历经艰难,世界最小婴儿健康成长
CHICAGO -- One is a healthy first-grader, the other an honors college student majoring in psychology. Once the tiniest babies ever born, both girls are thriving, despite long odds when they entered the world weighing less than a pound.
芝加哥报道——曾经世界最小的两名女婴现都已健康成长:一个上小学一年级,另一个是心理学专业的大学荣誉学生。她们出生时都不足1磅(约454克),能否存活还是问题。
The report involves Madeline Mann, born in 1989 weighing 9.9 ounces, then the world record; and 7-year-old Rumaisa Rahman, whose 9.2-ounce birth weight remains the world's tiniest. Rumaisa's birth weight was initially reported as 8.6 ounces, but that figure was based on a different conversionscale.
Tiniest Babies Are Growing Up Healthy Despite Odds
报告记录,1989年出生的玛德琳-曼恩体重是9.9盎司(约281克),是当时世界上最小的婴儿;现在7岁的鲁美莎-拉赫曼出生时只有9.2盎司(约261克),是目前世界上最小的婴儿。起初,由于换算标准不同,报道称鲁美莎只有8.6盎司(约244克)重。
Bell estimates that about 7,500 U.S. babies are born each year weighing less than 1 pound, and that about 10 percent survive. Sometimes tiny babies with zero chance of surviving show signs of life at birth, and may be able to breathe for a short time if put in an incubatorand hooked upto a breathing machine and intravenoustreatments. "But even so, if it's a baby that doesn't have a chance, we don't want to put the baby and the family through the discomfort," Bell said.
