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).... |

In 1946, Potter described a series of 20 cases of infants in whom bilateral absence of the kidneys was associated with hypoplasia of the lungs and characteristic faces. Afterwards it has been known that any condition that causes significant reduction in urine formation or excretion will result in oligohydramnios accounts for many of the nonrenal features of Potter syndorme. We report a case... |
During abdominal palpation in the 50 full term neonates, blood pressure changes were measured by automatic oscillometric blood pressure monitor. The systolic blood pressure value at resting stage was 61.2 ±2.9 mmHg, and during the liver, the left kidney and the bladder palpation, it was signifi- cantly elevated to 67.2±4.7 mmHg, 68.1 ±4.8 mmHg, 69.0±4.6 mmHg respectively (P< 0.005). The diastoloic pressure value at... |

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... |
Isoimmune hemolytic disease of the newborn is a disease which is caused by maternal sensitization to one of the fetal blood factors. This report presented two esses of isoimmune hemolytic disease due to anti-E in 2 male newborns who were admitted to Seoul University Hospital because of jaundice. Antibody screening and antibody identification tests were made which revealed anti-E antibody... |

Although pediatrics has been advanced progressively in the past years, congenital malformations are known as a major cause of neonatal death. In spite of every efforts of pediatricians and obstetricians to exclude the possible factors of congenital malformations by antenatal care, the general incidence of congenital malformations has not been decreased yet. So, we surveyed the incidence of congenital malformations... |

Clinically, it is often required to identify that neonates are small, appropriate, or large-for- gestational age, since the clinical course, outcome, and problems are quite different in each group of infants. For this, accurate estimation of gestational age is required in addition to birth weight. Several methods to assess the gestational age based on the physical and neurological char- acteristics of neonates have been developed... |
Daylight phototherapy group (27 newborn infant) were compared with blue light photother- apy group (43 newborn infant) in serum total bilirubin decrements with phototherapy.; study A.

Premature separation of the placenta(abruptio placentae), as a serious obstetric complication, has been recognized to be associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC) in the newborn period. However, pathologic evidence for DIC generally has been lacking or rarely reported. Recently we have experienced one case of DIC in an infant born after abruptio placentae. The infant had suffered from cyanosis, dyspnea and... |
The hyaline membrane disease is not a common disease in Korea. Only a few reports of small scale are avaiable in the literature. We have experienced 5 cases of HMD during approximately 1 year period. The diagnosis was made either on characteristic clinical and roentgenological features or postmortem examination. The birth weights of these cases were in the range of... |

He also had characteristic angiographic picture: occlusion of supraclinoid segment of both internal carotid arteries, combined with collateral networks in the base of brain. |
The bilirubin formed in utero by the fetus can cross the placena and be excreted by the maternal liver. After birth, however, the infant must excrete its own bilirubin and hepatic clearance is not sufficient to prevent its accumulation during first week of life This transition has been physiologic jaundice and defined as an elevation of serum bilirubin that does... |
