We've known for a while that alcohol reaching the fetus can lead to mental retardation and heart defects and that the stew of toxins in tobacco can cause upper-respiratory-tract and ear infections. But these compounds work by more or less poisoning the baby. The result is often a child ...

Human neonates can discriminate phonemes, but the neural mechanism underlying this ability is poorly understood. Here we show that the neonatal brain can learn to discriminate natural vowels from backward vowels, a contrast unlikely to have been learnt in the womb. Using functional near-infrared spe...
In the United States, urothelial carcinomas account for more than 90% of all bladder cancers. Squamous cell carcinomas make up 3%-8%, and adenocarcinomas make up 1%-2%. Only transitional cells normally line the rest of the urinary tract. The kidney's internal collecting system, the ureters ...
, 2008). Early colonization of Clostridium and other gut-derived and/or anaerobic bacteria, particularly on the youngest infants and coupled with a significant increase in Bacteroides with age, is likely driven by the proximity to the gastrointestinal tract and the fact that there is a diaper ...

the colonization of the skin, the lungs, and the gastrointestinal tract. However, at least partly because of impaired antigen presentation, lymphocytes are still immature in infants, with abundance of immunosuppressive T-helper cells (Th2), hypo-responsive T-cytotoxic cells, and naive B cells. ...

The overall number of lymphocytes rapidly expands in the first few weeks after birth because of the colonization of the skin, the lungs, and the gastrointestinal tract. However, at least partly because of impaired antigen presentation, lymphocytes are still immature in infants, with abundance of ...
