1) Twelve fetal lambs were studied before and after their mothers were given either green tea or water for one week. 2) Echocardiography after one week showed signs of ductal constriction in all lambs whose mothers drank green tea, including increased ductal velocities and right ventricular enlargement. 3) Autopsies also showed enlarged and thickened right ventricles in lambs exposed to green tea compared to controls. Histology found the ductal medial avascular zone was significantly thicker in green tea lambs versus controls, indicating ductal constriction.
This study examined the relationship between maternal consumption of polyphenol-rich foods late in pregnancy and fetal ductus arteriosus flow dynamics. Doppler ultrasound was used to compare ductal velocities and right-to-left ventricular dimensions in 102 fetuses exposed to high maternal polyphenol intake versus 41 unexposed fetuses. Exposed fetuses had higher ductal velocities and right-to-left ventricular ratios, suggesting maternal polyphenol-rich food intake may influence fetal ductal dynamics by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, similarly to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. As polyphenol-rich foods are commonly consumed during pregnancy, their effects on the fetal ductus warrant further consideration.
Effect of polyphenols on the intestinal and placental transport of somegisa_legal
This document reviews the effect of polyphenols on the intestinal and placental transport of some bioactive compounds. It discusses how different classes of polyphenols can affect the transport of organic cations, glucose, thiamine, and folic acid across intestinal and placental barriers. The effects of polyphenols can vary depending on factors like acute vs chronic exposure, and how polyphenols interact when consumed together compared to individually. While most data is from in vitro studies, the review raises concerns about how polyphenol consumption may impact the bioavailability of other compounds.
This document summarizes an open clinical trial that tested the hypothesis that restricting polyphenol-rich foods (PRF) in maternal diets during the third trimester can reverse fetal ductal constriction (DC). The study found that 96% of fetuses with DC showed complete reversal after their mothers discontinued PRF for at least 3 weeks. Maternal PRF intake decreased significantly, while ductal blood flow parameters like velocity and pulsatility index normalized. In a control group where no dietary changes were made, ductal measurements did not significantly change. The results support that maternal PRF intake during pregnancy can cause DC through anti-inflammatory effects, and that restricting these foods can reverse the condition.
This study tested the hypothesis that restricting a pregnant woman's intake of polyphenol-rich foods for at least two weeks improves ductus arteriosus blood flow dynamics in healthy third-trimester fetuses, as was previously shown in fetuses with ductal constriction. 46 pregnant women restricted their polyphenol intake from an average of 1277 mg/day to 126 mg/day. Their fetuses showed significant decreases in ductal velocities and RV/LV ratio, and an increase in ductal pulsatility index. A control group of 26 women showed no significant changes. The study suggests that reducing maternal polyphenol intake improves fetal ductal hemodynamics in normal pregnancies.
This study aimed to validate a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) used in the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) to assess fruit, vegetable, and tea intake during pregnancy. The FFQ estimates were compared to urinary flavonoid levels, plasma carotenoid levels, and a 4-day weighed food diary (FD) completed by 119 pregnant women. Correlations were found between the FFQ and biomarkers for various food groups. Using the triangular method with two biomarkers, validity coefficients of 0.65 and 0.59 were calculated for the FFQ's ability to estimate citrus fruit/juice and cooked vegetable intake respectively. The study shows the MoBa FFQ can be used to estimate and rank
1) The study tested the hypothesis that maternal ingestion of green tea in late pregnancy causes fetal ductal constriction by inhibiting prostaglandins. 2) Echocardiography of fetal lambs exposed to green tea in utero showed signs of ductal constriction compared to controls. 3) Autopsies found dilated and hypertrophic right ventricles in lambs exposed to green tea, and histological analysis found thicker ductal walls in these lambs.
This study developed and validated a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to assess intake of polyphenol-rich foods in pregnant women in Brazil. 120 pregnant women participated in nutritional interviews on two occasions and provided urine samples. The FFQ included 52 foods and was compared to 24-hour recalls, 3-day food diaries, and urinary polyphenol levels. Analysis showed high reproducibility between the two FFQ administrations. Moderate to high correlations were found between the dietary assessment methods. A low but significant correlation was observed between the FFQ and urinary polyphenol levels. The study concluded that the FFQ is a valid tool for quantifying intake of total polyphenols in pregnant women.
1. The document discusses extended cycle oral contraceptives that provide contraception for 84 days by suppressing ovulation through a combination of ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel, followed by 7 days of placebo or low-dose estrogen pills.
