Introdução: O Estuário de Santos e São Vicente está contaminado com metais pesados, compostos organoclorados, dioxinas e furanos. Estudos epidemiológicos evidenciam que fetos são mais susceptíveis às substâncias tóxicas que adultos. Este trabalho avaliou a ocorrência de eventos relacionados à gestação em áreas contaminadas e não contaminada na região estuarina. Métodos: Estudo transversal onde foram analisados dados do SINASC entre 2003 e 2007 nos municípios de São Vicente, Guarujá, Cubatão e Bertioga.

Abstract Identifying Data Needs to Support the Public Health Program of First Care Background: First Care (FC) is a Georgia (GA) public health (PH) program funded by Title V Block Grant, whose main purpose is to provide collaborative skilled PH services for infants with LBW and VLBW (low and very low birth weight) as well as those considered at high risk for illness and disabilities. Purpose: 1.

Abstract:

SAIDA SHARAPOVA The role of stress in racial disparities of preterm and low birth weight births in Georgia (Under the direction of Richard Rothenberg, MD, MPH) Preterm birth (PTB) and low birth weight (LBW) are the leading causes of infant deaths in Georgia. Georgia PRAMS data (2004-2008) were analyzed for non-Hispanic White and non-Hispanic Black women with singleton births, using SAS 9.2 survey procedures. Thirteen stressful life events experienced in a year before delivery, socio-demographic, medical and behavioral risks were used as predictors of PTB and LBW. Significant racial disparity i

The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between specific infant and maternal characteristics with the developmental outcome of low birth weight infants. Birth weight was statistically significant in relation to the Mental Developmental Index (p =.001) and the Psychomotor Developmental Index for chronologic age (p =.023). Birth weight predicted 25% of the variance in infant cognitive development and 24% in infant motor development.

Abstract:

The neonatal period in mammals is characterized by high growth rates and is dominated by skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Low birth weight (LBWT) neonates experience restricted growth and development of skeletal muscle, leading to metabolic perturbations later in life. The overall hypothesis of this dissertation was that in utero disturbances in glucose metabolism and increased energy requirements predisposes LBWT neonatal pigs to metabolic disturbances after birth. We sought to increase growth of skeletal muscle and improve glucose production through increasing dietary energy and to determine

This study has used the runt pig fetus as a naturally occurring model of low weight; to better understand intrinsic factors that may contribute to low birth weight.

Background: Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), a manifestation of the widespread opioid epidemic, has plagued our country, and particularly the region of Northeast Tennessee, for quite some time now.

Is there some discriminatory factor other than in utero opioid exposure involved? Thus, in light of this knowledge, we wanted to investigate whether birth weight at the time of del

Regression problems in which predictors are measured with error have been studied by statisticians and researchers for many years. Measurement error in predictors creates biases in estimated regression coefficients, and hence models that address this are extremely important. These models are especially important in perinatal research since errors in gestational age can have serious effects.<br>The presence of measurement error in gestational age can lead to poor estimation of fetal growth and risk of mortality and morbidity, and can compromise statistical analyses [32, 39].
