Detailed examination of early development and growth of Cuban gar (Atractosteus tristoechus) was conducted using morphologic and morphometric characters. Larvae were reared at a constant water temperature (28 ± 1°C) from hatching to 18 days after hatching (DAH). Observation of the disappearance, reduction, or appearance of external structures, pigment characteristics, and behavior, identified three developmental stages (attached 0-3 DAH; transitional 4-10 DAH; and free-swimming 11-18 DAH).

Exogenous lung surfactant has transformed HMD therapy in developed countries, but an equivalent benefit has not been accomplished in developing countries due to a variety of factors. Porcine surfactant developed in Cuba is an inexpensive alternative to other surfactants, and its use has not been studied in our settings.

A national sample of children who died before their first year of age (cases) and a sample of survivors (controls) was selected for the study. A logistic regression approach was used to estimate relative and attributable risks.
