... Abstract Over the past decade, the neonatal literature has undergone dynamic swings vis a vis its approach to patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) therapeutics, from aggressively closing all PDA's to permissive tolerance of ductal shunting. We propose that ductal closure with paracetamol can satisfy...

While patients with congenital heart disease were of interest to physicians, treatment was primarily supportive until 1938, when the first ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was performed...

... fails; a persistently patent DA (PDA) can lead to several and potentially severe short- and long-term complications, including respiratory distress, pulmonary hemorrhage, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), NEC, deterioration of renal function, intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia...

... of Congenital Heart Defects Seen in Nigeria Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the commonest CHD reported in Nigeria while tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is the commonest cyanotic CHD (table 1 ). Among acyanotic CHD, the three commonest lesions are VSD, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and atrial septal defect...

... a cardiac procedure (such as patent ductus arteriosus, PDA) ligation, coarctation of the aorta repair, heart transplant, tetralogy of Fallot repair, etc.) resulting in injury to the left RLN are the most common group who have unilateral vocal fold paralysis and may be candidates for treatment of dysphonia...

... such factors, or whether there should be deliberate intent to advance more slowly. These include a significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), inotrope receipt, blood transfusion, being small for gestational age (SGA), or the presence of abnormal dopplers (AREDF) antenatally. Infant Factors The ADEPT...

..., patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), ventricular septal defects, and coarctation of the aorta. The Mowat-Wilson syndrome has been attributed to mutations or deletions of ZEB2 [ 32 ], a zinc finger protein that binds to E-cadherin. The majority of ZEB2 mutations described to date are large gene deletions...

The deletion is associated with cardiac abnormalities in up to 70% of the affected children [ 20 , 21 ]. The structural heart defects include septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), valvular...

... valve instead has to be diverted into the systemic circulation (aorta) via the ductus arteriosus away from the lung arteries. The oxygen content and saturation of this blood depends on the amount of intracardiac mixing, but it will usually be significantly desaturated compared to normal. PDA = Patent...
