Jaundice, Neonatal
Yellow discoloration of the SKIN; MUCOUS MEMBRANE; and SCLERA in the NEWBORN. It is a sign of NEONATAL HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA. Most cases are transient self-limiting (PHYSIOLOGICAL NEONATAL JAUNDICE) occurring in the first week of life, but some can be a sign of pathological disorders, particularly LIVER DISEASES.
Jaundice
A clinical manifestation of HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA, characterized by the yellowish staining of the SKIN; MUCOUS MEMBRANE; and SCLERA. Clinical jaundice usually is a sign of LIVER dysfunction.
Bilirubin
A bile pigment that is a degradation product of HEME.
Jaundice, Obstructive
Jaundice, the condition with yellowish staining of the skin and mucous membranes, that is due to impaired BILE flow in the BILIARY TRACT, such as INTRAHEPATIC CHOLESTASIS, or EXTRAHEPATIC CHOLESTASIS.
Kernicterus
A term used pathologically to describe BILIRUBIN staining of the BASAL GANGLIA; BRAIN STEM; and CEREBELLUM and clinically to describe a syndrome associated with HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA. Clinical features include athetosis, MUSCLE SPASTICITY or hypotonia, impaired vertical gaze, and DEAFNESS. Nonconjugated bilirubin enters the brain and acts as a neurotoxin, often in association with conditions that impair the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER (e.g., SEPSIS). This condition occurs primarily in neonates (INFANT, NEWBORN), but may rarely occur in adults. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p613)
Phototherapy
Treatment of disease by exposure to light, especially by variously concentrated light rays or specific wavelengths.
Hyperbilirubinemia
A condition characterized by an abnormal increase of BILIRUBIN in the blood, which may result in JAUNDICE. Bilirubin, a breakdown product of HEME, is normally excreted in the BILE or further catabolized before excretion in the urine.

Neonatal examination and screening trial (NEST): a randomised, controlled, switchback trial of alternative policies for low risk infants. (1/1018)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of one rather than two hospital neonatal examinations in detection of abnormalities. DESIGN: Randomised controlled switchback trial. SETTING: Postnatal wards in a teaching hospital in north east Scotland. PARTICIPANTS: All infants delivered at the hospital between March 1993 and February 1995. INTERVENTION: A policy of one neonatal screening examination compared with a policy of two. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Congenital conditions diagnosed in hospital; results of community health assessments at 8 weeks and 8 months; outpatient referrals; inpatient admissions; use of general practioner services; focused analysis of outcomes for suspected hip and heart abnormalities. RESULTS: 4835 babies were allocated to receive one screening examination (one screen policy) and 4877 to receive two (two screen policy). More congenital conditions were suspected at discharge among babies examined twice (9.9 v 8.3 diagnoses per 100 babies; 95% confidence interval for difference 0.3 to 2.7). There was no overall significant difference between the groups in use of community, outpatient, or inpatient resources or in health care received. Although more babies who were examined twice attended orthopaedic outpatient clinics (340 (7%) v 289 (6%)), particularly for suspected congenital dislocation of the hip (176 (3.6/100 babies) v 137 (2.8/100 babies); difference -0.8; -1.5 to 0.1), there was no significant difference in the number of babies who required active management (12 (0.2%) v 15 (0.3%)). CONCLUSIONS: Despite more suspected abnormalities, there was no evidence of net health gain from a policy of two hospital neonatal examinations. Adoption of a single examination policy would save resources both during the postnatal hospital stay and through fewer outpatient consultations.  (+info)

Voluntary newborn HIV-1 antibody testing: a successful model program for the identification of HIV-1-seropositive infants. (2/1018)