2. Clinical trials showed that extended cycle pills were as effective at preventing pregnancy as conventional 28-day pills, with similar safety profiles. Adverse effects were mild and consistent with other combined oral contraceptives.
3. The extended cycle regimen was found to be over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when taken correctly, and resulted in less frequent bleeding and spotting compared to a 28-day regimen.

This document is a manuscript describing a study on the effects of maternal consumption of polyphenol-rich foods on fetal ductus arteriosus constriction in pregnant sheep. The study found that 2 weeks of polyphenol supplementation in pregnant sheep resulted in ductus arteriosus constriction in fetuses, accompanied by increased polyphenol excretion and decreased inflammatory markers in the mothers. It also observed changes in oxidative stress biomarkers in the mothers, despite some markers of oxidative damage being lower after supplementation. The results suggest that high maternal polyphenol intake can induce fetal ductal constriction through anti-inflammatory effects, and oxidative stress may be involved.
This study compared the effects of beractant and poractant surfactant treatments in 58 premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The main findings were:
1) Infants who received poractant had a lower oxygen requirement (FiO2) during the first 48 hours compared to infants who received beractant.
2) Infants who received poractant also had fewer cases of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) than infants who received beractant.
3) There was no significant difference between the groups in factors like time to first extubation, total intubation time, or rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
In this study, we focused on the effect of β-glucan supplementation of children with chronic respiratory problems. We measured the levels of cortisol, salivary IgE and cotinine in 56 children and evaluated the effect of 30 day supplementation with 100 mg/day oral dose of yeast-derived β-glucan. Our results showed strong decrease of cotinine and cortisol levels in saliva of β-glucan-supplemented children. The increase of total salivary IgE levels in both groups was not statistically significant. The positive effects of complex curative treatment using β-glucan were accompanied by increased physical endurance and by significant reduction of negative clinical problems of affected children.
1) The study examined the effect of probiotics in preventing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm neonates compared to a control group.
2) 115 preterm infants weighing 750-1500g or less than 32 weeks gestation received probiotics or did not (control). The probiotic group had significantly lower incidence of NEC and fewer cases of elevated C-reactive protein.
3) However, there were no significant differences between the groups in duration of oxygen therapy, total parenteral nutrition, time to full feeding, or length of hospital stay. The study results suggest probiotics have a protective effect against NEC in preterm infants.
This randomized controlled trial tested the efficacy of the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri in treating infantile colic in breastfed infants aged 2-16 weeks. It found that L. reuteri significantly reduced average daily crying time and increased the number of responders compared to placebo. Mechanisms may involve improving gut microbiota balance by reducing Escherichia coli and increasing Lactobacillus levels. The probiotic was well-tolerated with no significant differences in adverse events between groups. This study provides evidence that L. reuteri is an effective and safe treatment for infantile colic.

1) Pediatric patients have unique considerations for drug therapy due to ongoing development processes. Their organ systems, especially liver and kidney function, are still maturing and may metabolize and eliminate drugs differently than adults.
2) Some infamous past drug disasters in pediatrics, like the teratogenic effects of thalidomide, helped establish modern drug regulations requiring demonstrated safety and efficacy for pediatric populations.
3) Key pharmacokinetic processes like absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination vary substantially between pediatric age groups from neonates to adolescents due to developmental differences, necessitating careful study of appropriate dosing.
The EAT study was a randomized controlled trial that evaluated whether introducing common allergenic foods like peanut, egg, and milk earlier would prevent food allergies in breastfed infants compared to exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months. Over 1300 infants were randomly assigned at 3 months of age to either the early introduction group, which introduced the foods between 3-6 months, or the standard introduction group. The primary outcome was food allergy to one of the foods between 1-3 years of age. The intention-to-treat analysis found no significant difference in food allergy rates between the groups. However, per-protocol and consumption-based analyses raised the possibility that prevention may be dose-dependent.
Fibrinogen concentration and thrombin levels in pregnant women in nnewi, anam...Alexander Decker
This study examined fibrinogen concentration and thrombin time (TT) levels in 195 pregnant women in Nigeria compared to 150 non-pregnant women. Fibrinogen concentration and TT were significantly higher in pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women. Fibrinogen concentration and TT levels increased with each trimester of pregnancy and were highest in the third trimester. The increases in coagulation factors during pregnancy are likely due to hormonal changes and inflammation of pregnancy to prepare the body for potential blood loss during childbirth. Baseline measurements of these coagulation factors during antenatal visits could help detect any abnormalities.
