Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (NRDS), also known as hyaline membrane disease (HMD), is caused primarily by a lack of pulmonary surfactant in premature infants. This leads to respiratory distress within hours after birth. The condition is characterized by rapid breathing, nasal flaring, and chest retractions. Treatment involves surfactant replacement therapy, respiratory support through CPAP or mechanical ventilation, maintaining proper acid-base balance and temperature control, and preventing infections. While treatment has improved survival rates, complications remain common in severe cases of NRDS.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Occur virtually exclusively in premature
neonate
The shorter the gestational age and the
lower birth weight, the higher incidence,
the less likely survival.

lowers the surface
tension of the
alveolar membrane.
maintains patent
distal lung units at
low volumes during
expiration.
Increase in lung
compliance.
The Actions of pulmonary Surfactant:
normal abnormal
end expiratory
8. 8
Pulmonary Surfactant
PS is produced by alveolar type Ⅱcells
At 24thweeks : begin to increase progressively
with advancing gestational age
At 34th-36thweeks : large increase
9. 9
The other factors
Genetic factors: white race, history of
RDS in sibling, male sex.
severe RDS---can not be cured----die
Hormones factors
(adrenergic and steroid hormones can
promote PS production and release )
elective cesarean section
10. 10
Without surfactant the alveoli collapse at
the end of expiration.
Pulmonary hypertension
So, absence of surfactant cause hypoxia,
acidosis, blood vessel contract , capillary vessel
and alveolus osmosis increase, blood plasma
leak, transparent membrane come into being,
dyspnea, RDS
Pathogenesis
11. 11
absence of surfactant hypoxia,
acidosis blood vessel contract
capillary vessel and alveolus osmosis
increase blood plasma leak
transparent membrane come into
being dyspnea.
So, absence of surfactant cause NRDS
12. 12
This in turn leads to respiratory
failure .
In older infants surfactant
deficiency can arise when they
develop asphyxia 、 shock and
acidosis.
13. 13
Pathology
Generalized capillary leak and mucosal
necrosis leads to the small air filled
terminal airways.
The respiratory bronchioles and alveolar
ducts, being surrounded by collapsed
alveoli filled with debris in a near
uniform distribution, and this leads to the
classic "ground glass" appearance on the
chest X-ray.
14. 14
The NRDS affects the lung which is
not mature at delivery.
Signs of respiratory distress appear
in 2-6hr after birth.
Many of the patients appear signs
within minutes of birth---shallow
respirations are more than 60/min .
Sign
15. 15
Infants have physical findings of
prematurity and present with
inspiratory supraclavicular ,
suprasternal and intercostals
retractions (three depression signs)
17. 17
progressing to a paradoxical seesaw
respiratory pattern in which the chest
sinks is on inspiration as the abdomen
balloons upward.
Expiratory grunting, tachypnea, flaring
of the Nasal ala and requirement for
oxygen completes the clinical picture.
18. 18
As the infant’s energy reserves
become depleted, there may be
cessation of grunting.
19. 19
Hypoperfusion and poor capillary
filling may progress to hypotension
and shock unless intervention is
aggressive.
In most cases, the signs and
symptoms may reach a peak within
3 days, followed by gradual
resolution over the next 5-7days.
20. 20
If the condition is inadequately
treated, blood pressure and body
temperature may fall.
Death is rare on the first day, usually
occurs between days 2-7.
22. 22
Complications
PDA
Cardiac failure caused by a left-to-
right shunt through a patent ductus
arteriosus.
Pneumothorax
Chronic lung disease
23. 23
Laboratory examination
1. Chest X-ray :
changes usually appear shortly after
birth, but can be delayed for 12-24 hours.
The typical pattern at 6-12 hour.
Ground glass appearance
Air bronchograms
White lung
27. 27
2. Gastric aspirate shake (Foam test):
Put 1ml gastric fluid and 1ml 95%
alcohol into a tube, shake 15 seconds
and keep still 15 minutes. If there is
foam around the wall of the tube, it is
positive. If not--negative.
28. 28
3. Test of PS:
Test amniotic fluid or tracheal fluid
for lecithin / sphingomyelin. L/S ≥2
denotes mature lung, L/S <1.5
denotes immature lung, between 1.5
and 2 denotes doubtful.

