Thermoregulation in babies immediately after birth.
The fall in body temperature that occurs in babies soon after birth is influenced by the baby's weight and its environmental conditions. The rate of oxygen consumption 1 1/2 hours after birth was...
Simple method for measuring oxygen consumption in babies.
A simple open-circuit method for measuring the rate of oxygen consumption in the neonatal nursery is described and preliminary results on 240 infants reported. The findings are consistent with...
Metabolic response to cold in the newborn.
Blood concentrations of glycerol and free fatty acids were measured in healthy and sick 5-day-old infants during and after cold exposure. In apparently similar infants in similar circumstances, the...
Effect of phototherapy on thermal environment of the newborn.
Oxygen consumption was studied in 40 newborn babies undergoing phototherapy for hyperbilirubinaemia, both when enclosed within an incubator or nursed in an open cot. Exposure to phototherapy caused a...
Calcium, magnesium, and glucose levels in blood and CSF of children with febrile convulsions.
Levels of calcium, magnesium, and glucose were measured in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of children with febrile convulsions. Calcium and magnesium levels were within the normal range and...
Role of routine investigations in children presenting with their first febrile convulsion.
To assess the role of routine investigations in children presenting with their first febrile convulsion, the results of investigations carried out in 328 children over a 2-year period were reviewed....
Renin and angiotensin levels in children.
Broughton Pipkin, F, Smales, O R, O'Callaghan, M
Plasma renin activity, plasma renin concentration, and angiotensin II levels were measured in 63 normal children aged between 2 months and 12 years. The results showed that the high levels of renin...