This document summarizes three research projects related to blood pressure in vegetarians from an epidemiological and physiological perspective:
1. A cross-sectional study comparing blood pressure, diet, and lifestyle between Seventh-day Adventists and Mormons through questionnaires, diet records, and health screenings.
2. A laboratory study identifying possible differences in blood pressure control mechanisms between vegetarian Adventists and omnivorous Mormons through physiological stresses and measures of pressor and depressor substances.
3. A short-term dietary intervention study feeding a vegetarian diet to normotensive subjects and monitoring changes in blood pressure and biochemical/physiological parameters over 14 weeks.

Effects of moderate doses of vitamin A as an adjunct to the treatment of pneumonia in underweight and normal-weight children: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
This medical record review documents Jane Doe's prenatal care from December 2010 to March 2011. It notes her initial appointment where her blood pressure was high at 162/94. She was diagnosed with chronic hypertension. Throughout her visits her blood pressure remained elevated despite being prescribed Aldomet. Laboratory tests showed a vitamin D deficiency. The record documents her prenatal tests and screenings.
- Jane Doe presented for prenatal care on 12/9/10 and was found to have high blood pressure. Her blood pressure remained elevated throughout her pregnancy despite medication.
- Beginning in April 2011, she began showing signs of preeclampsia including elevated urine protein levels. Her complaints of swelling were not adequately evaluated.
- On 6/15/11 at her prenatal visit, she had very high blood pressure and complained of shortness of breath. During the ambulance transport to the ER, she had a seizure and went into cardiac arrest.
- The EMT deviated from ACLS guidelines by not providing advanced airway, IV access, or adequate oxygen support. Proper treatment of preeclampsia
This study compared neonatal and maternal outcomes following administration of fentanyl and midazolam or placebo to 60 pregnant women prior to Cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. The study found:
1) No significant differences between groups in neonatal Apgar scores, neurobehavioral scores, or continuous pulse oximetry measurements over three hours.
2) Mothers who received fentanyl and midazolam were more likely to report finding the study medication helpful, but both groups showed no difference in recall of the birth.
3) Maternal catecholamine levels and neonatal cord blood gas values were similar between groups.
The study concluded that a single dose of fentanyl and mid
Current point of view in preterm labor management in albania (2)Alexander Decker
This study examined the use of maintenance tocolysis therapy to prevent preterm labor in Albania. The study included 325 pregnant women between 28-32 weeks gestation hospitalized for preterm labor. Women received tocolysis therapy for over one month. Those between 28-30 weeks (n=200) had greater benefits, with pregnancy prolonged by 6-8 weeks on average. The authors conclude maintenance tocolysis therapy can considerably prolong pregnancy for women diagnosed with preterm labor between 28-32 weeks gestation, though larger studies are still needed.
Effects of Daily Consumption of Synbiotic Bread on Insulin Metabolism and Ser...Haleh Hadaegh
1) This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of consuming synbiotic, probiotic, or control bread on insulin metabolism and inflammation markers in 81 diabetic patients over 8 weeks.
2) Patients who consumed synbiotic bread had a significant reduction in insulin levels, insulin resistance scores, and beta-cell function compared to the probiotic and control bread groups.
3) The synbiotic bread, containing Lactobacillus sporogenes and inulin, improved insulin metabolism but did not significantly affect other measures like blood glucose, insulin sensitivity, or CRP levels compared to the other breads.
O documento lista alimentos ricos em polifenóis como uvas, erva-mate, chás, chocolate preto, frutas cítricas e hortaliças. Estudos mostram que o consumo desses alimentos na gravidez pode afetar o fluxo do ducto arterial fetal. Um questionário de frequência alimentar foi desenvolvido para avaliar o consumo de alimentos ricos em polifenóis por grávidas.
This study examined the effects of restricting polyphenol-rich foods in the diets of pregnant women in their third trimester on fetal ductal flow dynamics. 46 pregnant women consuming high levels of polyphenols were asked to restrict these foods for 2 weeks or more. Their fetuses showed significant decreases in ductal blood flow velocities and right ventricular size, as well as an increase in ductal pulsatility index. A control group of 26 women showed no significant changes. The study suggests that restricting maternal polyphenol intake in the third trimester can improve fetal ductal flow and right heart dimensions in normal pregnancies, as seen previously in cases of ductal constriction.
