Plasma Cholesterol and Lathosterol Levels in Term Infants in the Early Neonatal Period

Objective. To evaluate the features of the course of the early neonatal period of newborns born from young women under conditions of epidural analgesia.Material and methods. The authors conducted a prospective, comparative, randomized, longitudinal, monocenter study. Patients of Group 1 (n=25) were anesthetized with a narcotic analgesic (2% Тrimeperedine 1,0 ml intramuscularly). Patients of Group 2 (n=30) received long-term epidural analgesia (EA) with 0,2% Ropivacaine (10,0 ml/hour). All patients delivered full-term infants. The course of labor, clinical and laboratory characteristics of newborns in the early neonatal period were evaluated.Results. There were no significant differences in the duration of labor, volume of blood loss, and other characteristics between the groups. There were no clinical differences between the groups of newborns. We did not find a negative effect of epidural analgesia on the Apgar score at the 1st (p=0,166) and 5th (p=0,217) minutes of life and the neuropsychiatric status of the newborn (p=0,322). At the same time, in the group of long-term epidural analgesia, there was a tendency to a higher incidence of moderate and mild asphyxia (19,2% versus 9,5%; p=0,436). When comparing the acid-base state of umbilical cord arterial blood, significant differences were found in the following indicators: lower pH (p=0,042) and pO2 level (p=0,007) and higher pCO2 level (p=0,031) in arterial cord blood.Conclusion. Epidural analgesia during labor in young women is accompanied by a lower level of pH and pO2 and a higher level of pCO2 in the arterial cord blood as compared to a Group of Тrimeperedine, which indicates a more pronounced shift in the acid-base state of the fetal blood. When analyzing neurological outcomes in newborns, there were no statistically significant differences. However, further follow-up is required for children born from young mothers who have received long-term epidural analgesia in labor.

Increased Risk

Background: The incidence of preterm birth, defined as delivery before the end of the 37th week of pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual period, is increasing. India accounts for the 40% of the global burden of low birth weight babies with 7.5million babies born with a birth weight of <2500g. The objective of the study is to compare the morbidity suffered by the late preterm infants with that of term infants.Methods: This was a retrospective study and the data for this study came from the medical records of maternal and neonatal case sheets and discharge summaries. The data was collected for the period between January 2014 and December 2014. All the late preterm infants born and admitted during early neonatal period were compared with term infants who were born and admitted during early neonatal period to the Aditya Hospital on the basis of maternal, infant and clinical characteristics.Results: A total 292 infants including LPTI and term infant records were obtained. LPTI group had significant problems compared to term infants. The predominant clinical problems at birth and during the early neonatal period are neonatal jaundice, transient tachypnea of newborn, feeding difficulty and probable sepsis.Conclusions: LPTI are at increased risk of morbidity compared to term infants and hence require special attention and care for possible complication during their early neonatal period.

Hypernatremic Dehydration

AbstractCongenital glucose-galactose malabsorption (CGGM) is an autosomal recessive disorder originating from an abnormal transporter mechanism in the intestines. It was sourced from a mutation in the SLC5A1 gene, which encodes a sodium-dependent glucose transporter. Here we report a 2-day-old girl with CGGM who presented with severe hypernatremic dehydration due to diarrhea beginning in the first hours of life. Mutation analysis revealed a novel homozygous mutation NM_000343.3 c.127G > A (p.Gly43Arg) in the SLC5A1 gene. Since CGGM can cause fatal diarrhea in the early neonatal period, timely diagnosis of the disease seems to be essential.
