Neonatal abstinence syndrome is a condition in which a fetus is exposed to drugs while in the mother's uterus, and then goes...
PRIMITIVE NEONATAL REFLEXESMOTHER'S POSTUREHuman neonates are born with an innate ability to find the breast, latch and feed. Unfortunately, some of these very reflexes can also hinder babies' efforts to breastfeed depending on the mother's posture. This article provides a brief overview on the...
3) Effects of naltrexone on the growth and development of newborn rats Chronic administration of naltrexone to neonatal rats before weaning has a dose-dependent two-way regulatory effect on growth and development. Repeated administration of large or small doses blocks opioid receptors and affects the...
Lower levels of stress-related hormones have been seen in patients delivering vaginally and higher in patients with operative vaginal deliveries. The significance of long-term neonatal outcomes is unknown.(2) Advertisements Comparative Pain of Vaginal Delivery and C-section During the process, yes, bu...
There is also a greater likelihood of exposed infants to be admitted into the neonatal intensive care unit relative to unexposed controls (Adams et al, 2002). Newborns exposed in utero to nicotine are more irritable and have poorer attention than unexposed infants, and they exhibit hypertonicity...

neonatal imitation paradigm. Finally, newborns are able to detect fine differences in durational changes for speech sounds, for example, fricative /s/ within bisyllabic nonsense words (/asa/vs./assa/) [57]. Auditory memory has also been revealed by MMN in awake or asleep newborns, but the ...
Looking at the protective factors could be particularly fruitful for explaining the "relative grace period" at the beginning of life. "Early infant research showed 100 years ago that infants are equipped with powerful protection in the first weeks of life: their innate neonatal reflexes. These ensu...
CB chemoreceptors have an adaptive function since they detect the PaO2 and, upon its decrease, initiate reflexes aimed at increasing the pumping of air rich in O2 from the atmosphere to the alveoli. However, the mechanisms of CB function at the cellular level have been an enigma for many yea...
The benefits are dose and PA-specific (being Spm > Spd > Put). In addition, PAs have also been proposed as being involved in the correct immunological system development in neonatal intestine [146,149]. 5.5. The Particular Case of Agmatine Agm is a member of the PA family, as it is ...
