Zirkadiane Blutdruckrhythmik bei der Präeklampsie: Ein Prädiktor für die maternale und geburtshilfliche Situation?
2003
Background Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-induced multiorganic disease. The incidence is 5 - 7 % in all pregnant women. To assess the value of circadian blood pressure rhythm in preeclamptic women, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring might be useful. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive value of circadian blood pressure rhythm for the maternal and obstetrical outcome in patients with mild preeclampsia. Patients and methods Sixty-six patients with mild preeclampsia underwent 24-hour blood pressure monitoring between 29 and 39 weeks gestation. Twenty-eight patients with normal circadian blood pressure rhythm were compared with thirty-eight patients with suspended circadian blo…
SEXUALHORMONE-BINDING GLOBULINE (SHBG) AND FREE TESTOSTERONE (FTE) IN PATIENTS WITH ULLRICH TURNLR SYNDROME(UTS) RECEIVING OXANDROLONE
1993
Our investigation showed that the concentration of SHBG decreased in healthy girls and boys at increased FIE concentrations. It was therefore the aim of the present study to examine the effects of anabolic steroid oxandrolone in SHBG and FTE concentrations in patients with Turner's syndrome. The normal dose to promote growth in patients wilh UTS is 0,1 mg/kg/BW. Our patients received a very low dose of 1,25 mg oxandrolone/doy. We analysed 21 sera of UTS patients. The determination of SHBG concentrations was performed with the IRMA (Famos diagnostics, Oulunsala, Finnland), the concentration of FTE was determined with the RIA (Immunchem.Corporation, Carson, USA). In 7 untreated UIS patients w…
Armbrust et al. 2015: Randomization questionable
2016
It is certainly possible that Cesarean delivery modifications like the one described by Armbrust, Hinkson, von Wiezsacker, and Henrich [1] are well received by mothers and partners, but some seriou...
Hyperoxemia caused by resuscitation with pure oxygen may alter intracellular redox status by increasing oxidized glutathione in asphyxiated newly bor…
2002
In a prospective, randomized, blinded trial we have studied the effects of resuscitation upon oxygenation in a group of asphyxiated newly born infants receiving room air or 100% oxygen as the gas source. During the acute phase of asphyxia and until the resuscitation procedure concluded, we determined serial blood gases as well as reduced and oxidized glutathione, enzymes involved in the glutathione redox cycle, and antioxidant enzyme activities. The use of 100% oxygen caused a remarkable increase of partial pressures of oxygen in arterial blood, with values that were frequently above physiological levels (>100 mm Hg). In addition, we have found a significant correlation between hyperoxemia …
Peripheral Intravenous Access in Preterm Neonates during Postnatal Stabilization: Feasibility and Safety
2017
Background Current European Guideline for resuscitation recommends a centrally positioned umbilical venous catheter as the best option for administering necessary drugs. Especially in preterm infants, a frequently used alternative is the peripheral venous catheter. Methods Two randomized controlled studies were conducted at the Division of Neonatology, Medical University of Graz. During neonatal resuscitation, a standardized protocol was filled out by an uninvolved observer including time points after birth of all attempts of venous puncture, time point of successful venous puncture, and total number of needed attempts. Arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR) were measured usi…
Lymphadenitis colli durch nichttuberkulöse Mykobakterien (NTM) im Kindesalter - Eine Fallserie und Literaturübersicht
2003
Objective Lymphadenitis colli due to NTM should always be considered in children with cervical Lymphadenitis. For Germany there is a lack of data concerning the incidence, the epidemiology, the diversity and frequency of the different bacteria, the diagnosis, the clinical manifestation and the medical treatment. Methods By means of a questionnaire, which was retrospective for 1985 to 1994 and was sent to 277 children's hospitals in Germany, we collected data on Lymphadenitis colli in Germany. In our study we also incorporated cases from the "National Laboratory for Mycobacteria" in Borstel as well as six cases from our hospital in Mainz. Therefore our data includes both clinical (28) and la…
G.P.232
2014
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and Pompe disease (PD) are common neuromuscular disorders during childhood causing progressive weakness of proximal muscles with gait disturbances, loss of ambulation and breathing difficulties. Whereas SMA is the result of a neurogenic atrophy caused by mutations in the SMN1 gene, PD is a lysosomal glycogen storage disease (type II) due to mutations of the GAA gene responsible for the enzyme activity of acid alpha-1,4-glucosidase. PD is treatable by enzyme replacement therapy, but in SMA there is no established curable therapy. We report on a child with genetically proven SMA type III and PD caused by mutations in the SMN1 and GAA genes. A 3 years old girl pre…
Sarcosinaemia in a retarded, amaurotic child.
1986
A 9-month-old Turkish girl demonstrated an abnormal qualitative amino acid excretion pattern suggestive of sarcosinaemia. She was blind and had evidence of developmental and motor retardation. No other physical abnormalities were noted. Quantitative amino acid analysis revealed elevated serum and urine sarcosine levels. An oral sarcosine loading test showed an exaggerated response with a delayed conversion to glycine. Sarcosine was undetected in other family members.
Competitive active video games: Physiological and psychological responses in children and adolescents
2015
Recent strategies to reduce sedentary behaviour in children include replacing sedentary screen time for active video games. Active video game studies have focused principally on the metabolic consumption of a single player, with physiological and psychological responses of opponent-based multiplayer games to be further evaluated.To determine whether adding a competitive component to playing active video games impacts physiological and psychological responses in players.Sixty-two healthy Caucasian children and adolescents, nine to 14 years years of age, completed three conditions (8 min each) in random order: treadmill walking, and single and opponent-based Kinect active video games. Affect,…
