The aim of this study was to examine the distribution and determinants of C. Burnetii past infection
Abstract:
Despite the widespread prevalence of infection with Coxiella burnetii, there have been few large population-based studies examining the epidemiology of this infection. The aim of this study was to examine the distribution and determinants of C. burnetii past infection in Northern Ireland (NI). Coxiella burnetii phase II specific IgG antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked more...

The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of illegal drug use, smoking and alcohol consumption in Irish primigravidas
Abstract:
Abstract To evaluate the prevalence of illegal drug use, smoking and alcohol consumption in Irish primigravidas, we interviewed 1011 women at their booking visit. A total of 23.5% (235) of women had used illegal drugs prior to their first pregnancy, 28.9% were ex-smokers and 27.9% were still smoking during pregnancy. A total of 53.9% admitted to drinking alcohol during pregnancy. more...

The aim of this study was to examine the in vivo model of congenital cytomegalovirus to examine both the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses in vertically infected neonates and their mothers
Abstract:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common cause of congenital infection worldwide and occurs as a result of transplacental transmission of the virus. The human neonate is highly susceptible to infection due to a combination of immaturity of the immune system and antigenic inexperience. This study uses the in vivo model of congenital CMV to examine both the humoral and cell-mediated more...

The aim of this study was to investigate molecular markers for AECs-I [ICAM-1, T1alpha, aquaporin 5 ] and molecular markers for AECs-II [thyroid transcription factor-1), surfactant protein in the nitrofen-induced congenital diaphragmatic hernia lung
Abstract:
Pulmonary hypoplasia is the principal cause of morbidity and mortality in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Still, relatively little is known about the mechanisms causing lung hypoplasia associated with CDH. The differentiation from alveolar epithelial cells type II (AECs-II) into alveolar epithelial cells type I (AECs-I) is one of the key processes in lung development more...

This case report discusses a case of a successful emergency caesarean section in a schizophrenic patient on clozapine treatment.
Abstract:
Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic agent with a novel pharmacological profile and multiple clinical properties. Because of its side effects, it is recommended in treatment of severe resistant schizophrenia for which purpose it is remarkably effective. Little is known about the safety profile of clozapine during pregnancy and labour and because it is now used more commonly to manage more...

The aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that adriamycin administration could promote upregulation of FN expression increasing gut-notochord adherence and development of abnormal ventral notochordal branching in the Adriamycin rat model
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The VACTERL association is a spectrum of clinical conditions, including esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), which affects approximately 1 in 5,000 live human births. The administration of intraperitoneal Adriamycin to pregnant rats reliably induces anomalies, such as EA and TEF, in their offspring, in what is known as the Adriamycin rat model (ARM). more...

Labor is a mild proinflammatory state that is associated with fetal leukocytosis. Elective cesarean section has been linked with increased neonatal morbidity, which may be partially immune mediated. We hypothesized that labor may alter neutrophil phenotype and thereby decrease neonatal complications. We characterized neutrophil function and survival in normal neonates after either more...
