Study finds way to protect rabbits from cerebral palsy
A team of scientists has created two chemical compounds that appear to protect a fetus from developing brain damage or cerebral palsy from a lack of oxygen. Mamas Boy divx Heart Condition download The team used experiments with rabbits to synthesize the compounds. These compounds block an enzyme in brain cells that produces nitric oxide. At normal levels, nitric oxide is important for brain functioning, but at high levels it can cause brain damage. Lonely Street movies Siu lam juk kau ipod Portal video A Good Man Is Hard to Find full movie download Star Trek dvd An excess of nitric oxide in the brain is believed to play a role in cerebral palsy. In experiments with rabbits, excess nitric oxide caused most of the fetuses to die, and those that survived were severely brain-damaged. All of the animals treated with the synthetic compounds lived, while those given the placebo…

Civilian doctor is considered government employee
A court ruled that civilian doctors working at a military hospital can be considered as government employees as far as the Federal Tort Claims Act is concerned. Saving Shiloh As a result of the U.S. Circuit Court ruling, a Navy serviceman and his wife won a $40 million award after their son suffered extensive birth trauma in a U.S. Navy hospital in Florida that resulted in severe brain injuries. Though the amount of the award is being disputed on appeal, a central facet of the case — that the civilian doctor was, for all intents and purposes, a government employee and therefore subject to FTCA — has withstood the court’s scrutiny.

Final weeks of pregnancy are critical
.!. Babies born just a few weeks prematurely are more than three times as likely to have cerebral palsy than full-term infants. In fact, those last few weeks of pregnancy are critical to a child’s health and development. New research indicates that late preterm infants (those born 34-36 weeks gestation) had a much higher risk of developmental delays than babies born full-term. The earlier an infant is born, the higher the risk of some neuro-developmental problems, the research shows. For example, infants born between 30 and 33 weeks gestation were nearly eight times as likely as full-term infants to have cerebral palsy. This adds to the growing body of evidence showing that being born just a few weeks too soon can have lasting consequences that can no longer be described as temporary or benign. These findings reinforce the message that a few extra weeks of pregnancy can have a beneficial…
