Effects of neonatal and prepubertal hormonal manipulations upon estrogen neuroprotection of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system within female and male mice.

Estrogen (E) can function as a neuroprotectant of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic (NSDA) system against methamphetamine (MA) neurotoxicity in female, but not male, mice. In the present report we examined whether the organizational effects of gonadal…

Postnatal developmental changes in the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body in a mouse model of auditory pathology.

Age-related hearing loss (AHL) is a multifactorial disorder characterized by a decline in peripheral and central auditory function. Here, we examined synaptic transmission in DBA/2 mice, which carry the AHL8 gene, at the identifiable glutamatergic…

Postmortem vitreous bevacizumab levels of an infant treated for retinopathy of prematurity.

We report the vitreous concentration of bevacizumab after injection for the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). A premature neonate diagnosed with type 1 ROP was treated in both eyes with 0.625 mg intravitreal bevacizumab injection at 32…

Mutation in osteoactivin decreases bone formation in vivo and osteoblast differentiation in vitro.

We have previously identified osteoactivin (OA), encoded by Gpnmb, as an osteogenic factor that stimulates osteoblast differentiation in vitro. To elucidate the importance of OA in osteogenesis, we characterized the skeletal phenotype of a mouse…

Stimulation of distal airspace fluid clearance in guinea pigs involves bumetanide-sensitive ion transport.

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that beta-adrenoceptor stimulation of fetal lung fluid absorption in near-term guinea pig fetuses involves bumetanide-sensitive ion transport. STUDY DESIGN: Fetuses were obtained from…

Characterizing Children Presenting to Three Freestanding EDs.

Analysis of connective tissues by laser capture microdissection and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.

Studies of gene expression from bone, cartilage, and other tissues are complicated by the fact that their RNA, collected and pooled for analysis, often represents a wide variety of composite cells distinct in individual phenotype, age, and state of…

Neonatal glycine encephalopathy: biochemical and neuropathologic findings.

A patient with neonatal glycine encephalopathy who had severe neurologic retardation, spasticity, and seizures died at 17 years of age. Glycine concentration was markedly elevated in brain tissue, especially in the cerebellum. Neuropathologic study…

Gastroschisis: an 18-year review.

From 1972 to 1990, 69 cases of gastroschisis were treated at Akron Children's Hospital Medical Center. Eighty-one percent of these patients underwent primary closure of their abdominal wall defect. Thirteen of 69 patients (19%) required Silastic…

Non-health Care Facility Medication Errors Associated with Hormones and Hormone Antagonists in the United States.

INTRODUCTION: Hormones and hormone antagonists are frequently associated with medication errors and may result in important adverse outcomes. The purpose of this study is to investigate non-health care facility (non-HCF) medication errors associated…

Chlamydia trachomatis and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes: Meta-analysis of Patients With and Without Infection.

OBJECTIVES: We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the association between Chlamydia trachomatis and adverse perinatal outcomes. METHODS: Electronic databases were searched between 1970 and 2013. Included studies reported perinatal outcomes in…

Maturation of the Coordination Between Respiration and Deglutition with and Without Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Lesion in an Animal Model.

The timing of the occurrence of a swallow in a respiratory cycle is critical for safe swallowing, and changes with infant development. Infants with damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which receives sensory information from the larynx and…

LVC Timing in Infant Pig Swallowing and the Effect of Safe Swallowing.

Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury in neonates, a complication of head and neck surgeries, leads to increased aspiration risk and swallowing dysfunction. The severity of resulting sequelae range from morbidity, such as aspiration pneumonia, to…

Pre-pharyngeal Swallow Effects of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Lesion on Bolus Shape and Airway Protection in an Infant Pig Model.

Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) damage in infants leads to increased dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia. Recent work has shown that intraoral transport and swallow kinematics change following RLN lesion, suggesting potential changes in bolus…

Spontaneous prolonged hypertonic uterine contractions (essential uterine hypertonus) and a possible infective etiology.

The management of a pregnant woman presenting with prolonged hypertonic uterine contractions (essential uterine hypertonus) and mildly elevated temperature at term is described. Histology of the placenta, cord and membranes, following delivery,…

Congenital solid neck mass: a unique presentation of Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) presenting in the neonatal period is very rare. In most cases, a self-limited cutaneous disease is the exclusive manifestation. We report an unusual case of neonatal LCH presenting with a large congenital solid…

Reexamination of amphotropic murine leukemia virus neurovirulence: neural stem cell-mediated microglial infection fails to induce acute neurodegeneration.

The 4070A amphotropic murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) has been variably reported to harbor neurovirulence determinants within its env gene. In this report we reexamined this issue by applying two approaches previously demonstrated to amplify murine…

Evolution of hyperphalangy and digit reduction in the cetacean manus.

Cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) have a soft tissue flipper that encases most of the forelimb, and elongated digits with an increased number of phalanges (hyperphalangy). In addition, some cetaceans exhibit a reduction in digit number.…
