Developmental dysplasia of the hip: Beyond the screening. Physical exam is our pending subject.

Introduction: Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a common cause of disability among children. Early detection leads to better prognosis. There are some risk factors that increase the possibility of developing a dysplasia.

[External influences on birth deliveries: Lunar gravitational and meteorological effects].

Objective: To investigate the influence of external factors such as lunar and meteorological effects on the frequency of birth deliveries. It includes the lunar gravitational force using the scarcely investigated lunar apogee and perigee (furthest and closest distance to earth, respectively).

Material And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of all spontaneous single deliveries during a 4 year period (2015-2018).

Bioelectrical impedance vector values in a Spanish healthy newborn population for nutritional assessment.

Introduction: Vector bioimpedance analysis (BIVA) can be very useful for the evaluation of body composition, hydration, and nutritional status in infants and newborns. The objective of this study was to determine the impedance vector distribution for a group of healthy newborn Spanish children.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted with 154 healthy, Spanish newborns (gestational age: 37-41 weeks) aged 24 to 72 hours (79 males, 75 females).

[Clinical observation of newborns with infection risk: A safe practice].

Introduction: Early-onset neonatal sepsis refers to an infection which starts during the first 72hours of birth, and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Scientific evidence shows that infected infants present with symptoms during the first hours after delivery. There has been a significant decrease in this condition with the implementation of guidelines for its prevention.

[Incidence and characteristics of tumours of the central nervous system among the paediatric population of Asturias. New data about an incidence on the rise].

Introduction: Tumours of the central nervous system (CNS) are one of the most common causes of child mortality, second only to accidents. In the last few decades we have witnessed an increase in the incidence of these tumours, which now stands at 2.5-3.
