus. Zwischen Fruhgeborenen, reifen Sauglingen, Kindern von 4–8 Jahren und Erwachsenen von 30–41 Jahren bestehen keine signifikanten Unterschiede in der Geschwindigkeit des Ablaufs dieser beiden Eliminationsvorgange. Auch der langsamere Verteilungsvorgang auf den gesamten Intracellularraum verlauft sicher schneller als der Xylitumsatz, so das es zu einer vorubergehe…

The outcome of Wilms' tumor in infants. Italy 1970-79.

1982

Thirty-four infants under 1 year of age with Wilms’ tumor were diagnosed and treated in 14 Italian pediatric oncology units during 1970-79. The 3-year survival rates decreased with higher group unilateral tumors: 95% in group I Wilms’ tumor, 75% in group II and 20% in group III. The survival rates for children with group I and II Wilms’ tumor were similar for those who were treated with surgery and chemotherapy and those who also received postoperative radiotherapy. During 1975-79 fewer patients with group I Wilms’ tumor received radiotherapy (1 of 11) than during 1970-74 (4 of 6, p < 0.05). All these children are alive at this writing.

A survey on knowledge and self-reported formula handling practices of parents and child care workers in Palermo, Italy

2009

AbstractBackgroundPowdered infant formula (PIF) is not a sterile product, but this information appears to be poorly diffused among child caregivers. Parents and child care workers may behave in an unsafe manner when handling PIF.MethodsThis study involved parents and child care workers in the 24 municipal child care centres of Palermo. Knowledge and self-reported practices about PIF handling were investigated by a structured questionnaire. A Likert scale was used to measure the strength of the respondent's feelings. Association of knowledge and self-reported practices with demographic variables was also evaluated.Results42.4% of parents and 71.0% of child care workers filled in the question…

Spatial Analysis of Childhood Cancer: A Case/Control Study

2015

BACKGROUND: Childhood cancer was the leading cause of death among children aged 1-14 years for 2012 in Spain. Leukemia has the highest incidence, followed by tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) and lymphomas (Hodgkin lymphoma, HL, and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, NHL). Spatial distribution of childhood cancer cases has been under concern with the aim of identifying potential risk factors. OBJECTIVE: The two objectives are to study overall spatial clustering and cluster detection of cases of the three main childhood cancer causes, looking to increase etiological knowledge. METHODS: We ran a case-control study. The cases were children aged 0 to 14 diagnosed with leukemia, lymphomas (HL and …

Hypoproteinemia on the first day of life and adverse outcome in very preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit

2012

International audience; OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the relationship between day-1 hypoproteinemia and severe adverse outcome (SAO) in very preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study of all patients born from 24 to 31 weeks gestation and cared for in our NICU over an 8-year period. Infants were excluded if the serum protein value on the first day of life was not available. RESULT: A total of 913 patients were included. In all, 14.6% presented with SAO (death or severe neurological injury on cranial ultrasound). Hypoproteinemia (total protein level \textless40 g l(-1)) on day 1 of life occurred in 19.5 % of all patients. The …