Harlem Hospital in New York City has one of the highest HIV-1 newborn seroprevalence rates in the United States. We report the results of a program introduced in 1993 and designed to identify HIV-1-seropositive (HIV+) newborns at birth. All new mothers, independent of risk, received HIV counseling that emphasized the medical imperative to know the infant's HIV status as well as their own. Consent was obtained to test the infant; discarded cord blood samples were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and when positive, Western Blot confirmation. We compared the number of HIV+ infants identified through voluntary testing with the number reported by the anonymous New York State Newborn HIV Seroprevalence Study. In 1993, 97.8% (91 of 93) of the number of HIV+ infants identified by the anonymous testing were identified through voluntary maternal and newborn testing programs. Eighty-five HIV+ infants were identified before nursery discharge: 50% (42/85) through newborn testing; 14% (12/85) through prenatal testing; 13% (11/85) presented to care knowing their status; 23% (20/85) were known because of a previous HIV+ child. Six additional HIV+ children were diagnosed after hospital discharge (mean age, 5.5 months; range 1.5 through 17 months); four presented with symptomatic disease. The optimal time for identification of the HIV+ pregnant woman is before or during pregnancy, but when this does not occur, voluntary newborn testing can identify many HIV+ infants who would otherwise be discharged undiagnosed from the nursery.  (+info)

Costs, true costs, and whose costs in economic analyses in medicine? (3/1018)

Cost-effectiveness analyses of clinical practices are becoming more common in the development of health policy. However, such analyses can be based on misconceptions and flawed assumptions, leading to flawed policies. We argue that such is the case with the recent recommendations for routine measurement of umbilical cord gases at delivery, a policy based on the assumption that this clinical strategy will pay for itself by reduced malpractice awards. As we demonstrate, this argument reflects the physician's perspective, not that of society or of patients. It also ignores the fact that malpractice awards are largely transfer payments, not cost of healthcare.  (+info)

Costing model for neonatal screening and diagnosis of haemoglobinopathies. (4/1018)

AIM: To compare the costs and cost effectiveness of universal and targeted screening for the haemoglobinopathies; to compare the cost of two laboratory methods; and to estimate the cost effectiveness of programmes at different levels of prevalence and mix of haemoglobinopathy traits. METHODS: A retrospective review of laboratory and follow up records to establish workload and costs, and estimation of costs in a range of circumstances was made in a haematology department and sickle cell and thalassaemia centre, providing antenatal and neonatal screening programmes in Inner London. The costs for 47,948 babies, screened during 1994, of whom 25 had clinically significant haemoglobinopathies and 704 had haemoglobinopathy traits, were retrospectively assessed. RESULTS: The average cost per baby tested (isoelectric focusing and high power liquid chromatography) was 3.51 Pounds /3.83 Pounds respectively; the cost per case of sickle cell disease identified (IEF/HPLC) was 6738 Pounds /7355 Pounds; the cost per trait identified (IEF/HPLC) was 234 Pounds /255 Pounds; the cost per extra case of SCD and trait identified by universal programme varied. CONCLUSIONS: IEF and HPLC are very similar in terms of average cost per test. At 16 traits/1000 and 0.5 SCD/1000 there was no significant identification cost difference between universal and targeted programmes. Below this prevalence, a targeted programme is cheaper but likely to miss cases of SCD. If targeted programmes were 90-99% effective, universal programmes would cease to be good value except at very high prevalence. Greater use of prenatal diagnosis, resulting in termination, and therefore fewer affected births, reduces the cost effectiveness of universal screening. Screening services should aim to cover a screened population which will generate a workload over 25,000 births a year, and preferably over 40,000.  (+info)

Outcome of medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency after diagnosis. (5/1018)

BACKGROUND: Medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency is the most common inborn error of fatty acid metabolism. Undiagnosed, it has a mortality rate of 20-25%. Neonatal screening for the disorder is now possible but it is not known whether this would alter the prognosis. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the outcome of MCAD deficiency after the diagnosis has been established. METHOD: All patients with a proved diagnosis of MCAD deficiency attending one centre in a four year period were reviewed. RESULTS: Forty one patients were identified. Follow up was for a median of 6.7 years (range, 9 months to 14 years). Nearly half of the patients were admitted to hospital with symptoms characteristic of MCAD deficiency before the correct diagnosis was made. After diagnosis, two patients were admitted to hospital with severe encephalopathy but there were no additional deaths or appreciable morbidity. There was a high incidence (about one fifth) of previous sibling deaths among the cohort. CONCLUSIONS: Undiagnosed, MCAD deficiency results in considerable mortality and morbidity. However, current management improves outcome, supporting the view that the disorder should be included in newborn screening programmes.  (+info)

