Experimental data indicate a particular vulnerability of striatal neurons in the developing
brain, and together with the idea that the striatum is important for context recognition and …

In premature fetal sheep (89-93 days gestation) we examined the fetal response to asphyxia
induced by 30 min of complete umbilical cord occlusion. Fetuses were also studied during …

Screening in an attempt to prevent disease is attractive in comparison with the traditional
medical model of reacting to disease. Prevention avoids morbidity and mortality and offers a …

In order to examine the role of oxidative stress in asphyxia-induced perinatal braindamage,
near-term fetal lambs were subjected to umbilical cord occlusion for approximately 60 min …

Objectives: Our purpose was to determine whether systemic hypotension induced by rapid
withdrawal of fetal blood would induce periventricular leukomalacia in the brain of …

The authors examined the relationships between gestational maturity, perinatal hypoxic risk,
and intellectual outcome in early school-age children. The sample was composed of 48 …

Hemodynamic changes associated with acute asphyxia differ from those observed in
chronic asphyxia. The information on cerebral hemodynamic alterations from both …

Objective: To assess the development of brain damage in an ovine fetal chronic cocaine
model. To evaluate the effect of isolated hypoxic tests on this model and to correlate …

The outcome of an asphyxial insult to the brain can be envisaged as the balance between
injurious and protective mechanisms. Both the injuring and protective responses may be …

Modern obstetrics must try to maintain high safety standards for both mother and child and,
at the same time, satisfy the general desire of women for natural birth. Standards of safety …
