Constrictive pericarditis is a rare disease of infancy and childhood, and is almost always caused by a tuberculosis or other infection. It is usually fatal, if untreated in acute phase. Early diagnosis of this condition is now facilitated by echocardiography and computerized tomography. Favorable outcome seems to depend on early diagnosis assured by echocardiography, early surgical treatment such as pericardiocentesis... |

Purpose : Insulin-like growth factor(IGF-I) and IGF binding protein(IGFBP)-3 is thought to play
an important role in fetal erythropoiesis. The objective of this study was to establish a relation
between IGF-I, free IGF-I, IGFBP-1, and -3 with hemoglobin level in healthy term, 3-month, and
12-month old infants.
Methods : Healthy term infants(n=20) were enrolled at birth, as well as 3 months(n=30) and 12
months(n=30) of... |

Purpose : Premature infants have low serum immunoglobulin G(IgG) levels because IgG is transplacentally
acquired, primarily after 32-34 weeks of gestational age. We studied the transplacental
transfer of serum IgG in preterm infants.
Methods : The IgG levels in the sera were measured by radial immunodiffusion method(Behring
nephelometer, Germany).
Results : There was a significant difference between IgG concentration and gestational age; the
IgG concentration increased... |
