Diagnosis of Very Long Chain Acyl-Dehydrogenase Deficiency From an Infant's Newborn Screening Card

Pediatrics, 2001
Very long chain fatty acid dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency is a rare but treatable cause of cardiomyopathy, fatty liver, skeletal myopathy, pericardial effusions, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden death. Unrecognized, VLCAD deficiency may be rapidly progressive and fatal, secondary to its cardiac involvement. Because early diagnosis improves outcome,

Improvement of height estimation of low birth weight infants, newborns and infants image processing system using Kinect

2014 IEEE 3rd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE), 2014
Height data is very important not only as an indicator of growth in low birth weight infants, newborn, infants (infants below), but also for early detection of disease such as dwarfism. In this paper, we consider height estimation by image processing that targets lying infants for the purpose of reducing the burden of infants, doctors and parents ...

Cystatin C in Healthy Women at Term Pregnancy and in their Infant Newborns: Relationship Between Maternal and Neonatal Serum Levels and Reference Values

American Journal of Perinatology, 1999
Human cystatin C, a basic low molecular mass protein with 120 amino acid residues, is freely filtered by the glomerulus and almost completely reabsorbed and catabolized by the proximal tubular cells. Cystatin C has been recently proposed as a new sensitive endogenous serum marker for the early assessment of changes in the glomerular filtration rate. To
