EDITOR,鈥擜lvin Zipursky concludes that intramuscular administration of vitamin K at birth is not associated with an increased risk of childhood cancer.1 The recommendation by the British Paediatric Association in 1992 that vitamin K should be given orally rather than intramuscularly was never ...
Nearly 30 years ago Sutherland and his colleagues showed in a large randomised trial that vitamin K given at birth was highly effective in preventing haemorrhagic disease and that severe bleeding (cerebral or adrenal haemorrhage or haemorrhage causing significant anaemia) occurred only in unsupplemented...
In comparison, of those who consented for vitamin K to be given, only 1.2% declined subsequent immunisation. Five per cent of children whose parents opted for oral vitamin K (4.8% of the study group) did not have any subsequent vaccinations. These parents were also more likely to be late ...
While breastfed infants demonstrate lower blood levels of vitamin K than the "recommended" amount, they show no signs of vitamin K deficiency (leading one to wonder where the "recommended" level for infants came from). But with vitamin K injections at birth, harmful consequences of some rare ...
Vitamin K in oral drops and intramuscular injection given at birth to Thai infants were compared to determine whether these routes and doses would influence prothrombin complex activity, mortality or morbidity at 0.5, 1 and 2 months of age. The infants were 321 normal fullterm babies born at ...
We looked at existing recommendations and supporting evidence on the effectiveness of vitamin K given after birth in preventing the haemorrhagic disease of the newborn (HDN).#We conducted a literature search up to the 10th of December 2019 by using key terms and manual search in selected sources...
Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors (FII, FVII, FX) and PT and TT were studied prospectively in 113 healthy newborns during the first 6 weeks of life. No vitamin K prophylaxis was given. Infants were divided into three groups: breast fed, formula fed or combination. The method of nutrition...
The incidence of vitamin K deficiency bleeding among babies not given vitamin K supplements at birth is likely to be higher than 9 per 100000. This figure was based on the results of a study in babies selected for being at minimal risk of bleeding. Cite...
Moreover, Vitamin D could be better classed as a seco-steroid, given that its structure is similar to that of a steroid, and its production is ... DJ Owens,WD Fraser,GL Close - 《European Journal of Sport Science》 被引量: 56发表: 2015年 24-Hour History is More Closely Associated wi...
Given the complex pathomechanism of stroke, a multitarget pharmacotherapy seems a more rational approach in stroke prevention and treatment than drugs acting on single molecular targets. Recently, vitamin D3 has emerged as a potential treatment adjunct for ischemic stroke, as it interferes with the ...
