Association of prenatal and postnatal exposure to some endocrine-disrupting chemicals with birth and neurodevelopmental outcomes: an extensive review
Ozge Yesildemir, Mensure Nur Celik
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are natural or human-made chemicals that can mimic, block, or interfere with the body's hormones. The most common and well-studied EDCs are bisphenol A, phthalate, and persistent organic pollutants, including polychlorinated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, other brominated flame retardants, organochlorine pesticides, dioxins, and furans. Humans are constantly exposed to EDCs through air, diet,...

J. Jenifer Florence Mary, R. Sindhuri, A. Arul Kumaran, Amol R. Dongre
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2022;65(4):201-208.   Published online October 18, 2021
Background: According to the National Family Health Survey– 4, in India, 78.9% of deliveries occur in institutions, although only 42.6% of new mothers initiate breastfeeding within 1 hour of delivery.
Purpose: To estimate the proportion of early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) among new mothers at discharge from a tertiary care hospital and identify the determinants of delayed initiation of breastfeeding among...
Ten years of experience in the prevention of mother-to-child human immunodeficiency virus transmission in a university teaching hospital
Jung-Weon Park, Tae-Whan Yang, Yun-Kyung Kim, Byung-Min Choi, Hai-Joong Kim, Dae-Won Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2014;57(3):117-124.   Published online March 31, 2014
Purpose

Administration of antiretroviral drugs to mothers and infants significantly decreases mother-to-child human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission; cesarean sections and discouraging breastfeeding further decreases this risk. The present study confirmed the HIV status of babies born to mothers infected with HIV and describes the characteristics of babies and mothers who received preventive treatment.

Methods

This study retrospectively analyzed medical records of nine infants...

The Effect of Post-natal Weight Changes on the Development of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Hye One Jhon, Young Min Kim, Hee Joo Hong, Chong Woo Bae
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(3):269-274.   Published online March 15, 2004
Purpose : The subjects were compared and measured for differences in the aspects of weight changes between the groups that developed bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) after treatment and those that did not, to analyze the relations between the patterns of early weight change after birth and the development of BPD. Methods : Retrospective analysis of medical records were performed for birth weight and...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(9):1168-1173.   Published online September 15, 2000
Purpose : This study was undertaken to investigate changes in cardiac performance in early neonatal life by observing the changes of left ventricular(LV) function and volume according to the size of ductus arteriosus. Methods : The study group consisted of 21 full-term Cesarean section neonates who were admitted to the nursery of Korea University Hospital. We serially investigated the...

Association of Early Postnatal Neutropenia and Development of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Preterm Infants
Hee Seok Kim, Jun Dong Park, Beyong Il Kim, Jung-Hwan Choi, Chong Ku Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(8):1033-1040.   Published online August 15, 1998
Purpose : To see if a similar relationship exists between the decreased number of circulating neutrophils and the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) in preterm infants, we tried to test the hypothesis that claims that preterm infants, who develop BPD, have decreased number of circulating neutrophils than those who do not develop BPD. Methods : A retrospective cohort study was conducted in...

The Efficacy of Fetal Ultrasonography and Postnatal Abdominal Ultrasonography for the Diagnosis of Neonatal Abdominal Mass
Hee Eun Lee, Ee Kyung Kim, Hee Seok Kim, Yun Kyoung Lee, Chan Hwu Park, Kyung Ran Park, June Dong Park, Beyong Il Kim, Woong Heum Kim, Jung Hwan Choi, Gui Won Park, Hwang Choi, Yong Choi, Chong Ku Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(3):299-306.   Published online March 15, 1998
Purpose : Most neonatal abdominal masses are benign in nature, but early detection and management is important to avoid the development of complications. So, we studied the causes of neonatal abdominal masses and the efficacy of ultrasonography for early detection and diagnosis. Methods : We reviewed 36 newborn infants with abdominal masses who had been admitted to the nursery and Neonatal...

Accepted January 1, 1970  
Bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC) and bone width (BW) of lumbar spine was measured in 37 term and 38 preterm appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) infants and 22 term small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants who were delivered at Yonsei University Severance Hospital from January to September 1991 using dual photon absorptiometry (DPA). All of the infants were studied once within three days...

Kyoung Mi Park, Ran Namgung, Chul Lee, Dong Gwan Han
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(5):606-619.   Published online May 31, 1989
Postnatal body weight changes were observed in 171 surviving infants with birth weights from 875 gm to 2,125 gm who were born at Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine form 1981 to 1987. Only infants whose sizes were appropriate for gestational age were included in the study. Infants were divided into 5 groups by biπh weight, with the median weight were 2,000 gm,...
Fetal Weight for Gestational Period and Postnatal Weight Gain of Low Birth Weight Gain of Low Birth Wight Infant.
Jung Tae Kim, Kong In Kwon, Tae Ju Hwang, Hyung Suk Byun, Chull Shon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(2):111-117.   Published online February 28, 1983
Fetal weight for gestational period were elaborated through establishment of the birth weight-gestational age tables in 1836 Korean newborn infants between 28〜42 weeks of gestational age. Mean, standard deviation and the 10th, 25th, 75th, and 90th percentile were calculated. In comparison our data with those of 1970, there were significant increment of the birth weight of Korean infants, especially over 33...
