The Relationship

A mother's expectations about the development of her infant have been found to be a strong determinant of child development, but little is known about the factors that may affect maternal assessment of development. In this study, the relationship of the mother's opinion of the development of her infant with several sociodemographic, antenatal, intrapartum, and infant health variables was examined for a large sample of 1-year-old infants for whom gross motor observations were also obtained at the time of the interview. Among those observed to be developing at an appropriate rate, 4.0% were perceived by their mothers as developing more slowly than the mothers considered normal; among infants developing more slowly, 28.6% were considered to be developing slowly by their mothers. In both groups, the major determinants of maternal opinion of slow development concerned the infant's health: low birth weight, congenital anomalies regardless of severity, hospitalization during the first year of life, and high ambulatory care use. These results indicate that maternal perception of infant development may not reflect the infant's level, but past or present illness, and raise questions about the influence of infant health on maternal-infant interactions and the effect of such interactions on subsequent development in the child.

Prematurely Born Infants

Chronic lung disease in prematurely born infants, defined as the need for increased inspired oxygen at 28 days of age, was thought to be more common in some institutions than in others. To test this hypothesis, we surveyed the experience in the intensive care nurseries at Columbia and Vanderbilt Universities, the Universities of Texas at Dallas, Washington at Seattle, and California at San Francisco, the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, and Mt Sinai Hospital in Toronto. The survey included 1,625 infants with birth weights of 700 to 1,500 g. We confirmed the relationship of risk to low birth weight, white race, and male sex. Significant differences in the incidence of chronic lung disease were found between institutions even when birth weight, race, and sex were taken into consideration through a multivariate logistic regression analysis. Columbia had one of the best outcomes for low birth weight infants and the lowest incidence of chronic lung disease.

The Relationship

BackgroundThere is no consensus on the effects that low birth weight, premature birth and intrauterine growth have on later depression.AimsTo review systematically the evidence on the relationship of low birth weight, smallness for gestational age (SGA) and premature birth with adult depression.MethodWe searched the literature for original studies assessing the effect of low birth weight, premature birth and SGA on adult depression. Separate meta-analyses were carried out for each exposure using random and fixed effects models. We evaluated the contribution of methodological covariates to heterogeneity using meta-regression.ResultsWe identified 14 studies evaluating low birth weight, 9 premature birth and 4 SGA. Low birth weight increased the odds of depression (OR = 1.39, 95% CI 1.21–1.60). Premature birth and SGA were not associated with depression, but publication bias might have underestimated the effect of the former and only four studies evaluated SGA.ConclusionsLow birth weight was associated with depression. Future studies evaluating premature birth and SGA are needed.

AbstractAim of work:To determine whether fetal volume (FV) measured by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound was able to detect fetuses at risk of low birth weight (primary outcome) and/or preterm labor (secondary outcome).Methods:One hundred pregnant women carrying a singleton living pregnancy who were sure of dates, and had a dating scan, with gestational age between 11 weeks and 13 weeks+6 days coming for routine first trimester nuchal translucency (NT) were examined by both two-dimensional (2D) and 3D ultrasound (Vocal System) for crown-rump length (CRL) and FV then followed up regularly every 4 weeks until 28 weeks then biweekly until 36 weeks then weekly until delivery both clinically and by ultrasound biometry.Findings:Eighty-seven cases had a normal outcome, while the remaining 13 cases had either preterm labor (four cases) or low-birth weight (nine cases). FV positively correlated with CRL (P=0.026), gestational age in weeks (P=0.002), neonatal body weight in grams (P=0.018) and neonatal body length at birth (P=0.04). A mean FV of 8.3 mmConclusion:3D assessment of FV in the first trimester provides an accurate method for predicting pregnancy outcome namely low birth weight and neonatal complications, however, it is a better positive predictor than a negative one.

Oxygen Treatment

Developmental aberrations following transfer of in vitro-produced bovine embryos can result in early gestational losses and offspring abnormalities. An ongoing study tests the hypothesis that such aberrations occur with equal frequency among commonly employed culture systems. In year 1, embryos were produced using oocytes from abattoir-derived ovaries (breed unspecified) and a proven Angus bull selected for low birth weight. IVC treatments were 2×2 factorial for medium (KSOMaa or SOFaa) and oxygen concentration (5% or 20%). Angus recipients (n=61; 32 cows, 29 heifers) were randomly allotted to treatments for Day 7 transfers. Pregnancy was diagnosed with ultrasound several times during gestation (Table 1). At parturition calf weight, shoulder height, chest circumference, crown-rump length, and humeral and femoral length data were collected. Statistical analyses (Statistical Analysis System, Cary, NC) were logistic regression with a binomial distribution for pregnancy rate, and the general linear models procedure for calf measurements; included were fixed effects of medium, oxygen, and their interaction, with additional fixed effects of dam parity and calf sex where appropriate. No significant effects of medium or oxygen were found for pregnancy rate or calf measurements other than birth weight. Mean birth weight was higher in the KSOM, 20% oxygen treatment (Table 1), and medium-oxygen interaction for calf weight was also significant (P<0.01). In year 2 embryos were produced using the same Angus bull and Angus oocytes. Angus recipients (n=38; 32 cows, 6 heifers) were randomly allotted to treatments. Fetal crown-rump lengths were measured by ultrasound weekly from Days 33 to 54 and were analyzed as repeated measures using the mixed procedure. Pregnancy outcome and LS means for crown-rump lengths are included in Table 1. Though insufficient recipient numbers preclude determination of statistical significance, of interest is the relatively small fetal size in early gestation and large birth weights in the KSOM, 20% oxygen treatment. This treatment also contained a Day 33 pregnancy, subsequently lost by Day 40, in which the fetus was too small to obtain an accurate measurement. Fetal growth will continue to be monitored throughout gestation. Data will be collected at parturition as in year 1, and pooled analyses will be done. Table 1

The objective of this study was to determine whether a correlation exists between abnormal pronation and functional leg-length discrepancies. Visual assessment and a pelvic thrust maneuver were used to identify the functionally short leg in 56 indigenous Mexicans (20 males and 36 females; mean age, 33 years; mean weight, 59 kg; and mean height, 1.60 m). The Foot Posture Index was used with a modified stance position to identify the more pronated foot. The posterosuperior iliac spines were used to identify the “relative” position of the innominate bones. The raw data obtained from this study were evaluated using the McNemar test for paired proportions. A significant positive correlation was found between abnormal pronation and hip position and between hip position and functional leg-length discrepancy. These results are consistent with a theoretical ascending dysfunctional pelvic model: Abnormal pronation pulls the innominate bones anteriorly (forward); anterior rotation of the innominate bones shifts the acetabula posteriorly and cephalad (backward and upward); and this shift in the acetabula hyperextends the knees and shortens the legs, with the shortest leg corresponding to the most pronated foot.