4. Gastric aspirate shake: Negative
5. Blood gas and acid-base values:
hypoxemia, hypercarbia and metabolic acidosis.

Differential Diagnosis of NRDS
1. GBS Infection pneumonia (Congenital pneumonia)
– Pneumonia causes by group B streptococcus (GBS).
Same signs of NRDS .
– The chest X-ray may be identical in both diseases.
The onset and the manifestations of respiratory
distress are often indistinguishable. Apnea in the
first few hours is more likely in GBS pneumonia.
– Bacterial culture
32. 32
Sepsis risk factors
– Maternal fever, cough
– Leukocytosis or leukopenia with
neutropenia strongly suggests the presence
of GBS infection.
– Sometimes GBS can be found in gastric
fluid.
33. 33
2.Wet Lung
Usually lung fluid is cleared from the interstitial
space veins and lymphatics within 30 minutes
after birth.
Chest X-ray, usually has non-homogeneous
densities, may have interlobar effusion .
Clinical manifestations appear within several
hours after birth, but are milder than HMD.
35. 35
3.Meconium aspiration
Common in full term infant or postterm infant
Gasping cause is the aspiration
Chemical diffuse pneumonitis
Chest X-ray, patchy areas of decreased aeration
alternating with hyperventilation areas
Treatment mainly supportive
37. 37
Therapy
1. General Comments
Therapy of hyaline membrane
disease (HMD) is complex.
Major responsibility befalls nurses.
Blood gases and pH should be check
according to necessary.
38. 38
2.Surfactant Replacement
Endotracheal instillation of surfactant
replacement has dramatically improved
survival and reduced the incidence of
pulmonary air leaks.
100-200mg/kg drop in bronchi of both sides 2-
4 times.
Curosurf (irrigating solution of piggy lung)
Calsurf (irrigating solution of calf lung)
39. 39
3. Other treatment
1) Respiratory Support
a. Nasal oxygen catheter (Flow: 0.5-1L/min)
Warm humidified oxygen should be provided
to maintain :
PaO2 between 50 and 70 mmHg
pH above 7.25
PaCO2 between 45 and 50 mmHg.
40. 40
b. CPAP(Continuos Positive Airway
Pressure ):
PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure) :
4-10cm H2O.
rhinobyon
Air and
o2mixer
4-10cmH2O
42. 42
b. Mechanical ventilation : After CPAP (FiO2>60%),
if PaO2<6.7Kpa (50mmHg) or PaCO2>7.9Kpa
(60mmHg), ventilation should be used.
SIPPV (Synchronized Intermittent Positive
Pressure Ventilation )
SIMV (Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory
Ventilation )
43. 43
2) Acid-base Balance
– A metabolic acidosis can be prevented
by adding a small quantity of sodium
bicarbonate.
– Formula
5% NaHCO3 3- 5ml/kg, one time, IV
5%NaHCO3 (mmol) = -BE ×0.3× kg
5%NaHCO3 (ml) = -BE × 0.5 × kg
44. 44
3) Keep Body Temperature
Maintenance of a neutral thermal
environment ( skin temperature
between 36.2-36.8℃) is of crucial
importance.
45. 45
4) Nutrition
– During the first 24 to 48 hours, caloric
needs are partially met by continuous
intravenous infusion. volumes are 60-80
ml/kg/d.
– Ensure that the blood sugar is maintained
within a normal range(>2.5mmol/L).
– If bowel sounds are audible and meconium
has been passed, the milk should be fed.
47. 47
Preventive measures
1. Prevent Premature Deliveries.
Including :
avoidance of unnecessary or pool timed
cesarean section
appropriate management of high-risk
pregnancy and labor
prediction possible in uterus acceleration
of pulmonary immaturity.
48. 48
2. Administration of Corticosteroids
There is good evidence that the
administration of corticosteroids to
mothers who are in premature labor to
diminish the incidence of NRDS. Their
effect is maximal at gestational ages
between 28 and 32 weeks. Steroids should
be administered between 24 hours and
7days before delivery.
