Role of Meconium and Hypoxia in Meconium Aspiration-Induced Lung Injury in Neonatal Rabbits [PDF]
Background. We previously showed that meconium cuases lung cell death by apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine expression. Whether this is due to meconium exposure itself, or meconium related hypoxia remains unclear. Objectives.

Meconium ileus (MI) is an intestinal obstruction caused by thickened meconium, strictly linked to cystic fibrosis (CF) and often representing its first manifestation. Meconium ileus can be either simple (intraluminal occlusion by stick meconium) or complex, with volvulus, atresia, necrosis, perforation, meconium peritonitis, and pseudocyst formation ...

Abstract The intestinal content of newborns is known as meconium, usually described as a black-greenish slimy substance. However, in rare cases, meconium might be yellow. This is of great relevance with regard to the forensic assessment of life birth, i.e. (longer) survival time and possible (breast-)feeding before death.

Using meconium to establish prenatal alcohol exposure in the UK: ethical, legal and social considerations [PDF]
An expanding policy framework aimed at monitoring alcohol consumption during pregnancy has emerged. The primary justification is prevention of harm from what is termed ‘prenatal alcohol exposure’ (PAE), by enabling more extensive diagnosis of the ...

Safety and feasibility of primary radical surgery for meconium peritonitis considering patients’ general condition and perioperative findings [PDF]
We reviewed the outcomes of meconium peritonitis and evaluated the safety and feasibility of primary radical surgery for meconium peritonitis. A total of 21 cases of meconium peritonitis between 2006 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.

Global Burden of Meconium-Stained Amniotic Fluid: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prevalence With Descriptive Synthesis of Determinants. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Meconium‐stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) is a common intrapartum finding associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. Comprehensive global estimates of its prevalence and determinants are lacking. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to estimate the global pooled prevalence of MSAF and classify its associated factors.
