OBJECTIVE: To evaluate 3 published automated algorithms for detecting seizures in neonatal EEG. METHODS: One-minute, artifact-free EEG segments consisting of either EEG seizure activity or non-seizure EEG activity were extracted from EEG recordings of 13 neonates. Three published neonatal seizure detection algorithms were tested on each EEG recording. In an attempt to obtain improved more...

This obstetric case shows two false negative Kleihauer tests and two persistently positive Kleihauer tests leading to unnecessary administration of anti-D immunoglobulin
Abstract:
This obstetric case shows two false negative Kleihauer tests and two persistently positive Kleihauer tests leading to unnecessary administration of anti-D immunoglobulin. A diagnosis of hereditary persistence foetal haemoglobin (HPFH) was only confirmed by access to flow cytometry making use of both anti-HbF and anti-D labels. The case highlights the importance of a high index of more...

The year 2000 saw a dramatic increase in the incidence of measles infections in Ireland, with >1500 cases documented. Initial cases were reported from an area of Dublin with low vaccine uptake and a large immigrant population. Molecular epidemiologic findings revealed that the strain of measles virus responsible for this outbreak was the genotype D2 strain, which is closely related to more...

This case report discusses a 13-year-old boy who, after exercise, had respiratory distress and left upper quadrant abdominal pain
Abstract:
The authors report on a 13-year-old boy who, after exercise, had respiratory distress and left upper quadrant abdominal pain. Initially, a mistaken diagnosis of pneumothorax was made, and a chest tube was inserted. A nasogastric tube was then visualized on chest x-ray in the left hemithorax. He underwent a laparotomy and had herniation of spleen, stomach, and large and small bowel in more...
