..It would seem that, besides the nail dysplasia of the index finger, COIF may also be associated with bone dysplasia of the same finger...

..Our objectives were to estimate the full-term neonatal mortality rate and to identify causes of death in full-term infants during the first month of life...

..Measurements at the end of puberty of neonates short for gestational age (SGA-L) are scant...

..Clinical and electrocardiographic monitoring of newborns of antidepressant treated mothers is needed...

..Availability of these guidelines to the international community may offer direction to physicians of other countries who may be setting up guidelines for use in their own communities...

..The peripheral blood smears revealed many spherocytes. This important hematologic sign in a neonate suggests not only ABO incompatibility, hereditary spherocytosis, or G6PD deficiency, but also the possibility of Kell incompatibility...

..The results show that SNFS may constitute the only cutaneous sign of spinal dysraphism. In conclusion, we recommend that neonates with SNFS be investigated for occult spinal dysraphism...

..Further randomized studies with larger samples over the long term are warranted...

..We suggest that these findings comprise a new entity of combined branchio-oto and cardio-digital developmental field abnormalities, which we termed branchio-oto-cardio-skeletal syndrome. The pattern of inheritance remains uncertain...

..We review clinical data on 22 published cases in order to delineate the phenotype of this condition. Clinical recommendations for prenatal and postnatal evaluation of patients and fetuses at risk are discussed...

..We suggest that maternal mirtazapine treatment during pregnancy was associated with recurrent hypothermia in both identical twins...

..The aim of this study was to determine the effect of maternal use of selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor antidepressants during pregnancy on the QTc interval of the offspring...

..Close follow-up by the obstetrician including level II ultrasound should be recommended in any case of VKA exposure during pregnancy...

..Even if early discharge is felt to be cost effective, parents should be counseled that it is not risk free. Better mechanisms should be put in place for assuring the safety of such infants...

..These neonates should be monitored for at least 48 hours after birth. The long-term effects of prolonged exposure to SSRIs, particularly in neonates who develop severe symptoms, have yet to be determined...

..The general prevalence of auricular MEMs was 43.2% and the most frequent MEMs and their associates were of postural-type. This computerized program offers many advantages for the study of ear MEMs...

..It may, however, be associated with worse pregnancy outcome...

..01). This study identifies some personal characteristics that can affect the way nurses deal with hospital mergers and need to be considered during organizational changes in order to maintain job satisfaction...

..Daily supplementation and fertification of food with folic acid should be considered as the best way to improve the balance of folic acid in women of childbearing age of this special population (high prevalence of consanguinity)...

..Therefore, use of the term "acrorenal syndrome" should be avoided...

..To evaluate the effectiveness of policies and recommendations on folic acid aimed at reducing the occurrence of neural tube defects...

..Our data suggest that amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and cefuroxime may be safe during lactation. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings...
