Abstract
Deletion 22q11.2 syndrome (Del22) (DiGeorge/Velo-Cardio-Facial syndrome) is characterized by congenital heart defect (CHD), palatal anomalies, facial dysmorphisms, neonatal hypocalcemia, immune deficit, speech and learning disabilities. CHD is present in 75% of patients with Del22.
PROPHYLAXIS of BACTERIAL ENDOCARDITIS
If you have congenital heart disease, print out this information and give it to your physician. You can also download a PDF version of the wallet card from AHA.
Antibiotic therapy must be practiced for prophylaxis of the bacterial endocarditis, every tyme the patient must be take surgical manipulations as of diagnostic or therapeutic type, as is indicated in the attached outline.
PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS IN NEWBORN INFANTS
DOPPLER CLASSIFICATION OF PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS
IN ?NEWBORN INFANTS : PREDICTIVITY OF SPONTANEOUS VERSUS TERAPEUTIC CLOSURE

SUMMARY
Diastolic ductal steal in newborns with patent ductus ?arteriosus (PDA) ?may generate distrectual ischemia. The AA. propose a Doppler derived classification of five types of fluximetric patterns correlated semiquanitatively to the entity of ductal shunt wich may affect the clinical outcome and management.

The failures of current medical therapeutics for the management of fetal complete atrioventricular
block with hydrops fetalis, as well as the increasing number of fetuses at risk for acute bradycardia during interventional procedures and fetal surgeries, have inspired the author of this article to develop a monolithic pacemaker designed for closed-thorax, closed-uterus, closed–maternal abdomen over-the-wire deployment under ultrasound guidance.