School attainments in children with congenital hypothyroidism detected by neonatal screening and treated early in life. (6/1018)

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of school attainments in children with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) detected by neonatal screening and treated early in life. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Text comprehension, mathematics, reading, writing and verbal and spatial memory, as indices of school learning, were evaluated in nineteen 5- to 10-year-old children with CH attending nursery or elementary school. l-Thyroxine substitution (starting dose 8-10 microg/kg body weight per day) was initiated at a mean age of 30+/-10 days of life. The control group included 298 unaffected children matched with the CH children for age and school grade. Thirty per cent of controls were classmates of CH children. Intelligence quotients (IQ), language performances and motor development were evaluated in CH children at age 5 years, and were related to their school attainments. School performances of CH children were also compared with their neonatal serum thyroxine (T4) concentration, and with the social-cultural level of the family. RESULTS: Four out of 19 (21%) children with CH, 3 in the nursery and 1 in the elementary school, displayed a generalized learning disorder. Symbol copy, geometric copy, phrase repetition, dictation writing and spontaneous writing were particularly defective in nursery school CH children, while orthographic error recognition was defective in elementary school CH children. School learning disorders in CH children were significantly correlated with a borderline-low IQ, poor language performances and a low social-cultural level of the family, but not with motor skills or neonatal T4 concentration. CONCLUSION: School attainments of early treated CH children were within the normal range in most affected cases. However, about 20% of CH children, most of them attending nursery school, showed a generalized learning disorder. Low IQ scores and poor language performances at age 5 years were associated with defective learning, mainly in CH children living in a poor social-cultural environment. In this subset of CH children, prompt initiation of speech and psychomotor rehabilitation therapy is recommended in order to prevent subsequent school learning disorders.  (+info)

Pertechnetate scintigraphy in primary congenital hypothyroidism. (7/1018)

Primary congenital hypothyroidism (PCH) is currently detected effectively by heel-stick screening. When elevated thyrotropin (TSH) and/or decreased T4 are found in the blood of neonates, they are recalled, values are confirmed in venous blood and thyroxine replacement therapy (TRT) is immediately instituted, thus cretinism or severe retardation is prevented. However, in a significant percentage of neonates with abnormal blood levels of T4 or TSH, the disorder is transient. To help determine the exact cause of PCH and the possibility of transient PCH, pinhole thyroid imaging is performed 30 min after an intravenous injection of 18.5 MBq (500 microCi) 99mTc-pertechnetate (TcPT). Patients with a nonvisualized gland or patients with images suggesting dyshormonogenesis are reevaluated at age 3-4 y to exclude transient PCH. METHODS: To define the role of TcPT imaging in determining the exact etiology of PCH and the possibility of its being transient, we reviewed data from 103 neonates with PCH who had scintigraphy in our laboratory between 1970 and 1996 and we correlated the results with clinical outcome. RESULTS: Four patterns of thyroid scintigrams were recognized and these determined patient classification: (a) normal in 7 patients with false-positive heel-stick screening but normal venous blood hormone levels; (b) hypoplasia-ectopia in 32 patients requiring lifelong TRT; (c) nonvisualization in 35 patients-32 with agenesis requiring lifelong TRT and 3 with fetal thyroid suppression by maternal antibodies whose TRT was discontinued at a later age; and (d) dyshormonogenesis (markedly increased TcPT concentration) in 29 patients-25 with permanent PCH requiring lifelong TRT and 4 with transient PCH in whom TRT was discontinued. Of the 25 patients with dyshormonogenesis, 12 belonged to five families with two or three siblings having the same disorder. CONCLUSION: TcPT thyroid scintigraphy in the neonate with PCH provides a more specific diagnosis, is useful for selecting patients for re-evaluation to uncover transient PCH and discontinue TRT and defines dyshormonogenesis, which is familial and requires genetic counseling. It is also cost-effective.  (+info)