The document discusses fetal ductus arteriosus and factors that influence its closure after birth. It notes that during fetal life, the ductus arteriosus shunts most blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta. After birth, closure is initiated by increased oxygen levels and mediated by prostaglandins and endothelins. The ductus possesses smooth muscle that is influenced by relaxing factors like prostaglandins and constricting factors like oxygen. Drugs that inhibit prostaglandin synthesis like indomethacin can cause premature ductal constriction. The document also discusses how a maternal diet high in polyphenols from foods like tea, grapes, oranges, and chocolate may interfere with fetal ductal
The document describes a study examining the effects of polyphenol-rich food supplementation on ductus arteriosus blood flow and markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in pregnant sheep. The study found that supplementing pregnant sheep with polyphenol-rich foods for 14 days induced constriction of the ductus arteriosus in fetuses, accompanied by increases in markers of oxidative stress like protein carbonyls and antioxidant enzymes, and decreases in inflammatory nitric oxide. Ductal blood flow parameters correlated with changes in these oxidative stress and inflammatory markers. The results suggest polyphenol intake in late pregnancy may induce fetal duct constriction through anti-inflammatory effects and involvement of oxidative stress.
Effect of polyphenols on the intestinal and placental 2012gisa_legal
This document summarizes a research article that studied the effect of polyphenols on the intestinal and placental transport of some bioactive compounds. Some key findings of the research article include:
1) Different classes of polyphenols can affect the transport of organic cations, glucose, thiamine, and folic acid at the intestinal and placental barriers.
2) Within the same phenolic family, different compounds may have opposite effects on the transport of certain molecules.
3) Acute and chronic exposures to polyphenols do not always produce the same results, so care is needed when extrapolating findings.
4) The combined effect of polyphenols may differ from the individual effects
This study validated a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) used to measure fruit, vegetable, and tea intake in pregnant women in Norway. The FFQ estimates were compared to biomarkers (urinary flavonoids and plasma carotenoids) and a 4-day weighed food diary. Correlations between the FFQ and biomarkers provided evidence that the FFQ could reliably estimate intake of certain foods, with validity coefficients of 0.65 for citrus fruit/juice and 0.59 for cooked vegetables. Overall, the validation study demonstrated the FFQ's ability to estimate fruit, juice, vegetable and tea intake in pregnant Norwegian women.

This study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility and validity of a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to assess intake of polyphenol-rich foods in pregnant women in Brazil. 120 pregnant women participated in two interviews where they completed the FFQ and 24-hour dietary recalls. 93 women also completed 3-day food diaries and provided urine samples. The FFQ showed moderate to high correlations with the 24-hour recalls and food diaries. The correlation between the FFQ and urinary polyphenol levels was low but significant. The study concluded that the FFQ is reproducible and valid for quantifying intake of total polyphenols in pregnant women.

This study examined the effects of maternal consumption of polyphenol-rich foods during late pregnancy on fetal ductus arteriosus blood flow dynamics. Doppler ultrasound was used to compare ductal blood flow velocities and right-to-left ventricular dimensions in 102 fetuses exposed to high maternal polyphenol intake versus 41 unexposed fetuses. Exposed fetuses had higher ductal velocities and right-to-left ventricular ratios, indicating potential inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis from polyphenols and effects on ductal constriction. The findings suggest maternal polyphenol-rich food intake during late pregnancy may impact fetal ductal dynamics and warrant changes to perinatal dietary guidance.

This study evaluated the impacts of maternal gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on fetal heart structure and function. 44 GDM mothers underwent fetal echocardiography at different gestational periods and were divided into poorly-controlled (DM1) and well-controlled (DM2) groups based on glycemic control. Fetal cardiac parameters were measured and compared to 70 healthy pregnancies. Results showed thicker ventricular walls in GDM fetuses compared to controls. While good maternal control delayed impairments, it did not reduce their degree. Some changes in GDM fetuses were similar to pregestational diabetes, but parameters and timing differed.

