Hypoglycemia in small for gestational age babies

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2000
The main objectives of the study were to find the incidence and risk factors associated with development of hypoglycemia in small for gestational age (SGA) babies, to compare haemoglucotest strips (Boehringer Mannheim) with the standard laboratory method (glucose-hexokinase) for estimation of blood glucose, and to measure the insulin and cortisol ...

Polycythemia in small for gestational age infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1969
Neonatal polycythemia and related disorders were studied in 23 full-term infants small for gestational age (SGA), 23 full-term (F-AGA), and 18 preterm infants of birth weights appropriate for gestational age (P-AGA). SGA infants had significantly higher hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocyte count, and fetal hemoglobin concentration values than other ...

Small for gestational age: Towards 2004

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2003
Children born small for gestational age are a non-homogeneous group and etiology and diagnostic needs vary among subgroups. In view of the knowledge accumulated about immediate and future risk factors for these children it is important to study the etiology and to invest in long-term prevention programs.

Plasma Leptin Levels of Large for Gestational Age and Small for Gestational Age Infants

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1999
The hormone leptin produced in the adipose tissue is involved in the regulation of body weight. This study investigates whether plasma leptin levels are related to an infant's birthweight, and whether the levels change with feeding. We measured plasma leptin levels from infants who were large for gestational age (n= 21), small for gestational age (n ...

Born small for gestational age: consequences for growth

Acta Paediatrica, 1996
A large number of studies have documented a strong correlation between size at birth and subsequent height, although the reported incidence of catch‐up growth and consequently the impact on final height has varied with time and between countries. These variations may be real, but could also be related to a number of methodological problems.