Blood concentrations of pancreatitis associated protein in neonates: relevance to neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis. (8/1018)

AIM: To determine whether pancreatitis associated protein (PAP) is a marker for cystic fibrosis which could be used in neonatal screening for the disease. METHODS: PAP was assayed on screening cards from 202,807 neonates. Babies with PAP > or = 15 ng/ml, or > or = 11.5 ng/ml and immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) > or = 700 ng/ml were recalled for clinical examination, sweat testing, and cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene analysis. RESULTS: Median PAP value was 2.8 ng/ml. Forty four cases of cystic fibrosis were recorded. Recalled neonates (n = 398) included only 11 carriers. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that PAP above 8.0 ng/ml would select 0.76% of babies, including all those with cystic fibrosis, except for one with meconium ileus and two with mild CFTR mutations. Screening 27,146 babies with both PAP and IRT showed that only 0.12% had PAP > 8.0 ng/ml and IRT > 700 ng/ml, including all cases of cystic fibrosis. CONCLUSION: PAP is increased in most neonates with cystic fibrosis and could be used for CF screening. Its combination with IRT looks promising.  (+info)

Newborn Screen/PKU/Heelsticks - from Ronnie Falcãos Midwife ArchivesNewborn Screen/PKU/Heelsticks - from Ronnie Falcãos Midwife Archives
I spoke with the director of medical genetics and the newborn screening laboratory for Childrens Hospital of the University of Pittsburgh Medical center. Dr Jan Bruck. I spoke at length with her about newborn screen and performing PKUs. So the good news is that was correct that PKUs can be done on cord blood!!!!!! Now let me qualify that. PKUs done on cord blood will miss a very rare PKU baby/the more mild case. So The Newborn screen dept suggests that for parents who do not want to do a heel stick on the babe that a safe and non-traumatic way to screen adequately is to use cord blood directly onto the card. A severely affected infant will show positive for PKU with cord blood, the cord blood PKU card should then be followed by a PKU urine test at 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Burke assured me that then you would catch the otherwise milder case of PKU that may not be picked up by cord blood. Now another possible scenario she mentioned is that the mothers blood could also be drawn at birth and fill a ...

Adelaide Research & Scholarship: Detection of treatable neonatal liver disease by expanded newborn screeningAdelaide Research & Scholarship: Detection of treatable neonatal liver disease by expanded newborn screening
Two neonates were identified at age 48 h by expanded newborn screening, with abnormal methionine and tyrosine concentrations, which were confirmed on repeat samples. Evidence of previously unsuspected liver disease was found at recall, and there was radiological and biochemical evidence of severe liver disease with hepatic synthetic failure. After inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) were excluded, both were considered to have neonatal haemochromatosis, on the basis of raised ferritin, iron saturation, and very high α-fetoprotein and confirmed by a mildly hyperferritinaemic sibling in the first case, and raised ferritin and iron saturation in the second. However, it was not feasible to obtain tissue confirmation as the requirement for early therapy precluded biopsy. The babies were treated with antioxidants and iron-chelating agents, and the coagulopathy and hypoalbuminaemia were corrected. Both made a complete recovery and remain well after follow-up. Newborn screening programmes could consider ...

Newborn screening is a public health program facilitated by state public health departments with the goal of improving the health of affected newborns throughout the country. Experts in the newborn screening community established a panel of eight quality indicators (QIs) to track quality practices within and across the United States newborn screening system. The indicators were developed following iterative refinement, consensus building, and evaluation. The Newborn Screening Technical assistance and Evaluation Program (NewSTEPs) implemented a national data repository in 2013 that captures the quality improvement metrics from each state. The QIs span the newborn screening process from collection of a dried blood spot through medical intervention for a screened condition. These data are collected and analyzed to support data-driven outcome assessments and tracking performance to improve the quality of the newborn screening system.

