So Yoon Ahn, Son Moon Shin, Kyung Ah Kim, Yeon Kyung Lee, Sun Young Ko
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(3):376-379.   Published online March 15, 2009
We report a case of a premature newborn baby who presented with hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and metabolic acidosis accompanied by severe polyhydramnios in utero. The baby was diagnosed with pseudohypoaldosteronism on the basis of normal 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels, elevated aldosterone, and clinical symptoms. His serum electrolyte levels were corrected with sodium chloride supplementation. Sodium supplementation was reduced gradually and discontinued at 5...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(12):1315-1319.   Published online December 15, 2008
Purpose : We aimed to examine the effect of rooming-in care on newborn infants emotional stability by comparing them with those cared for in a nursery. Methods : Forty-eight full-term newborn infants born at Cheil General Hospital between July 1 and October 31, 2007, were enrolled. Twenty-four newborn infants were roomed-in in their mothers rooms (rooming-in group), and 24 newborns...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(11):1172-1178.   Published online November 15, 2008
Purpose : Congenital chylothorax is an accumulation of lymphatic fluid within the pleural space. It is a common cause of unidentified hydrops fetalis. We examined the perinatal history, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome in 6 newborns diagnosed to have congenital chylothorax with hydrops fetalis. We also studied the effect of octreotide therapy for congenital chylothorax in relation to conservative...
Incidence of breast milk jaundice in healthy full-term infants

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(11):1072-1077.   Published online November 15, 2007
Purpose : It has been described that the incidence of breastfeeding jaundice is 13% and that of breast milk jaundice is 2%. The incidence in Korea was believed to be higher, but there were no studies to prove this assumption. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of jaundice of healthy breastfed full-term infants in Korea. Methods :...
Clinical observation of meconium aspiration syndrome and effect of suctioning through endotracheal intubation on prognosis of meconium aspiration syndrome
Yong Ho Yoon, Kyung Ah Kim, Sun Young Ko, Yeon Kyung Lee, Son Moon Shin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(10):959-964.   Published online October 15, 2007
Purpose : The purpose was to investigate the clinical considerations of patients affected by meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) and the effect of suctioning through endotracheal intubation immediately after delivery on the prognosis of MAS. Methods : A total of 44 inpatients diagnosed as MAS in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Cheil Hospital were selected from January 2004 to...
Usefulness of the transcutaneous bilirubinometer during phototherapy in neonatal jaundice
Yung Kwun Lee, Kyung Ah Kim, Sun Young Ko, Yeon Kyung Lee, Son Moon Shin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(12):1296-1300.   Published online December 15, 2006
Purpose : We studied the usefulness of transcutaneous bilirubinometers in follow-up of bilirubin levels during phototherapy in neonatal jaundice patients. Methods : Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured twice per day on 90 neonatal jaundice patients without risk factors of jaundice by transcutaneous bilirubinometer JM-103(Minolta/Hill-Rom Air-shields, Japan). TcB was measured simultaneously on the patched-forehead (TcB-PF), patched- chest(TcB-PC), unpatched-forehead (TcB-UF) and unpatched-chest (TcB-UC)...
Analysis of newborn hearing screening using automated auditory brainstem response
Sung Won Park, Byung Ho Yun, Kyung Ah Kim, Sun Young Ko, Yeon Kyung Lee, Son Moon Shin, Sung Hwa Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(10):1056-1060.   Published online October 15, 2006
Purpose : As hearing ability affects language and cognitive development, early detection and intervention of congenital hearing defects is very important. We analyzed the result of newborn hearing screening using automated auditory brainstem response and estimated the incidence of congenital hearing defects in newborn infants in Korea. Methods : Hearing screening tests were done on 7,218 newborn infants who were...
Catch-up growth and development of very low birth weight infants
Tae Ho Ma, Kyung Ah Kim, Sun Young Ko, Yeon Kyung Lee, Son Moon Shin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(1):29-33.   Published online January 15, 2006
Purpose : The aim of this study was to analyze the results and contributing factors of catch-up growth in very low birth weight infants(VLBWI) at the corrected age of 2 years. In addition, we looked for a relationship between the catch-up growth and the development by the bayley scales of infant development II(BSID II). Methods : A retrospective analysis by...
The Developmental Outcome of Fetal Mild Isolated Ventriculomegaly

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(8):826-831.   Published online August 15, 2005
Purpose : This study is directed to evaluate standardized developmental test performances of infants and children who, as fetuses, had mild isolated cerebral ventriculomegaly diagnosed by ultrasound. Methods : All prenatal sonographic findings from 2001 to 2002 were evaluated. Live isolated mild ventriculomegaly(IMVM) of 10-15 mm were observed in 95 cases(1.1 percent). Standardized developmental testing of 40 cases of IMVM and...
Usefulness of the Transcutaneous Bilirubinometer in Neonatal Jaundice
Joo Ran An, Sung Won Park, Hee Chul Lee, Kyung Ah Kim, Sun Young Ko, Yeon Kyung Lee, Son Moon Shin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(12):1287-1292.   Published online December 15, 2004
Purpose : To test the usefulness of a new jaundice meter, the JM-103(Minolta/Hill-Rom Air-shields, Japan) which uses a new probe to compensate for different skin pigmentation or thickness, and displayed actual bilirubin level instead of an index number as in the previous model, the JM-102, we compared transcutaneous bilirubin(TCB) with plasma bilirubin(PB) in newborn infants. Methods : TCB was measured on...
A Nationwide Survey on the Causative Organisms of Neonatal Sepsis in Korea
