And for many drugs, there simply is not enough research to know their effects on an unborn baby. Your provider can help you determine whether the benefits of a certain drug outweigh the risks in your case. Although the placenta acts as a barrier to most bacteria, some viruses and small ...
Those branch out further in a number of chorionic villi that make up the surface of the cotyledon. Due to the presence of a placental barrier the blood flow of the mother and fetus is not connected. Exchange of materials is performed with the help of diffusion, osmosis, or active transporti...
These are all side effects of the drug. It is important to remember that the whole body must be taken into account when a drug is administered.Another area of concern in the distribution of drugs is the crossing of the placental barrier. Drugs may actively or passively cross the placental ...
This work constitutes the first reported isolation of EHV-2 from an aborted equine fetus. The presence of EHV-2 in the lung of the aborted fetus would indicate that this virus is capable of crossing the placental barrier. However, no cause-effect relationship was established between the EHV-2...
Measurements of the Yukawa couplings of the recently discovered boson h to fermion pairs will provide a new arena for studying flavor physics. We analyze the lessons that can be learned by measuring the h decay rates into the charged lepton pairs, τ +τ -, µ+µ- and τ±µ∓. ...
Furthermore, Mn crosses the placental barrier by active transport (Krachler et al., 1999); thus, its levels in cord blood are as much as three times higher than those in maternal blood (Zhou et al., 2019). Show abstract Results of the first national human biomonitoring in Slovenia: ...
Bai J, Deng S, Fu H, Yang Q, Ren F, Zeng S, Chen Z, Yang Y, Wu Z (2023) Chlorpyrifos induces placental oxidative stress and barrier dysfunction by inducing mitochondrial apoptosis through the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway: in vitro and in vivo studies. Sci Total Environ spiepr A3B2 twbc...
Though neonatal pneumonia is serious and would be a very frightening diagnosis to have, babies are tougher than they seem. Little ones are very likely to respond to treatment. Early diagnosis and proper medical care are the keys to treating infants with pneumonia. ...
An umbilical cord, also known as a funis, is a tube found in placental mammals linking the unborn animal to its placenta. The placenta acts as a barrier within the uterus that stops many harmful substances from entering, as well as a store of energy and blood transfer for the developing ...
Background: There is evidence that nanoparticles (NP) cross epithelial and endothelial body barriers. We hypothesized that gold (Au) NP, once in the blood circulation of pregnant rats, will cross the placental barrier during pregnancy size-dependently and accumulate in the fetal organism by 1. ...
