Comparison of cord blood alarin levels of full-term infants according to birth weight.

Objectives: To compare the cord blood alarin levels of infants in different birth weight groups with those of infants born to mothers diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) who were not subgrouped according to birth weight.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted between September 2023 and January 2024. Healthy term babies whose families agreed to participate in the study were divided into four groups according to their birth weight (small for gestational age (SGA), appropriate for gestational age (AGA) and large for gestational age (LGA)) and whether their mothers had GDM.

Malnutrition prevalence in hospitalized pediatric patients: A comparison of national and World Health Organization growth standards.

Background: The aim of the study was to investigate the frequency of malnutrition in hospitalized children and compare national growth standards with World Health Organization (WHO) standards.

Methods: After obtaining height, weight, and mid-upper arm circumference values for 250 children aged 1 month to 5 years, nutrition status was assessed separately according to Neyzi and WHO standards. Weight-for-age z score (WAZ), weight-for-height z score (WHZ), height-for-age z score (HAZ), and mid-upper arm circumference z score (MUACz) were calculated based on age.

Evaluation of neonatal outcomes according to the specific absorption rate values of phones used during pregnancy.

Objective: The aim was to compare neonatal outcomes according to cell phone specific absorption rate (SAR) levels and daily time spent on cell phones by pregnant women.

Material And Methods: Women who gave birth at Konya City Hospital between September 2020 and February 2021 were included in this retrospective study. Gestational ages, birth weight, birth length, head circumference, sex, 5-minute APGAR scores, neonate postpartum resuscitation requirement, delivery type, the model of phone used by the pregnant women, and the average time spent on the phone during a day were recorded.

Comparison of urine bisphenol A levels in transient tachypnea of the newborn and healthy newborns.

Background: To investigate the relationship between neonatal urine bisphenol A (BPA) levels and the prevalence and prognosis of transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN).

Methods: This prospective study was conducted between January and April 2020 in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Gaziantep Cengiz Gökçek Obstetrics and Pediatric Hospital. The study group consisted of patients diagnosed with TTN and the control group was made up of healthy neonates housed together with their mothers.

Neonatal outcomes of early- and late-onset preeclampsia.

Background: The aim of the current study was to demonstrate the neonatal outcomes of infants born to mothers with early-onset preeclampsia (EP) and late-onset preeclampsia (LP), and compare the neonatal outcomes before and after 34 weeks of gestation in EP group.

Methods: In this retrospective study, we evaluated preeclamptic mother and child pairs who were followedup at Hacettepe University Hospital between the years 2010 and 2017. The pregnant women were classified as having EP if diagnosed before 34 weeks of gestation (n=91) and LP if diagnosed after 34 weeks of gestation (n=34).

Cord blood delta neutrophil index values of term neonates.

In this study, we aimed to demonstrate cord blood immature granulocyte (IG) count and delta neutrophil index (DNI) values for term neonates. This retrospective study consisted of 126 term newborns born between July 2017 and December 2017. Cord blood samples were collected during delivery and IG count together with DNI values were obtained.

A new use of GG administration in the NICU: colonized vancomycin-resistant enterococcus eradication in the gastrointestinal system.

Introduction: Enterococci are microbiota microorganisms that normally have low virulence; however, under some conditions they may cause community-acquired urinary tract and even hospital-acquired serious infections. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) can cause aggressive infections in immunosuppressive patients; especially in newborns in intensive care units. Asymptomatic gastrointestinal system carriers are important sources of VRE.

Congenital central nervous system anomalies: Ten-year single center experience on a challenging issue in perinatal medicine.

Objective: Our goal was to highlight the prenatal diagnosis and management of central nervous system (CNS) anomalies through sharing our clinic’s experience.

Material And Methods: We evaluated prenatal findings and postnatal outcomes of neonates who had a CNS anomaly diagnosis in our clinic over a ten-year period. A total of 183 cases with various CNS anomalies were included in the study.

Are Congenital Urinary Tract Abnormalities Linked to Maternal Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Polymorphisms in Fetuses of Intentionally Terminated Pregnancies with Oligo- or Anhydramnios ?

Objective: We aimed to evaluate fetuses of terminated pregnancies with oligo-or anhydramnios (OAH) to further investigate the association between maternal methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms and fetal urinary tract malformations.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 16 pregnancies with OAH (with normal fetal karyotype) that were intentionally terminated before 22nd gestational week. Fetal autopsy was performed in all cases.

Normoblastemia multinuclear en un recién nacido secundaria a hipoxia.

Normoblasts may be seen in peripheral blood smear of newborns. The number of normoblasts per 100 white blood cells is generally in the range of 0-10.They can be seen more common than usual in hypoxic condition, because intrauterine hypoxia increases the production of red blood cells.
