Twins
Oh Kyung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(7):685-690.   Published online July 15, 2005
Recently, twinning rate increases in Korea since the early 1990s by delayed marriage and prevailing of assisted reproductive technology. But twin and higher-order multiples are at increased risk for perinatal and neonatal mortality over 5 fold despite of dramatic improvement of perinatal and neonatal care. Because twins are born more prematurely and have lower birth weights than singleton. In addition,...

Comparison of Rehospitalization during the First Year of Life in Normal and Low Birth Weight Infants Discharged from NICU
Sae Ah Min, Myung Won Jeon, Sun Hee Yu, Oh Kyung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(12):1503-1511.   Published online December 15, 2002
Purpose : Although the short- and long-term outcomes of low birth weight(LBW) neonatal intensive care unit(NICU) survivors have been extensively studied, much less information is available for normal birth weight(NBW) infants(greater than 2,500 gm) who require NICU care. Methods : We retrospectively examined the neonatal hospitalizations and one year health status of 302 NBW and 131 LBW admissions to our...

Seon Ja Cho, Kang Ho Lee, Myoung Jin Ju, Oh Kyung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(9):1052-1056.   Published online September 15, 2001

More particularly, duplications involving the pylorus are extremely rare. These are characterized by firm attachment to at least one point of the alimentary tract with a well developed coat of smooth muscle and mucous membrane. The most frequent presentation is an abdominal mass with vomiting, mainly discovered...
A Case of Primary Multiple Intracerebral Aspergillosis Abscess in Neonate : Treatment with Amphotericin B, Flucytosine and Itraconazole
