brachial plexus injury? When passing through the birth canal, one of the baby's shoulders can get caught, causing
excessive stretching of the neck and nerves travelling through it. This can result in some or all of the nerves being
stretched apart or torn out of the spinal cord. This pamphlet gives parents information on ways to help with recovery,
what the long-term outcomes might be, what to avoid.)

globules rouges, qui sont habituellement ronds et flexibles et qui glissent les uns sur les autres dans tous les vaisseaux
sanguins du corps. Toutefois, chez les personnes atteintes d’anémie falciforme les globules rouges sont coudés ou en
forme de C et rigides. Les globules rouges déformés peuvent s’accumuler dans les petits vaisseaux sanguins et
bloquer la circulation du sang. Ce blocage empêche le sang et l’oxygène de se rendre aux organes. On parle alors de «
crise drépanocytaire ». Ce genre de crises peut causer de grandes douleurs, endommager les organes, entraîner des
infections graves et causer des accidents vasculaires cérébraux (AVC). Les cellules déformées ne vivent pas aussi
longtemps, ce qui entraîne une pénurie de globules rouges, nommée anémie. What is the Maritime Newborn

need to help labour start. This is called "Induction of Labour".)
