	Effects of Circumcision With and Without Anesthesia

	Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) was developed in 1973 by Dr. T.
		It evaluates a wide range of 38 behaviors to build a behavioral profile of an infant up to two months old.
		This approach was innovative for recognising that a baby is a highly developed organism, even when just newly born.

		The neonates of heavy-marijuana-using mothers had better scores on autonomic stability, quality of alertness, irritability, and self- regulation and were judged to be more rewarding for caregivers.
		Because the effects of marijuana were expected to be subtle,4 and because the results of studies using the NBAS to examine the effects of substance abuse on neonatal behavior have been inconclusive, 6, 8, 16 the new supplementary items were administered to better capture the more latent effects of maternal marijuana use on neonatal behavior.
		The course of the pregnancies were similar in each group and the two groups of neonates were not significantly different according to physical examination data, including birth weight and length and gestational age.23 Because Apgar scores were not recorded by hospital nurses at standard time intervals, they were less reliable.

	The Clinical Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale Training Program, The Brazelton Institute
		The NBO is a structured set of observations designed to help the clinician and parent together, to observe the infant's behavioral capacities and identify the kind of support the infant needs for his successful growth and development.
		The Newborn Behavioral Observations (NBO) system, initially known as the Clinical Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (CLNBAS), comes from this tradition and grew from our desire to provide clinicians with a scale that retained the conceptual richness of the NBAS but shifted the focus from assessment and diagnosis to observation and relationship-building.
		The concepts underlying newborn behavior are, therefore, complemented by theoretical principles describing the transition to parenthood and the nature of the parent-infant relationship and by clinical principles describing the nature of relationship-building in clinical practice.

		The subjects of this case-control study were low birthweight infants admitted to the NICU at the Nagasaki University Hospital between 1988 and 1994.
		Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the relationship between newborn's behavioral patterns in NBAS cluster scores and developmental status at five years.
		The results may suggest that the NBAS, when used serially in the postnatal period, not only can help identify neonates who are at risk for CP but it can help clinicians develop a management protocol for infants with cerebral palsy.

	Frances Degen Horowitz
		The definitions of optimal newborn behavior were organized so that for some items optimal was at the low end of a nine-point scale, and for others it was at the middle or high end of the scale.
		Horowitz did not go along with this view because her "view of development is all about multiple variables functioning in a dynamic equation over time." She feels that there are many complex factors affecting development, and measures taken at birth cannot be used to determine or predict what goes on later in life (Horowitz, 2001).
		This duality involving the biologically determined general outlines of the behavioral agenda and the environmentally controlled opportunities to learn can be thought of as reflecting both universals and nonuniversals of behavioral development (Horowitz, 1989).

		Berry Brazelton, president and chair of the Brazelton Foundation Inc. Barnard is being honored for developing evidence-based assessment and parent education protocols that are used worldwide and have revolutionized clinical practice with infants and their parents, and for her international advocacy efforts that have led to changes in health policy that promote infant development.
		The culmination of her relentless efforts to make connections between academics, state policy leaders, innovative practitioners, the media, and parents was the opening of the Center on Infant Mental Health and Development (CIMHD), a partnership between the University of Washington School of Nursing and the Center for Human Development and Disabilities in Seattle, Washington.
		One of Brazelton's most important contributions, the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale, which measures a newborn infant's capacity to respond to sights and sounds, was first published in 1973 and is now used in health care and research facilities worldwide.

		Developmental delays were seen at all ages and were greater in children who were smaller in size, had neonatal signs of intoxication, and/or had a history of nail deformities.
		This exposure appears to cause a behavior disorder and perhaps increased activity; the effect is persistent over time and appears to be similar in children born up to 6 years after the mother was exposed.
		The effects were similar in the health, habit, and behavioral subscores and persistent as the children aged.

		Developed by psychologist T. Berry Brazelton (1918-) in 1979, the Brazelton Neonatal Test is also known as the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS), or Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (BNBAS).
		The test is administered when an infant is three days old and again a few days later to check the accuracy of the initial assessment.
		It is useful not only for assessing an infant's status and detecting any neurological impairment but also as a way for parents to learn more about their newborns and become more effective in aiding their development.

	Ab Initio International
		Kevin Nugent, Director of the Brazelton Institute - It is thirty years since the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale was first published.
		The Brazelton Institute received an award for the Noonan Foundation to test out the effectiveness of the Clinical Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (Nugent and Brazelton, 2001) with infants with disabilities in Early Intervention settings.
		If the study can demonstrate significant effects of the CLNBAS on mothers of at-risk infants, it will have profound implications for very early assessment and intervention with infants who are at-risk for developmental delays and will provide evidence for the value of the CLNBAS system as a model of primary prevention and evidence-based practice.
