Mosaic trisomy 14 and aorta-pulmonary window association: A case report.

Trisomy 14 mosaicism is a rare chromosomal abnormality with distinct and recognizable clinical features. Congenital heart anomalies can accompany in this syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of mosaic trisomy 14 with an aortopulmonary window to be described in the literature.

Glanzmann Thrombasthenia in a Newborn with Heterozygous Factor V Leiden and Heterozygous MTHFR C677T Gene Mutations.

Introduction: Glanzmann thrombasthenia is a rare congenital platelet dysfunction.

Case Characteristics: A 2-day-old male neonate delivered at 35 weeks' gestation was referred with extensive bruising and jaundice. His elder sibling had Glanzmann thrombasthenia, and his mother had thrombophilic risk factors.

A congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder: Möbius' syndrome.

Möbius' syndrome, also known as Möbius' sequence, is a nonprogressive cranial dysinnervation disorder characterized by congenital facial and abducens nerve paralysis. Here, we report a 5-day-old girl who was conceived after in vitro fertilization with poor suck and facial paralysis. She had bilaterally ptosis and lateral gaze limitation, left-sided deviation of the tongue, dysmorphic face, hypoplastic fingers and finger nails on the left hand, and was diagnosed as having Möbius' syndrome.

Total antioxidant, total oxidant and serum paraoxonase levels according to lipid administration method in parenterally fed premature infants.

Objective: The aim of our study was to determine whether lipid solutions delivered separately or in mixture with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions effect the balance between oxidant and antioxidant levels in premature infants.

Methods: A total of 60 preterm newborns who were delivered at their 30-34 gestational weeks and received TPN were included in the study. Premature newborns were randomized into two groups based on the delivery method of the lipid solution, separately (Group 1) or in mixture with TPN solutions (Group 2).

Effects of Prednisolone, L-Asparaginase, Gemfibrozil, and Combinations of These Elements on Mice Lipid Profile, Liver, and Pancreas.

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of L-asparaginase (L-ASP), corticosteroids (CSs), and antilipidemics, separately and in combination, on the lipid profiles and the liver and pancreas histology in mice. This study included 8 groups of 7 mice each. Before any drug administration, serum samples were taken from all of the mice.

Late-onset Streptococcus pasteurianus sepsis in a preterm baby in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Apnea, cyanosis, lethargy and prolongation in capillary filling time developed on the postnatal 37(th) day in a preterm baby who was born at the 30(th) gestational week with a birth weight of 1 300 g. Acute phase reactants and immature/total neutrophil count ratio were found to be high. The patient who was diagnosed with sepsis was successfully treated with meropenem which was started empirically.
