Article Synopsis
- * The research, involving 4,536 infants, finds no significant differences in hearing outcomes between infants with asphyxia (pH < 7.20) and those with normal pH levels.
- * It concludes that mild to moderate asphyxia at delivery does not impact otoemission screening results in newborns without hearing risk factors, although lower Apgar scores are linked to lower pH levels.
Article Synopsis
- * Key socio-cultural and obstetric factors associated with maternal smoking include mothers’ age, education level, previous abortions, and type of delivery, all of which affect newborn health, particularly birth weight and the need for resuscitation.
- * Understanding the profile of pregnant smokers—typically young, less educated, and with previous miscarriages—can help design targeted interventions to reduce smoking rates and improve health outcomes for mothers and their babies.
Introduction: A critical analysis is performed on the results of a newborn hearing screening program in a regional hospital.
Patients: Screening results from 14,247 newborns in our maternity ward from 2002 to 2013.
Methods: Two step recordings of bilateral otoacoustic emissions (initial and repeat, if failed, at about one month of life).

Introduction And Aim: Immigration to Spain of Latin Americans with Chagas disease in its indeterminate phase could result in vertical transmission of the disease or transmission by transfusion or organ transplantation. To ascertain the magnitude of this problem, we investigated the prevalence of bearers among women who gave birth in 3 state maternity hospitals in the Valencian Community and the incidence of vertical transmission.
Patients And Methods: An immunoprecipitation test to detect anti-Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies was carried out on 624 pregnant Latin American women.
