Are babies with gastroschisis small for gestational age?

Pediatric Surgery International, 1997
A large proportion of babies with gastroschisis (GS) have low birth weights. It is not clear, however, whether only certain subgroups or the whole population of babies with GS have low birth weights. The aim of this study was to ascertain if the birth weights of babies with GS are significantly lower than those of the general population and to ...

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 ...

Small for gestational age: a new insight?

Medical Hypotheses, 1999
Acidosis reduces the ability of nitric oxide synthase to generate nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine (L-arg), even if dietary intake or circulating plasma levels of L-arg are normal. During systemic acidemia, therefore, vascular perfusion in one or more organs may be compromised. Arginine is also a powerful anabolic amino acid.

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.

The placental pathology of small-for-gestational age infants

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1975
There is a lack of placental studies of newborn infants who are small for gestational age (SGA). In a gross and light micorscopy evaluation of 63 referred placentas associated with singleton SGA infants, abnormalities were found in 58. In many instances these were considered of causal significance. Abnormalities included ischemic lesions (43 per cent),
