Effect of Kangaroo Position on microcirculation of preterm newborns: a controlled randomized clinical trial.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Kangaroo Position (KP) in microcirculation (MC) of the flexor muscles of preterm newborns.

Method: A controlled clinical trial was conducted in the city of Recife, Brazil, with 26 preterm children randomized in the Kangaroo Group (13) and in the Control Group (13). Assessments of blood flow, temperature, and tissue oxygen saturation (SO) were made at two different times and in the biceps brachii muscle and hamstrings muscle group: before the KP and after 24 h of KP.

Short-time effect of the kangaroo position on electromyographic activity of premature infants: a randomized clinical trial.

Objective: To verify the short-term influence of the kangaroo position (KP) on the electromyography activity of preterm newborns.

Method: A clinical study was conducted in a kangaroo unit sector (secondary and tertiary care) in the city of Recife, Brazil, with 44 preterm infants randomized to intervention (n=21) and control (n=23) groups. The KP was performed through a band that supports the newborn against the adult's thorax, in a prone and vertical position, and infants were dressed with few pieces of clothes, thus keeping skin-to-skin contact with the mother.

Electromyographic activity of preterm newborns in the kangaroo position: a cohort study.

Objective: To compare the electromyographic activity of preterm newborns placed in the kangaroo position with the activity of newborns not placed in this position.

Design: A cohort study.

Setting: A Kangaroo Unit sector and a Nursery sector in a secondary and tertiary care at a mother-child hospital in Recife, Brazil.

Effect of the kangaroo position on the electromyographic activity of preterm children: a follow-up study.

Background: One of the components of the Kangaroo Method (KM) is the adoption of the Kangaroo Position. The skin-to-skin contact and the vertical position the child adopts when in this position may provide sensorial, vestibular and postural stimuli for the newborn. The Kangaroo Position may encourage vestibular stimuli and a flexed posture of the limbs, suggesting the hypothesis that the Kangaroo Position may have an impact on flexor muscle tone.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is associated with subclinical peripheral neural alterations.

Objective: Some case reports have suggested primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and peripheral polyneuropathy (PPN) are associated; however, there are no reports of studies examining this possible relationship. The aim of this study was to evaluate peripheral nerve conduction in subjects with PHPT.

Methods: The study involved 17 patients with PHPT.
