Baby Blue: Pale blue walls and whitewashed floorboards create a bright and modern look. An all-white scheme can look rather stark, but just adding chalky baby blue to the walls gives the space a softer, more easy-going feel. Cushions and throws add splashes of bright cerise, blue and pink, and these can be swapped around or added to any time to change the feel.
Septa/ Defects. Ventricular septal defects, when isolated and small, cause little harm and allow a long life if there is adequate protection against bacterial infection of the defect. When complicated by a high degree of right ventricular infundibular or pulmonary valve stenosis, it gives rise to the morbus ceruleus, or blue baby. The blue coloration of the baby's skin is due to a lack of oxygen resulting from much of the blood bypassing the lungs. Instead of traveling to the lungs from the right ventricle, the blood passes through the septal opening directly into the left side of the heart, from where it is pumped into the aorta. This condition requires surgical correction if the child is to survive.
CHILDBIRTH is the process by which a baby is expelled from the uterus, or womb, through the vagina to the outside world. Normally, a baby is born about 38 weeks (266 days) after it is conceived. In some cases, however, the baby may be born after only 26 weeks, and in others it may taJce as long as 41 weeks. Generally, if a baby is born before 35 weeks after conception, it is considered to be premature. |
