neonatal sepsis/アルブミン

Sepsis is one of the most common infectious conditions in the neonatal period, and continues as a major source of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to determine serum ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels in late-onset neonatal sepsis at the time of diagnosis and after therapy, and

OBJECTIVE To investigate the adverse effects of ciprofloxacin administered to neonates with sepsis on the hematologic indices, the hepatic and renal function and the joints and growth at 1 year follow-up. METHODS In this observational prospective study, 2 groups of septic neonates were studied, 116

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) refers to abnormal glucose tolerance, which is a common complication that occurs in some women for the first time during the gestation period. However, the relationship between onset of GDM and factors including advanced age and a family history of diabetes

Background: Despite recent advances in the treatment of neonatal infection, mortality rates and comorbidities associated with neonatal sepsis remain high. Hypocalcemia has been reported in critically ill patients, especially in

Septicaemia is a major threat to survival during the early stages of life. There are several reports that suggest that reactive oxygen species (ROs) play a role in a wide variety of diseases. We estimated the activity of xanthine oxidase (XO), malondialdehyde (MDA) content, creatine phosphokinase

OBJECTIVE In a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study, we evaluated the prevention of neonatal infections with intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIgG) prophylaxis for preterm infants (gestational age <33 weeks) with umbilical cord blood IgG levels < or =4

The incidence and prevalence of sepsis depend on the definitions and records that we use and we may be underestimating their impact. Up to 60% of the cases come from the community and in 30-60% we obtain microbiological information. Sometimes its presentation is ambiguous and there may be a delay in

Objective: To investigate the significance of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the early assessment of neonatal cardiac dysfunction in sepsis. Methods:

The efficacy of ceftazidime in the treatment of neonatal sepsis was studied in 42 low birthweight premature babies. Forty-nine courses of ceftazidime (25 mg/kg bd, iv or im were administered. In 19 babies, treatment was stopped after 48 h, the remainder were treated for 5 days or more. Six neonates

Objective: Acute bilirubin encephalopathy (ABE) remains one of the important causes of neonatal mortality and child disability, early identification, and intervention which could improve outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate early predictors of

The isoxazolyl penicillins, including flucloxacillin, have the highest levels of plasma protein binding among the semisynthetic penicillins. Because only the free fraction of the penicillin is pharmacologically active, it would be useful to measure both protein-bound and free flucloxacillin to

Klebsiella pneumoniae, a worldwide cause of nosocomial infections, is one of the most common causes of death in newborns in nurseries. In this study, we investigated the role of interleukin-1 (IL-1) in an experimental animal model of neonatal sepsis, using a natural antagonist of IL-1 receptors, the