Detecção pré natal de cc resultado de programa preliminargisa_legal
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a national prenatal screening program for congenital heart disease (CHD) introduced in the Netherlands in 2007. The study found that the overall prenatal detection rate of severe CHD increased from 35.8% before the screening program to 59.7% after. Some specific types of CHD saw even larger increases, such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome which increased from 54.1% to 97.6% detection. Additionally, late referrals after 24 weeks gestation decreased by 24.3% following the screening program. This is the largest study to investigate prenatal detection rates of severe CHD in an unselected population, and found the screening program led to remarkably high detection compared to
This study compared the efficacy of two animal-derived surfactants, poractant alfa and beractant, in treating respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants. The study found that infants treated with poractant alfa required significantly less oxygen in the first 5 days after treatment compared to those treated with beractant. Infants in the poractant alfa group also had higher rates of extubation within 3 days. Additionally, poractant alfa treatment resulted in fewer infants requiring multiple doses of surfactant compared to beractant treatment. While mortality and other outcomes were similar between groups, survival without bronchopulmonary dysplasia at the end of the study period was significantly higher
This document summarizes research examining the effects of taurine supplementation on cardiac abnormalities in NZB/W F1 mice fed a high-cholesterol diet. The study found that mice fed a cholesterol/taurine diet had less abnormal cardiac histology, fewer apoptotic cardiac cells, and decreased levels of proteins involved in apoptosis compared to mice fed a cholesterol-only diet or control diet. This suggests taurine has protective effects against cardiac abnormalities induced by a high-cholesterol diet in this mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus.

This study compared the effectiveness of three umbilical cord care regimens (alcohol, natural drying, and salicylic sugar powder) on 143 neonates in Taiwan. They found that the salicylic sugar powder group had the lowest rates of umbilical cord colonization by bacteria and the shortest cord separation time, averaging 6.8 days, compared to the natural drying and alcohol groups. No cases of omphalitis (umbilical cord infection) occurred with any of the three regimens. The study suggests that natural drying and salicylic sugar powder are safe and effective options for umbilical cord care in high-humidity regions like Taiwan.

This pilot study examined the effects of chronic maternal hyperoxygenation (CMH) on fetal aortic and mitral valve growth in fetuses with left heart hypoplasia (LHH). Nine pregnant women whose fetuses had LHH received at least 8 hours per day of supplemental oxygen from enrollment until delivery. Their fetuses' valve growth was compared to nine historical controls. CMH appeared safe for mothers and fetuses. While valve growth trends were better in the CMH group, the differences compared to controls were small and not statistically significant. More than 9 hours of daily CMH was associated with better aortic annular growth. The study supports further research but did not find clear benefits to valve growth from CMH
This randomized controlled trial compared milking the umbilical cord four times versus delaying cord clamping for 30 seconds in preterm neonates. The study found no significant differences in hemoglobin levels, hematocrit, or need for blood transfusions between the two groups. While milking appeared to provide comparable placental transfusion to delayed clamping, the authors call for larger studies with more standardized techniques given the limited research on cord milking.
Fluido isotonico en rehidratacion pediatricafranklinaranda
This study aimed to determine if using isotonic fluids instead of hypotonic fluids prevents iatrogenic hyponatremia in pediatric patients requiring intravenous fluid maintenance therapy. 122 pediatric patients were randomly assigned to receive either isotonic fluids with 140 mEq/L sodium or hypotonic fluids with <100 mEq/L sodium. At 24 hours, the percentage of patients with hyponatremia was significantly higher in the hypotonic group compared to the isotonic group. The use of isotonic fluids did not increase adverse events compared to hypotonic fluids. The study concludes that hypotonic fluids increase the risk of hyponatremia in pediatric patients.
approach to evidence based antenatal Fetal survellianceDr Praman Kushwah
This document discusses evidence-based approaches to antenatal Doppler fetal surveillance. It begins by outlining the objectives and aims of fetal surveillance, including identifying fetuses at risk of hypoxia and improving perinatal outcomes. It then describes various methods of fetal surveillance, including daily fetal movement counts, non-stress tests, biophysical profiles, and Doppler velocimetry. The document discusses the indications and measurements of Doppler indices for the uterine, umbilical, and middle cerebral arteries. It reviews recent evidence showing that Doppler ultrasound in high-risk pregnancies can reduce perinatal deaths and interventions without increasing them in low-risk pregnancies. The document concludes by emphasizing that not all pregnancies require surveillance and that monitoring
Fetal echocardiographic measures to improve the prenatal diagnosis of coarcta...gisa_legal
This study aimed to identify fetal echocardiographic measures that can accurately predict postnatal coarctation of the aorta (CoA). The study retrospectively reviewed 13 cases of prenatal CoA diagnosis confirmed postnatally, 14 cases of prenatal CoA diagnosis with normal postnatal arches, and 30 controls. Measurements of the aorta, head vessels, and ventricles were made on available fetal echocardiograms. Linear mixed effects models found significant differences in the true CoA group for smaller distal transverse arch diameter, smaller distal transverse arch to head vessel index, and longer head vessel distances. The head vessel to arch index trend also differentiated true CoAs from false positives. Fetal echocardiographic
This study compared the efficacy of two surfactant treatments, poractant alfa and beractant, in very premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome. Fifty-two infants between 24 and 29 weeks gestation were randomly assigned to receive either poractant alfa or beractant. The study found that infants receiving poractant alfa required lower respiratory support as measured by mean airway pressure and respiratory index over the first 72 hours of life. Additionally, more infants in the poractant alfa group were extubated by 48 and 72 hours compared to the beractant group. While the study was not powered to detect differences in morbidities, rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and death were
This randomized controlled trial compared the efficacy of poractant alfa and beractant in treating 52 very premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Infants treated with poractant alfa required lower mean airway pressure and respiratory index to maintain oxygenation compared to beractant-treated infants over the first 72 hours of life. More infants in the poractant alfa group were extubated at 48 and 72 hours compared to the beractant group. While the study was not powered to detect differences in morbidities, rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and death were similar between the two groups.
