Book SIDS Sudden Infant and Early Childhood Death

Download or read book SIDS Sudden Infant and Early Childhood Death written by Roger W. Byard and published by . This book was released on 2018-04 with total page 844 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume covers aspects of sudden infant and early childhood death, ranging from issues with parental grief, to the most recent theories of brainstem neurotransmitters. It also deals with the changes that have occurred over time with the definitions of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), SUDI (sudden unexpected death in infancy) and SUDIC (sudden unexpected death in childhood). The text will be indispensable for SIDS researchers, SIDS organisations, paediatric pathologists, forensic pathologists, paediatricians and families, in addition to residents in training programs that involve paediatrics. It will also be of use to other physicians, lawyers and law enforcement officials who deal with these cases, and should be a useful addition to all medical examiner/forensic, paediatric and pathology departments, hospital and university libraries on a global scale. Given the marked changes that have occurred in the epidemiology and understanding of SIDS and sudden death in the very young over the past decade, a text such as this is very timely and is also urgently needed.

Book What is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome SIDS

Download or read book What is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome SIDS written by Dr. Hakim. K. Saboowala and published by Dr.Hakim Saboowala. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome(SIDS)” ?  In 1969, a National Institutes of Health consensus conference led to the first standardized definition of sudden infant death as the “sudden death of an infant or young child, which is unexpected by history, and in which a thorough post-mortem examination fails to demonstrate an adequate cause of death.” However, in recent years, SIDS has been substantially demystified by major advances in our understanding of its relationship to sleep and homeostasis, environmental and genetic risk factors, and biochemical and molecular abnormalities. The most important advance has been the discovery that the prone sleep position more than triples the risk of SIDS, which in the early 1990s led to national and international campaigns advocating a supine sleep position for infants. Since then, it has been estimated that rates of SIDS have declined by more than 50%, and thousands of infant lives have been saved. However, SIDS still remains the leading cause of post neonatal infant death and is the third leading cause of infant mortality overall. Thus, it is endeavoured in this Booklet to review highlights the major advances in our understanding of SIDS along with relevant Illustrations for better understanding! …Dr. H. K. Saboowala.

Book Pediatric Neurology Part II

Download or read book Pediatric Neurology Part II written by Olivier Dulac and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The child is neither an adult miniature nor an immature human being: at each age, it expresses specific abilities that optimize adaptation to its environment and development of new acquisitions. Diseases in children cover all specialties encountered in adulthood, and neurology involves a particularly large area, ranging from the brain to the striated muscle, the generation and functioning of which require half the genes of the whole genome and a majority of mitochondrial ones. Human being nervous system is sensitive to prenatal aggression, is particularly immature at birth and development may be affected by a whole range of age-dependent disorders distinct from those that occur in adults. Even diseases more often encountered in adulthood than childhood may have specific expression in the developing nervous system. The course of chronic neurological diseases beginning before adolescence remains distinct from that of adult pathology – not only from the cognitive but also motor perspective, right into adulthood, and a whole area is developing for adult neurologists to care for these children with persisting neurological diseases when they become adults. Just as pediatric neurology evolved as an identified specialty as the volume and complexity of data became too much for the general pediatician or the adult neurologist to master, the discipline has now continued to evolve into so many subspecialties, such as epilepsy, neuromuscular disease, stroke, malformations, neonatal neurology, metabolic diseases, etc., that the general pediatric neurologist no longer can reasonably possess in-depth expertise in all areas, particularly in dealing with complex cases. Subspecialty expertise thus is provided to some trainees through fellowship programmes following a general pediatric neurology residency and many of these fellowships include training in research. Since the infectious context, the genetic background and medical practice vary throughout the world, this diversity needs to be represented in a pediatric neurology textbook. Taken together, and although brain malformations (H. Sarnat & P. Curatolo, 2007) and oncology (W. Grisold & R. Soffietti) are covered in detail in other volumes of the same series and therefore only briefly addressed here, these considerations justify the number of volumes, and the number of authors who contributed from all over the world. Experts in the different subspecialties also contributed to design the general framework and contents of the book. Special emphasis is given to the developmental aspect, and normal development is reminded whenever needed – brain, muscle and the immune system. The course of chronic diseases into adulthood and ethical issues specific to the developing nervous system are also addressed. A volume in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series, which has an unparalleled reputation as the world's most comprehensive source of information in neurology International list of contributors including the leading workers in the field Describes the advances which have occurred in clinical neurology and the neurosciences, their impact on the understanding of neurological disorders and on patient care

Book Sudden Infant Death or Infanticide

Download or read book Sudden Infant Death or Infanticide written by Eugene Diamond and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-01-20 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sudden Infant Death is one of the leading causes of mortality in childhood. Its cause has not been firmly established despite extensive research. One widely accepted theory of causation was a disturbance of sleep with a fatal disorder of respiration during sleep. Support for this theory was published in Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The author encounters a family who has had two children die of Sudden Infant Death when he answers a call for an infant brought dead on arrival to a hospital emergency room. The family chooses to have him follow their family as the attending pediatrician through the births and deaths of four subsequent children, also diagnosed by the Chicago Medical Examiner as sudden unexplained deaths. All of the children were evaluated immediately after death and subsequently to the time of their demise by one of the country's outstanding infant sleep study centers and found to have histories of abnormal sleep patterns with the repetition of fatal outcomes. A suspicion arises among both medical experts and law enforcement authorities that the infant deaths might actually result from fatal interventions by the mother. Intense investigations by police and states attorney investigation teams fail to result in any indictments or prosecutions despite strong suspicions and accusations by several coroners and evidence gathering bodies. The mother is subsequently killed in an auto accident never having been charged.
