weights in unilateral breast reconstruction. As such, low BMI may not present a barrier in the reconstruction of a breast mound matching native breast size.
PURPOSE:Children with Robin sequence (RS) are usually thought to have increased risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), given their patho-anatomy. To compare sleep parameters in children with and without RS, we analyzed patients with clefts who underwent surgery followed by polysomnography (PSG). Our hypothesis is that patients with RS would have overall worse sleep outcomes.
METHODS:Patients in our cleft center were reviewed from 2009 to 2014 for those who underwent PSG studies. Patient factors were collected, including demographics, cleft type, status of Pierre Robin sequence, and type of procedure. Outcomes were assessed with Fisher's Exact, Chi-Square, and Mann-Whitney U tests, with OSA, defined as apnea hypopnea index >1, categorized as: none (AHI ≤ 1), mild (AHI >1, <5), moderate (AHI ≥5, <10), and severe (AHI ≥10).
PURPOSE:Detecting intracranial hypertension in children with craniosynostosis may enable earlier intervention to prevent neurocognitive impairment, but is invasive and frequently equivocal with conventional methods. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can noninvasively quantify optic disc thickness with high resolution using ultrasound. We aim to determine whether OCT can be reliably used to measure retinal thickness of infants with craniosynostosis, and whether findings correlate with clinical indications of papilledema and intracranial hypertension.
and SGA < 3% were higher for women of NH black and both NH black & white races compared to women of NH white race alone. In regression models, NH black women and those with mixed NH black and NH white race had a higher odds of GHTN AE PREE and SGA (Figure 1). CONCLUSION: Among college-educated U.S. women with private insurance who are not receiving WIC, racial disparities in placentally mediated adverse outcomes in pregnancy persist. These findings suggest that factors other than socio-demographics are important in the underlying pathogenesis of placentally-mediated adverse pregnancy outcomes.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
