conferenceObject Detection of 22q11.2 Deletion in Infants with Congenital Heart Disease (Preliminary Data)(2013) CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, M.; GRASSI, M. Sierro; KULIKOWSKI, L. Domenici; JACOB, C. Miuki Abe; DUTRA, R. Lelis; MIURA, N.; CECCON, M. E. Jurfest Rivero; KREBS, V. L. Jornada; CARVALHO, W. Brunow; JATENE, M.- Neonatal infection and passive acquisition of serum total IgG and reactive with ""Streptococcus"" B, anti-LPS of ""Klebsiella spp"" and ""Pseudomonas spp"" antibodies in twins(2020) YOSHIDA, Renato de Arauio Monteiro; PALMEIRA, Patricia; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; BRIZOT, Maria de Lourdes; CARVALHO, Erther Brunow de; KREBS, Vera Lucia JornadaOBJECTIVE: To describe the concentration of total and specific IgG antibodies anti-Streptococcus B, anti-lipopolysaccharide of Klebsiella spp, and anti-lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas spp in the umbilical cord of newborn(NB) twins and to analyze the association between neonatal infection and antibody concentration in the umbilical cord blood. METHODS: A prospective cross-sectional study of a cohort of NB twins admitted during the period of 20 months. Patients with malformations and mothers with infection were excluded. Variables analyzed: gestational age(GA); birth weight(BW); antibody concentrations in umbilical cord blood; infection episodes. We used the paired Student t-test, Spearman correlation, and generalized estimation equation. RESULTS: 57 pairs of twins were included, 4 excluded, making the sample of 110 newborns. GA=36 +/- 1.65weeks and BW=2304.8 +/- 460g(mean +/- SD). Antibody concentrations in twins(mean +/- SD): total IgG=835.77 +/- 190.73mg/dL, anti-StreptococcusB IgG=250.66 +/- 295.1 AU/mL, anti-lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas spp IgG=280.04 +/- 498.66 AU/mL and anti-lipopolysaccharide of Klebsiella spp IgG=504.75 +/- 933.93 AU/mL. There was a positive correlation between maternal antibody levels and those observed in newborns(p <0.005). The transplacental transfer of maternal total IgG and anti-LPS Pseudomonas IgG antibodies was significantly lower at NB GA <34 weeks(p <0.05). Five newborns were diagnosed with an infection. Infants with infection had significantly lower total IgG concentration(p <0.05). CONCLUSION: This study showed a positive correlation between maternal and newborn antibodies levels. In infants younger than 34 weeks there is less transfer of total IgG and anti-LPS Pseudomonas IgG. The highest incidence of infection in the newborn group who had significantly lower total IgG serum antibodies reinforces the importance of anti-infectious protection afforded by passive immunity transferred from the mother.
- Preterm and term neonates transplacentally acquire IgG antibodies specific to LPS from Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa(2011) LESSA, Ana Lucia Silveira; KREBS, Vera Lucia Jornada; BRASIL, Tatiana Braga; PONTES, Gerlandia Neres; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; PALMEIRA, PatriciaHigh incidences of Gram-negative bacteria are found in neonatal nosocomial infections. Our aim was to investigate placental transmission of immunoglobulin G (IgG) reactive with lipopolysaccharide from Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia colt O111, O6 and O26. The total and lipopolysaccharide-specific IgM and IgG were determined in 11 maternal/umbilical-cord sera aged <= 33 weeks (GI); 21 aged > 33 and < 37 weeks (GII); and 32 term newborns (GIII). The total and lipopolysaccharide-specific IgM concentrations were equivalent in maternal sera. The total IgG concentrations were equivalent in maternal and newborn sera, with the exception of GIII newborns as compared with their mothers (P < 0.0001) and with neonates from GI and GII (P < 0.05). Lipopolysaccharide-specific IgG concentrations were lower in GI neonates than in their mothers (P < 0.01) and lower in GII (P < 0.05). Lower lipopolysaccharide-specific IgG levels were observed among neonates only for O111 in GI (P < 0.05) and for 026 and Pseudomonas in GII, both as compared with GIII (P < 0.05). The anti-lipopolysaccharide IgG transfer ratios were lower in GI (except for 026) and in GII (except for Klebsiella and O111) as compared with GIII (P < 0.05). Our results suggest that the greater susceptibility to infections in preterm infants is influenced (besides the humoral response) by factors intrinsic and extrinsic to the condition of prematurity.
- Early Mobilization in PICU: Are We on Time?(2019) JOHNSTON, C.; KREBS, V.L.J.; CARVALHO, W.B. de; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, M.Purpose of review: Elements based on specific literature to assist in the elaboration of an early mobilization (EM) protocol for severely ill children in a pediatric intensive care unit or in an inpatient care unit. Recent findings: Recent findings have shown that immobility during critical periods of the disease may cause physical, neuromusculoskeletal, metabolic, cognitive, and psychological sequelae that may extend throughout life. Prolonged bed rest is associated with thromboembolic events, decreased protein synthesis and muscle mass, and increased risk of death. Children surviving from serious illnesses have an increased risk of delay in overall recovery, resulting in poor quality of life and increased costs of post-discharge health services in the short, medium, and long term. Summary: Further research is needed to delineate protocols for specific populations in PICU as well as to find associations between interventions in PICU with EM, and with outcome times spent in PICU and hospital, need for care after hospital discharge, death and quality of life, among others. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
