Erythropoietin promotes hippocampal neurogenesis in in-vitro models of neonatal stroke.

The results of this study support the hypothesis that erythropoietin not only prevents ischemia induced cell death but promotes neurogenesis and neuronal cell fate commitment in in vitro models of neonatal stroke.

A comparison of respiratory patterns in healthy term infants placed in car safety seats and beds

Description: Scientific article describes breathing patterns of newborns in lying and semirecumbent position. In those newborns who are transported in the semirecumbent position the percentage of obstructive breathing pauses is higher. The results of this study suggest that in healthy term newborns, significant desaturations were observed in both car beds and car seats as compared with hospital cribs. Therefore, these safety devices should only be used for protection during travel and not as replacements for cribs.

Angiotensin II receptor blockers in pregnancy : a report of five cases.

Description: Sartans are often prescribed as antihypertensive drugs in population. There are not many reports regarding toxic action of sartanes on the fetus. First report was published in 2001. We presented five cases of pregnancy and influence on fetuses in women who were taking sartans in pregnancy. Based on literature reports and our cases we conclude that women in reproductive age should be informed regarding teratogenic influences of sartanes. In cases of unplanned pregnancies the sartane therapy should be stopped as soon as diagnosis of pregnancy is made.

HIF-1[alpha]-deficient mice have increased brain injury after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia.

The results of this study suggest neuroprotective features of the HIF-1 alpha protein, as it lowers brain injury in mice after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia, also by means of increasing the levels of erythropoietin in the neuronal tissue.

Propagation velocity of electrical signals of the uterus is higher in patients during labor compared to non-labor states

Changes in the electrical properties of the myometrium including propagation and frequency indicate that significant increases in cellular electrical coupling and excitation occur prior to true preterm labor. PV and PS peak frequency, used jointly, are more predictive of preterm delivery than either variable alone. EMG is more accurate in distinguishing between true and false preterm labor than other methods used clinically.
