ABSTRACT

Un buen resultado perinatal significa la terminación del embarazo con un recién nacido sano. Este resultado depende de una salud materna preconcepcional optima, un buen cuidado durante el embarazo, una adecuada atención en el momento del nacimiento y el cuidado neonatal con las mejores prácticas validadas en la medicina basada en la evidencia. El período neonatal comprende desde el momento del nacimiento hasta los 28 días de edad. El período neonatal temprano incluye los primeros siete días, y el período neonatal tardío,de los siete a los 28 días postnatales. Uno de los primeros pasos al abordar un neonato es identificar los factores de riesgo antes del parto, durante el nacimiento (parto) y los asociados con morbilidad neonatal especifica.


Agood perinatal outcome means the termination of pregnancy with a healthy newborn. This result depends on an optimal preconception maternal health, proper care during pregnancy, proper care at birth and neonatal care with validated best practices in evidence-based medicine. The neonatal period extends from the time of birth to 28 days old. The early neonatal period includes the first seven days, and the late neonatal period, seven to 28 days postnatal. One of the first steps in dealing with a newborn is to identify risk factors before birth, during birth and associated with specific neonatal morbidity.

ABSTRACT

Com o crescimento, a criança revela modificações da expansibilidade do tórax. Este estudo visou verificar a mobilidade torácica em crianças saudáveis do sexo masculino com idades entre 7 e 11 anos. Foram avaliadas 91 crianças de uma escola particular em Itajaí, SC, relacionando a expansibilidade da caixa torácica, medida por citometria, com a idade e a estatura. Os indivíduos permaneceram em sedestação, medindo-se com fita métrica o perímetro torácico nos níveis axilar, xifóide, basal e umbilical.


The growing child changes in thoracic expandability. This study aimed at verifying thoracic mobility in health male children 7 to 11 years old. Ninety-one children from a private school in Itajaí (SC, BRA) were appraised as to thoracic expandability by correlating thoracic mobility to age and height. While individuals remained sitting, thoracic mobility was mesured with a metric tape at axillary, xiphoid, basal and umbilical levels...

ABSTRACT

O crescimento da parede torácica anterior nao tem sido bem explorado. Controvérsia sobre esse assunto inclui a descriçao de suturas no esterno por alguns autores. Os objetivos deste estudo sao demonstrar que placas de crescimento cartilaginosas estao presentes entre os segmentos ósseos do esterno em crescimento e que lesao dessas placas pode causar deformidades pectus. A parede torácica anterior normal de ratos Sprague-Dawley e a de três crianças foram comparadas macroscópica e histologicamente. Foi desenvolvido um modelo experimental no qual a epifisiodese parcial das placas de crescimento esternais resultou em deformidades pectus. Um caso clínico no qual o distúrbio do crescimento do esterno, causado iatrogenicamente por cirurgia, resultou em deformidade pectus em uma criança foi correlacionado com o modelo animal. Placas de crescimento cartilaginosas existem entre os segmentos ósseos do esterno em crescimento. Lesao dessas placas de crescimento resulta em deformidade pectus. Deformidades da parede torácica anterior podem ser causadas por distúrbios de crescimento das placas de crescimento esternais. Lesoes dessas placas de crescimento em um modelo animal experimental e lesoes causadas iatrogenicamente em um paciente demonstram a formaçao de deformidades pectus.

ABSTRACT

Se evalúan los perímetros de brazo (PB) y tórax (PT) como índices de bajo peso de nacimiento (BPN) en un grupo de 317 recién nacidos. Tanto el PT como el PB guardan buena correlación con el BPN (0,88-0,80 respectivamente). En la población estudiada, el punto de corte que permite la detección de niños de BPN, sería menos de 9 cm de PB y menos de 29-30 cm de PT. La aplicación de estos parámetros permitiría la captación oportuna de niños de BPN más expuestos a riesgos de morbimortalidad infantil, en aquellos lugares u ocasiones en que no sea posible pesar al niño al nacer

ABSTRACT

Birth weight is a reliable and important indicator of the immediate and the later outcome of health care. It may be a problem in rural areas where home deliveries are prevalent and weight records are usually lacking. The aim of this work is to find out the correlation of mid-arm and chest circumferences [MAC and CC] to birth weight, which is a very simple and easy measurement. The results of 321 neonates, 180 term [> 37 ws] and 141 pre-term, [< 37 ws] showed a significant correlation between birth weight and MAC [0.8710] and with CC [0.8475] with no sex difference

ABSTRACT

Usefulness of calf circumference (CC) for screening low birth weight (LBW) was assessed in comparison with other anthropometric measurements, crown heel and crown rump lengths (CHL, CRL), Chest (Ch C), head (HC) and arm (AC) circumferences in 256 infants within 24 hours of birth. Calf circumference showed highest degree of correlation (r = 0.83) with birth weight followed by arm and chest circumference and crown heel length. Step down multiple linear regression analysis of birth weight showed highest R2 value with combination of calf, arm and crown heel length (82.1%). Addition of other measurements did not improve the predictive value of the model. Sensitivity of these parameters in screening LBW infants (less than 2500 g) showed 95.7% critical limit for calf followed by 82.6% with arm circumference and 72.5% with crown heel length. False positive responses were similar (18-20%) with all the three parameters. Calf circumference being highly sensitive and easy to measure, is useful in screening most of the low birth weight infants in the communities where weighing scales are not available or cannot be used by peripheral workers.