The CIEM newborn screening programme offered opt-in screening for 34 aminoacidopathies, organic acidurias, and fatty acid oxidation disorders (Table). Daily pre-test education and counselling were done by doctors and nurses of the referring units. This process was assisted by pamphlets produced by the CIEM.16 Parents were asked to sign a consent form after the education and counselling session. Referring hospitals were instructed to perform a heel prick for newborn babies between 24 hours and 7 days after birth and spot a few drops of blood onto a filter paper card provided by the CIEM. Apart from basic demographic information such as date and time of birth, the date and time of the DBS collection, ethnicity, feeding methods, medications, and family history of IEM were also collected. The screening laboratory ran the MS/MS assay for IEM screening daily from Monday to Friday. Eleven amino acids, succinylacetone, free carnitine, and 30 acylcarnitines were analysed by the Neobase non-derivatized ...

Each year, about 98 percent of the 4 million newborns in the U.S. are screened for an array of serious genetic and other health conditions. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 12,500 newborns each year are diagnosed with one of the core conditions detected through newborn screening. This means about 1 in every 300 newborns screened is eventually diagnosed.

The Simple Bare Necessities of Life: 2016The Simple Bare Necessities of Life: 2016
We had a fun weekend planned for the 4th of July, just lots of stuff around home and with family. Josie was still screaming everyday but we decided to try and fight through it rather than letting it keep us behind closed doors every weekend. So Saturday I packed up the kids and headed to my sisters while Mark tried to get the yard work done so we could spend the rest of the weekend together. Well I no sooner got to town and Stella was sick. Watery eyes, 102 fever, and runny nose. I turned back around and headed home, hoping it was just a quick summer cold. Josie was more unhappy than ever, so I headed to Wal Mart to grab some sick snacks (usually Stella eats super healthy so when shes sick I stock up on the good stuff to make sure she eats and drinks). I decided to try a different formula for Josie too. I was a desperate woman!

For my money Chihayafuru and Fate/Zero have been the most consistent new series of the Fall, by far. While its an oversimplification to say F/Z appeals to the mind and this show to the heart - theres plenty of crossover - for me the lure of Chihayafuru is much more of an emotional one. Where this series is really shining is in the depiction of its major characters as complicated, layered and sometimes puzzling people. Weve seen every major character introduced continue to evolve and grow, becoming more human and more interesting in the process, and thats even starting to extend to some of the second-tier characters like Retro-kun and Miyauchi-sensei. That should be easier than it is, but the fact that very few series are able to pull it off testifies to the fact that its damn hard. Of course ...

Strategies for Implementing Screening for Critical Congenital Heart Disease | American Academy of PediatricsStrategies for Implementing Screening for Critical Congenital Heart Disease | American Academy of Pediatrics
Newborn screening has led to dramatic improvements in morbidity and mortality rates for a variety of conditions.1 Historically, newborn screening has been based on analysis of dried blood spots and has operated as a partnership between health care providers, who obtain the samples and oversee medical follow-up, and state-based public health systems, which analyze the dried blood spots, assist health care providers and families in follow-up, and monitor the effectiveness of the screening process through surveillance activities. The US Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretarys Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children (SACHDNC) was authorized by the US Congress to provide guidance to the Secretary of the HHS about which conditions should be included in newborn screening and how systems should be developed to ensure appropriate screening and follow-up care.2,3.

This means that your babys hearing function is normal at the time of testing. However, in some babies, hearing-impairment may develop gradually as a result of recurrent ear infections, genetic factors, or chronic illnesses. Hence, you need to be vigilant and continue to monitor the behavioral responses of your childs hearing ability according to the checklist provided in the Baby Health Booklet. If you suspect at any time that your child has a hearing problem, you should consult your doctor. ...

Maintaining Communication with Hospitals throughout the Life of a Data Exchange Pilot Project in Virginia | NewSTEPsMaintaining Communication with Hospitals throughout the Life of a Data Exchange Pilot Project in Virginia | NewSTEPs
The Virginia Newborn Screening (NBS) program partnered with 12 birthing hospitals to pilot the exchange of electronic newborn screening orders and results, which assists in providing information in a rapid, effective and easily accessible way to various members of the NBS system. They initially had low participation by the hospital champions on monthly calls, leaving the NBS Program uninformed and out of touch with their pilot partners. This resulted in a re-evaluation of the communication plan. The Virginia NBS program has had success in maintaining communication by being flexible and taking advantage of existing communication structures already being used by the birthing facilities.. They participated in shorter meetings with individual hospitals versus a monthly extended meeting with all project participants. Some hospitals were already holding regular internal project meetings that the NBS program was allowed to attend. For hospitals not holding project team touchpoints, the NBS Program ...

