Use of Therapeutic Hypothermia in Sudden Unexpected Postnatal Collapse: a Retro...

Introduction: Sudden and unexpected postnatal collapse is a rare event with potentially dramatic consequences. Intervention approaches are limited, but hypothermia has been considered after postnatal collapse. The aim of this study was to analyse sudden and unexpected postnatal collapse cases that underwent therapeutic hypothermia in the five Portuguese hypothermia centres. Material and methods: In this multice...

Small for gestational age very preterm infants present a higher risk of develop...

INTRODUCTION: Several studies assessed the influence of a low birth weight on bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), but not all could find a significant association. Our aim was to assess the association between low birth weight and BPD in preterm infants, prospectively recruited at 11 level III Portuguese neonatal centers. METHODS: Obstetrical and neonatal data on mothers and preterm infants with gestational ages ...

Perfusion index in preterm newborns: predictive value for morbimortality and as...

Introduction: Perfusion index (PI) is a noninvasive indirect method of microcirculation measurement that might have a potential to predict morbimortality in preterm newborns. This study aims: 1) to define a critical value for post-ductal PI related to the morbimortality in preterm newborns under 32 weeks; 2) to define a prognostic value for post-ductal PI to predict that risk of morbimortality; and 3) to associ...

Risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia in five portuguese neonatal intensi...

The pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is clearly multifactorial. Specific pathogenic risk factors are prematurity, respiratory distress, oxygen supplementation, mechanical ventilation (MV), inflammation, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), etc. AIM: To evaluate BPD prevalence and to identify risk factors for BPD in five Portuguese Neonatal Intensive Care Units in order to develop better practices the...

Dysgenetic male pseudohermaphroditism.

Dysgenetic male pseudohermaphroditism is the result of a defect of testis development that encompasses a large clinical heterogeneity. It is characterized by bilateral dysgenetic testis, absence of mullerian regression, ambiguous genitalia and/or stigmata of Turner's syndrome in the majority of the cases. Typically, these individuals have either a 46,XY or 45,X/46,XY karyotype. The authors present four cases of...
