Alterations of enteric nerve plexus in experimental gastroschisis: is there a delay in the maturation?
There were significant differences in the nervous plexus of the intestine of fetuses with gastroschisis relative to the controls. The observed morphologic changes may be caused by alteration in the maturation of the intestinal neuronal in gastroschisis. This alteration may explain the transitory intestinal hypomotility observed in infants after surgical correction of gastroschisis.
Albumin and CRP were associated with 28-day mortality in hospitalized patients with CAP, and these markers increased prognostic performance when combined with the PSI scale.