Views of Mothers about National Newborn Screening Tests Performed in Turkey | Iranian Red Crescent Medical JournalViews of Mothers about National Newborn Screening Tests Performed in Turkey | Iranian Red Crescent Medical Journal
BackgroundNewborn screening tests can detect numerous congenital diseases that may cause disability or death and be performed first in 2006 in Turkey. Newborn screenings for Phenylketonuria and congenital hypothyroidism have increased in recent years due to the emergence of new diseases. It is essential for healthcare personnel and families to carry out these screening programs in a timely, accurate, and efficient manner. Informing families, particularly mothers, about these screening tests will help more newborn babies benefit from these tests. Therefore, this study aimed to explore mothers views about newborn screening programs in Turkey.. Materials Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study included 112 volunteer mothers and was conducted at Zekai Tahir Burak Hospital, Ankara, Turkey, from December 2018 to January 2019.. Results: Although mothers in Turkey were to some extent informed about the screening tests, they did not have sufficient information regarding the objective of ...

All 50 states and the District of Columbia are performing newborn screening for cystic fibrosis (CF). Infants who have a positive newborn screen require follow-up with a sweat test. Gibson-Cooke Quantitative Pilocarpine Iontophoresis (GCQPIT) requires collecting sweat in microbore tubing or on gauze/filter paper and analyzing sweat using a chloridometer. This test has many difficulties including specimens that are quantity not sufficient (QNS), many steps of pipetting solutions in the laboratory, and the need for a chloridometer to analyze sweat chloride concentration. The only manufacturer of a chloridometer has ceased production of this instrument. The CF Quantum® Sweat Test System (CFQT) overcomes all of the difficulties of GCQPIT.

LONDON - The US newborn screening market is poised to witness a number of developments in the years to come. 93% of the newborn babies are screened for different diseases under the newborn screening test in the country. The US government is taking various steps to make improvements to the quality and effectiveness of these tests. Moreover, the governments of different states are also involved in expanding the tests panel.. Blood spot (heel prick) testing is the most extensively performed newborn screening test, with hearing screening and a screening for critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) in newborns, respectively, following after. The technologies utilised for these tests comprise tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), pulse oximetry monitoring, immunoassays, electrophoresis and DNA assays. Immunoassay is the most popular technology used owing to the fact that it is included into primary screening tests for newborn babies. Therefore, these tests are anticipated to constantly enjoy increased ...

In 2011, Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD) screening was added to the U.S. Recommended Uniform Screening Panel (RUSP). Since then, all 50 states have passed laws or established newborn screening programs, making CCHD screening the standard of care in the U.S. A stakeholder work group including representatives from American Heart Association (AHA), American College of Cardiology (ACC) and APHL met in Washington, DC, in 2018 to review the evidence and recommended streamlining the current nationally recommended algorithm. This webinar provides an opportunity to engage and discuss the new recommendations with the authors of a manuscript recently published in PEDIATRICS that contain the recommendations from the stakeholder meeting. Implications for public health programs, rationale for the recommended changes and remaining data collection and educational opportunities will all be addressed.

Approximately 4,300,000 children were born in the United States in 2006, which means that about 43,000 infants were born with heart defects. Of all such infants, almost one-third are predicted to have critical heart disease, defined as a heart defect that is likely to cause death within 2 months of age if undiagnosed. Thus, it is estimated that over 14,000 infants are born with critical congenital heart disease in the United States each year. Diagnosis before the onset of cardiovascular decompensation is essential for optimal outcome. However, of those not diagnosed as a fetus, about 70% of infants with critical heart disease are not diagnosed before 2 days of age and about 20% are discharged from hospital undiagnosed. This leads to severe morbidity and mortality in many hundreds of newborns each year in the United States alone, at a large social and economic cost. Thus, it is incumbent upon all physicians and other health care professionals who care for newborns to rigorously evaluate every ...

