[29]. The incidence and severity of CSA in preterm infants is inversely related to gestational age and is diagnosed by recurrent, prolonged apneas lasting more than 20 seconds and periodic breathing withcyanosis,oxygen desaturations, and bradycardia[29].Apnea of prematuritydoes not require aPSGfor...

Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome(CCHS) is a congenital form of severe central hypoventilation of undetermined etiology. Patients with CCHS usually present with cyanosis, respiratory failure, or occasionally apnea at birth. Rarely, infants present later with ALTEs or cor pulmonale. It is quite...
SSS occurs rarely in infants and children and is usually due to congenital heart abnormalities. Risk factors for SSS include symptomatic bradycardia, frequent sinus pauses, pre-syncope, syncope, heart failure, symptomatic chronotropic incompetence, inadequate heart rate response to physical activity and ...
Some effects of multiple sclerosis on speech perception in noise: preliminary findings Behavioral tests and the ABR depend on the status of the central auditory nervous system. OAE's can be rapidly obtained even from sleeping infants and young children. Testing for hearing loss in children More re...
(7) Although most studies have noticed the effects of hyper bilirubinemia on the brain stem, it seems that this disorder affects cochlea as well (at least the region involved in the processing of high frequencies). Evaluation of auditory & brainstem responses in hyperbilirubinemic infants More ...
