A full-term male newborn who was delivered via repeat cesarean delivery and whose mother had diabetes mellitus. In order to identify potential RDS risk factors, the maternal history must be examined. Male gender, cesarean birth without prior labor, and maternal diabetes, which results in high levels of insulin that impede the formation of surfactant, are risk factors for the term infant that place the infant at greatest danger.

<h3>What is respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)?</h3>
  • When a baby is born early (prematurely), their lungs are not fully matured, which causes respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). A baby is more likely to develop RDS and require additional oxygen and assistance breathing the earlier in life they are born.
  • RDS is brought on by the infant's lungs not producing adequate surfactant. At around week 26 of pregnancy, the lungs begin to produce a liquid called surfactant. The lungs produce more surfactant as the fetus develops.

When cardiac muscles are damaged they are replaced by
barxatty [35]
Similar to skeletal muscle tissue, cardiac muscle does not regenerate to a great extent. Dead cardiac muscle tissue is replaced by scar tissue, which cannot contract. As scar tissue accumulates, the heart loses its ability to pump because of the loss of contractile power.