Is RFID tracking you
The government has your babys DNA When Annie Browns daughter, Isabel, was a month old, her pediatrician asked Brown and her husband to sit down because he had some bad news to tell them: Isabel carried a gene that put her at risk for cystic fibrosis. While grateful to have the information -- Isabel received further testing and she doesnt have the disease -- the Mankato, Minnesota, couple wondered how the doctor knew about Isabels genes in the first place. After all, theyd never consented to genetic testing. Its simple, the pediatrician answered: Newborn babies in the United States are routinely screened for a panel of genetic diseases. Since the testing is mandated by the government, its often done without the parents consent, according to Brad Therrell, director of the National Newborn Screening & Genetics Resource Center. In many states, such as Florida, where Isabel was born, babies DNA is stored indefinitely, according to the resource center. Many parents dont realize their babys ...

Texas Supplied Newborn Blood Samples to Forensic Database | Science | AAASTexas Supplied Newborn Blood Samples to Forensic Database | Science | AAAS
Dogged investigation by a non-profit online media organization in Texas has revealed that between 2003 and 2007, the state quietly gave hundreds of newborn blood samples to a U.S. Armed Forces laboratory for use in a forensics database. The revelation will likely raise questions about how newborn screening programs are run and how the samples are disseminated, almost always without families knowing where they go. In this case, 800 blood samples were to be part of a new, national mitochondrial DNA database intended as a reference databank for the forensic community and for research into mitochondrial DNA variation-DNA we inherit from our mother. California, Minnesota, and Florida have also reportedly supplied infant blood samples to the effort, according to The Texas Tribune investigation. Like virtually every state, Texas routinely screens almost all newborns for rare diseases, collecting a few drops of blood at birth. In recent years many states, Texas included, have stored the samples and ...

The issue though in all of this centres around several very concerning points. What happens to these blood spots that a nurse collects after doing the routine newborn screening in the hospital. Are they your property, the hospitals or the governments? This is the exact question that culminated in lawsuits in Minnesota and Texas recently. Unbeknownst to parents, their newborns blood was being sent to the US Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory for the creation of a forensics database. In many other states the blood was being kept for many years without parents knowledge. Moreover what would the government do with such data is not clear. The central question then is who has the rights to your babies DNA?

You can expect to be in the hospital for at least 24 hours after a vaginal delivery.. If there are no medical emergencies, your baby will be placed skin-to-skin on your chest. If you choose to breastfeed, we will help you with your babys first feeding and ensure that your newborn has a good latch. Breastfeeding also releases hormones which help control bleeding after birth.. The first hour following birth is an important bonding time for a mother and her newborn. Routine newborn procedures can be delayed to give uninterrupted contact during this time.. In order to minimize maternal bleeding after delivery, the nurse will give the synthetic form of the hormone oxytocin, called Pitocin, through your IV. This helps the uterus tighten to reduce bleeding. Your baby will remain in the room with you during your stay.. After delivery, we will ask you about your pain levels.

Exchange works best with storage consolidated at regional data centers. There you also can have your high-availability clustered servers, says Rodgers. He usually recommends iSCSI with NAS arrays, such as those from Network Appliance Inc., which will do the job at a lower cost than a Fibre Channel (FC) SAN. Hyperion, however, took the FC SAN route. We used two EMC [Corp.] Clariion storage arrays with FC drives. It was redundant storage. Weve never had a Clariion go down, says Tiseo. He realizes its a more costly configuration than necessary, but the company likes the scalability of the Clariion and its reliability. In the future, Tiseo expects to add lower cost, second-tier storage. Although Exchange doesnt require more storage, Hyperions growth has driven an increase in Exchange storage. The company initially set up 3TB of mirrored storage on the two EMC Clariion CX700 arrays (1.5TB per array). It then uses Exchanges policy management to enforce retention policies. We can set different ...
