Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphism in Egyptian children with CAP: A case-control study.

abstract：:The pediatric pneumogram is a frequently used tool in the diagnosis and management of apnea during infancy. We analyzed 287 pneumographic recordings from 123 full-term infants (63 males) obtained during the first 12 months of life to establish normative values for apnea, periodic breathing, and bradycardia. The result...
