Covid-19 and newborn health
Objective. To describe perinatal and neonatal outcomes in newborns exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Methods. A systematic review was conducted by searching PubMed Central, LILACS, and Google Scholar using the keywords ‘covid ’ AND ‘newborn’ OR ‘child’ OR ‘infant,’ on 18 March 2020, and again on 17 April 2020. One researcher conducted the search and extracted data on demographics, maternal outcomes, diagnostic tests, imaging, and neonatal outcomes. Results.…
Service readiness for inpatient care of small and sick newborns
BACKGROUND: Each year an estimated 2.6 million newborns die, mainly from complications of prematurity, neonatal infections, and intrapartum events. Reducing these deaths requires high coverage of good quality care at birth, and inpatient care for small and sick newborns. In low- and middle-income countries, standardised measurement of the readiness of facilities to provide emergency obstetric care has improved tracking of readiness to provide car…
Cross‐sectional study of electrocardiographic pattern in healthy children resident at high altitude
Electrocardiographic studies have reported persistent right ventricle predominance in high altitude children as an adaptive response. No information was provided on ethnicity and environmental factors in those studies. We assessed the electrocardiographic characteristics in healthy high altitude children with mixed ancestry and relatively high mobility to lower altitudes. A cross‐sectional study of 321 children aged 2 months through 19 years old …
Cross-sectional study of echocardiographic characteristics in healthy children living at high altitude
Non-echocardiographic studies in healthy high altitude children have shown right ventricle predominance during infancy and childhood, associated to asymptomatic pulmonary hypertension and an increased pulmonary artery pressure. Systematic studies on echocardiography in such children have not been performed. In a cross-sectional study, we measured right and left heart morphologic and functional parameters, through M-mode, two-dimensional Doppler, …
Human adaptation to high altitude
Studies of the ways in which persons respond to the adaptive challenges of life at high altitude have occupied an important place in anthropology. There are three major regions of the world where high-altitude studies have recently been performed: the Himalayas of Asia, the Andes of South America, and the Rocky Mountains of North America. Of these, the Himalayan region is larger, more geographically remote, and likely to have been occupied by hum…
Protection from intrauterine growth retardation in Tibetans at high altitude
Intrauterine growth retardation has long been recognized at high altitude. Since growth‐retarded babies have a decreased chance of survival, intrauterine growth retardation would be expected to have been selected against in populations long resident at high altitude. We have previously reported that Tibetan babies born at 3,658 m weighed more than their North or South American altitude counterparts. This study sought to determine whether Tibetans…
Neonatal Jaundice
Physiologic hyperbilirubinemia occurs commonly in term newborn infants in the absence of any underlying pathologic cause. Yet, the jaundice itself is commonly regarded as a problem in the transition to extrauterine life. Contrary to the usual assumption of pathology, there are several lines of evidence supporting an adaptive role for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. First, experimental and clinical evidence indicate that neonatal enzyme systems are n…
