Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Twins

Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae, 1971
SummaryRespiratory distress syndrome occurred in 77 of 1,130 liveborn twins (1: 15) and appears to be more frequent than in singletons. This increase cannot be entirely accounted for by the higher prematurity rate of twins over singletons. In 46 twin pairs with at least one affected, there was a significantly higher concordance rate among MZ than DZ ...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2004
Several combination therapies have been described throughout this article: in all likelihood, it is combination therapy that will allow improved survival of ARDS patients. As medicine moves into the future, clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of therapies for ARDS will be performed.

Infant Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The American Journal of Nursing, 1975
The respiratory distress syndrome of infancy (RDS), which is also called hyaline membrane disease, is responsible for more deaths among infants and children than any other disease(1 ). Although advances in understanding the pathophysiology of RDS and in the technology of infant care have markedly decreased mortality, this disease remains a significant ...