This study evaluated 84 patients diagnosed with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) to assess the ability of physicians to detect the condition through clinical examination compared to sonography and barium studies. The olive sign was detected in only 13 patients (15.5%) on clinical examination. Sonography revealed HPS in 71 of 81 patients (87.7%), while barium studies found HPS in 16 of 21 patients (76.2%). Sonography was significantly more accurate at detecting HPS than clinical examination. Due to the difficulty examining crying infants and increased availability of imaging, physicians' skills at detecting the olive sign through physical examination are declining, leading to underutilization of this important diagnostic tool.
This guideline from the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care provides evidence-based recommendations for pre-operative fasting in children. A literature review was conducted covering studies comparing liberal versus conservative fasting regimens, the impact of food/fluid composition and comorbidities, the use of gastric ultrasound, and early postoperative feeding. The main recommendations based on GRADE 1C or 1B evidence were to reduce clear fluid fasting to 1 hour, reduce breast milk fasting to 3 hours, and allow early postoperative feeding. Gastric ultrasound may be useful for clinical decision making, and a light breakfast with controlled intake may be well tolerated. More research is still needed in several areas.
Introduction: Though there are many studies on the effects of anesthesia methods used for cesarean section on the newborn,
research on this topic still continues. In our prospective observational study, we investigated the effects of different anesthesia techniques used in routine cesarean deliveries on early neonatal outcomes in our hospital. This prospective, observational, randomized study included a total of 222 ASA II risk group pregnant women undergoing elective cesarean section at term (38-41 weeks’ gestation) without fetal distress. The women were randomized into three groups. In the general anesthesia with propofol group (Group P, n = 74), anesthesia was induced with 2 mg∙kg-1 propofol and 0.6-0.9 mg∙kg-1
rocuronium. In the general anesthesia with thiopental sodium group (Group T, n = 74), anesthesia was induced with 5 mg∙kg-1 thiopental sodium and 0.6-0.9 mg∙kg-1 rocuronium. Women in the spinal anesthesia group (Group SA, n = 74) were administered 0.5% (10 mg) hypertonic bupivacaine and 10 mcg fentanyl.
Aim: To predict the probability of stone free status calculated by CROES nomogram and to test the accuracy of our fi tted regression model to predict outcomes of PCNL. Methods: From July 2018 to May 2019, data of 100 patients underwent PCNL procedure for renal stones at Urology department at Menoufi a University was collected and postoperative results were compared to the preoperative predicted stone free status. The CROES nomogram was applied to the data of all cases using its scale to calculate the total score and corresponding percent of stone free status after the procedure. We used binary logistic regression to test whether the six factors in the study can predict the PCNL outcome. We compared the calculated probabilities of stone free by our fitted regression model to the traditional method using the whole 6 parameters on the scale of nomogram.
1) The study examined whether the phosphorylated form of the sodium chloride cotransporter (pNCC) or prostasin in urinary exosomes could serve as biomarkers for aldosteronism.
2) In animal models, aldosterone infusion and a low-sodium diet increased pNCC levels in urinary exosomes, suggesting pNCC may be a marker for aldosteronism. Prostasin levels were less consistently elevated.
3) In patients with primary aldosteronism, pNCC levels were significantly higher in urinary exosomes compared to patients with essential hypertension, while prostasin levels showed a non-significant trend upward.
