Satyabrata Roychowdhoury, Subhajit Bhakta, Manas Kumar Mahapatra, Saptarshi Ghosh, Sayantika Saha, Mithun Chandra Konar, Mihir Sarkar, Mousumi Nandi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2022;65(7):358-366.   Published online May 13, 2022
Question: Potential role of patterns of lung ultrasonography (US) in monitoring changes in mechanically ventilated patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia.
Finding: Interstitial syndrome, an irregular pleural line, and peripheral microconsolidation were the most prevalent findings. Changes in lung aeration after mechanical ventilation corelated with improved oxygenation. A fall in lung ultrasound reaeration score ≤ 5 may predict successful weaning.
Meaning: Lung US is gaining wider utility for monitoring COVID-19 pneumonia.

Purpose : Recent progress in neonatal medicine increased the survival of preterm low birth weight infants. However, neurodevelopmental sequelae are ever increasing. We carried out this study to determine whether serial cranial ultrasonographic findings could predict neurodevelopmental outcome. Methods : Four hundred and forty-one preterm low birth weight infants, who were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Chonnam University...
Effects of Umbilical Arterial Catheterization on Intestinal Hemodynamics
Sejung Sohn, Su Jung Choi, Jung An Yang, Eun Ae Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(5):650-657.   Published online May 15, 2000
Purpose : An umbilical arterial catheter(UAC) in the high position reduces the lumen of the aorta and may thereby impair blood supply to the intestine. Effects of UAC on intestinal blood flow were investigated. Methods : With the measurement of the aortic diameter, pulsed Doppler ultrasonography was performed in 23 fasting newborns to measure blood flow velocities(peak systolic velocity, end-diastolic velocity,...
Doppler Analysis of Postprandial Intestinal Blood Flow in Healthy Preterm Infants
Yu In Park, Young Kook Kim, Young Sook Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(6):780-787.   Published online June 15, 1996
Purpose : The newborn period is a time of rapid physiological change in the gastrointestinal tract, when adaptation from a state of parenteral nutrition to the demands of enteral feeding take place. little is known about the intestinal vascular responses that accompany intestinal adaptive changes, although there is much speculation about the relationship between entreral feeding, alterations in gut perfusion,...
Changes of Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity before and after Closure of Ductus Arteriosus using Doppler Ultrasound in Normal Full-term Newborns

Purpose : With PDA, major fluctuations of blood flow are noted between opening and closure of ductus arteriosus and there is an increase in the amplitude of each pulse of blood flow. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes of cerebral blood flow before and after closure of ductus arteriosus in healthy term newborns. Methods : Forty-two normal term...
Saline reduction of intussusception under ultrasound guidance.
Min Hyea Kim, Jung Weon Seo, Sung Joo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(12):1678-1682.   Published online December 31, 1991
Intussusception is the most common cause of acquired intestinal obstruction and requires emer- gency treatment. Recently, saline reduction under the ultrasound guidance has been successful as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool of intussusception. It is a simple, rapid, noninvasive, painless procedure without risk of radiation. We compared the result of saline reduction in 54 cases with that of barium reduction in 104 cases from January, 1988...
Three cases of nonimmune hydrops fetalis.
Young Youn Choi, Jae Sook Ma, Tai Ju Hwang, Tae Bok Song
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(5):691-699.   Published online May 31, 1991
Nonimmune hydrops fetalis is defined as a pathologic and generalized abnormal accumulation of serous fluid in the entire body tissues and cavities unassociated with erythroblastosis. After the licensing of Rh Immune Prophylaxis (1968), the incidence of classic erythroblastosis fetalis has declined dramatically but the proportion of nonimmune types has increased relatively. With increasing use of ultrasound as a part of routine obstetric care, fetal...
