| In order to estimate the influence of systemic hemodynamic change in cerebral blood flow before and after closure of ductus arteriosus in premature mewborn infants, blood flow velocities of internal carotid artery (ICA), anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) were measured in 17 premature newborn infants by pulsed Doppler ultrasonography. The data was compared with those of normal full-term infants by... |
| We conducted a clinical controlled trial of exogenous surfactant replacement therapy in premature infants with hyaline membrane disease at the neonatal intensive care unit of Yonsei University Medical Center form Nov. 1987 to May 1988. Sixteen premature infants with severe HMD were randomly assigned to control group or surfactant-treated group. Eight infants (mean gestational age 29.9±2.8 week, mean birth weight 1, 425±308.9 gm) were given... |
| We measured body temperatures and stabilization times of 100 term and 52 preterm infants at four sites. The sites were core, aural, rectal and axilla in order of degree of temperature. There was significant difference between term and preterm infants (term infant higher, p<0.001). Mean difference between axillary and rectal temperatures was 0.501C(rectal higher). Mean difference between rectal and core temperatures was 0.10lC(core higher).... |
| Generally, infant of diabetic mother (IDM) have complex multisystems disease resulting in a high incidence of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)-IDM appears as the early onset, transient and non-familial cariomyopathy in neonatal period. The etiology of the left ventricular outflow obstruction in these neonates is not clear. But, it is possible that the asymmetrical septal hypertrophy was a manifestation of the generalized... |
| We experienced two cases of spinal muscular atrophy, type 2 in 1 year 11 months old boy and 4 year 1 month old girl with the complaint of progressive muscular weakness on both lower extremities (frog leg position). Their development had been almost normal since birth and they could stand alone briefly at 12 months of age, but progressive muscular weakness had been apparent... |
| llq deletion syndrome is a rare chromosomal anomaly. The authors experienced a case of llq deletion syndrome with congenital glaucoma and infantile spasm in a female child. She showed delayed psychomotor development, flat occiput, hypertelorism, low set malformed ears, flat nasal bridge, short neck, simian line on right palm and throm. bocytopenia. Chromosomal study showed the deletion of the long arm of chromosme 11, karyotypically... |
| Uninary tract infection as one of the common infectious disease all through the childhood and can be the cause of febrile illnesses. During infancy, the diagnosis of UTI is easily overooked because of relative lack of charateristic urinary symptoms. But UTI was found to cause longterm sequelae more often in infancy than later. We studied 258 cases of febrile infants and 345 cases of... |
| Serial neurosonographic examinations were performed in 34 low birth weight infants who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Yong-Dong Severance Hospital. Among them, 14 (41 %)were found to have periventicular-intraventricular hemorrhage. The initial hemorrhage occured in the first three days of life among 71% infants. After initial hemorrhage, hemorrhage was decreased in size and thereafter absorbed. Fourteen (44%) infants demonsrated cysts... |
| Recently we have experienced a case of infantile cortical hyperostosis. The patients was 2 months old male who complained irritability, soft tissue swelling of both lower extremities. X-ray showed periosteal new bone formation on both tibiae. Bone scan revealed hot uptake at the lesion. We are reporting this infantile cortical hyperostosis with reviewing literatures. |

The results were as follows; 1) The incidence of VLBWI in the 27,170 births was 1.0%, and there was no annual variation. 2) Among 10,749 multiparaty there was a higher incidence of VLBWI (1.4%) compared to that in primiparity... |
| The clinical study on the results of intensive care was performed on the 137 very low birth weight infants with birth weight of 1001-1500 gram who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Severance hospital from 1981 to 1986. The results were as follows. 1) The range of gestational age of very low birth weight infants was from 22 to 40 weeks, most predominantly... |
| We have experienced 2 cases of infantile spasms treated with ACTH. They were diagnosed as cryptogenic type within relatively short duration after the onset. With the administration of ACTH, flexor spasms and hypsarrhythmia disappeared. They did not demonstrate any intellectual impair- ment on OPD follow up study. A brief review of literatures was made. |
| Developmental problems are relatively prevalent and often treatable if early interventions are to be given. Much better prognosis will also be given if they are treated early & properly by early detection through the use of the developmental screening test. Developmental screening is the application of relatively quick and simple procedures to an asymptomatic population to select out those individuals who are highly likely... |
| An analysis of incidence requiring resuscitation in relation to the indication of cesarean section in full-term deliveries were carried out retrospectively during 24 months from January 1984 to December 1985. The results obtained were as follows. 1) The overall incidence of cesarean delivery was 17.2% (397 cases out of 2,308 total deliveries) and the rate of full-term was 77.6% of total cesarean deliveries. 2) Among full-term cesarean delivered... |
| Early neonatal hypocalcemia occurs within the first few days of life, with the lowest concentrations of serum calcium being reached at 24 to 48 hours of age. An infant can be considered to be hypocalcemic when serum calcium concentrations are below 7 mg/dl or when ionized calcium concentrations are below 3 to 3.5 mg/dl. The most commonly encountered causes of neonatal hypocalcemia are prematurity,... |
| Real time ultrasound scans were performed on 54 low-birth weight infants within the 7th 'birth day. Fifty infants were inborn. The incidence of periventricular and intraventricular hemorrhage (PV-IVH) was 38.9%. Seven of 21 infants had mild hemorrhage (Papile, grade I and II): Others sustained severe hemorrhage(Papile, grade III and IV ). Low Apgar score, respirator care and use of dopamine... |
| Infantile cortical hyperostosis occurs in the first few months of life, and is characterized by hyperirritability, swellings of the soft tissues, and cortical thickenings of the underlying bones. It's cause is unknown. Recently we experienced a case of infantile cortical hyperostosis in a 2 month old male infant, who complained of irribility, anorexia, swellings and bowing deformities of the lower limbs. The diagnosis... |
| The inability to detect Korotkoff sounds in infants have in the past made it difficult for most pediatricians to measure blood pressures by indirect conventional sphygmomanometry. Now, however, Korotkoff sounds, or the mechanical events which produce them, can be sensed with an ultrasonic Doppler device. The author measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure using a Doppler arteriokinetog raphic instrument during 6... |
