When assessing a newborn, the nurse should cover and report the 5 manifestations included in the process for determining the Apgar score.

Apgar score is a score given to newborn babies following a series of evaluations. The purpose of this score is to detect health issues and determine the level of immediate care the baby requires. The evaluations include measurements of:

  • Heart Rate
  • Breathing effort
  • Muscle tone
  • Reflex
  • Color

Heart rate and breathing effort are self-explanatory. They seek to determine if the heart and lungs of the newborn are functioning as intended. Meanwhile, the Muscle tone evaluation looks for any deformities in the muscles of the newborn, looking to confirm that the child is able to properly flex and move the arms and legs. Reflex tells whether the child has a strong cry and responds to stimulation as per the norm. Finally, color is a test to check for proper circulation of irrigation of specific parts throughout the body, primarily the hands and feet.

When assessing the newborn, the nurse should report each of these manifestations, after scoring them from 0 to 2. Most babies should score a total of 8-9 points, 10 being superb health. Those newborns who for a series of reasons score below a 6 are considered as being in imminent danger and require intensive care.

What have scientists learn about glia cells through recent research?
Assoli18 [71]

The current issue of the journal Science (November 5) marks a turning point in research on the brain. This event is fascinating not only for the wealth of new information about how the brain functions and how it fails in mental and neurological illness, but equally as a rare display of a field of science changing course. Such transitions are the lore of scientific history, but rarely do we have the opportunity to witness such pivotal moments in real time.


<span>ADVERTISEMENT</span>

The journal Science is a premier international journal covering all areas of science, and this issue contains a special section on glia. Glia, in contrast to neurons, are brain cells that do not generate electrical impulses, and there are a lot of them—85 percent of the cells in the brain. Yet, these cells have been largely neglected for 100 years. I call this new frontier of neuroscience "The Other Brain," because we are only now beginning to explore it. The new findings are expanding our concept of information processing in the brain. They are leading rapidly to new treatments for diseases ranging from spinal cord injury to brain cancer to chronic pain, and Alzheimer's disease. And they are overturning a century of conventional thinking about how the brain operates at the most fundamental level. 


In the past, glia were understood to support neurons; to feed them and clean up after them, and to respond to brain injury. But these functions were regarded as peripheral to the exciting functions that neurons perform in processing information and storing memories. Consequently, research on glia did not fare well in the fierce competition for the limited grant funding for brain research. Neuroscientists were not trained in glial science, and the standard texts cover glia superficially, if at all. Editors at major journals were not well versed in these odd and very complicated brain cells. As a consequence, glial research was rarely published in high-impact scientific journals. These forces dragged on glial researchers for decades. Now all of this is changing.


The functions of glia can be broadly divided into three main categories, and four very different types of glia serve these different functions. Astrocytes, glia so named because their shape reminded early anatomists of stars, fill the spaces between neurons. Astrocytes provide the energy source to neurons; they maintain the chemical environment surrounding neurons within the narrow limits required for neurons to survive and fire electrical impulses, and to communicate at synapses.
