Effect of Surfactant Therapy Using Orogastric Tube for Tracheal Catheterization in Preterm Newborns with Respiratory Distress.

Objective: To assess the outcome of a modified method of Minimally Invasive Surfactant Therapy (MIST) therapy where an orogastric tube was used for tracheal catherization to deliver surfactant in preterm newborns less than 34 wk of gestation with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).

Methods: A single centre, prospective observational study was conducted to enroll eligible inborn preterm neonates with gestation age more than 24 wk but less than 34 wk and suffering from RDS to receive surfactant using MIST. Results were compared with a historical cohort of preterms who received surfactant with InSurE (Intubate, Surfactant, Extubate) technique.

Type 0 spinal muscular atrophy with multisystem involvement.

Background: The classical forms of severe SMA type 0 is well recognised by Pediatricians.

Observations: Homozygous absence of exons 7 of the Survival Motor Neuron I gene.

Askin's Tumor: A Dual Case Study.
