The University of Rochester has filed a patent on several ideas to help prevent early labor and the premature delivery of low-birth-weight babies. view more (2006-03-23)
Pregnancy situations have impact on brain development in pre-term infants
Brain development in infants who are born very prematurely is still incomplete. Factors that cause premature birth may have an impact on the development of the premature infant's brain both during pregnancy and later on after birth. view more (2008-08-28)
Calcium during pregnancy reduces harmful blood lead levels
Pregnant women who take high levels of daily calcium supplements show a marked reduction in lead levels in their blood, suggesting calcium could play a critical role in reducing fetal and infant exposure. view more (2008-09-10)
Repeat C-section before 39 weeks raises risk of neonatal illness

Duration of breast feeding may influence health in later life
Breast feeding in infancy is related to reduced arterial function 20 years later, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Although breast feeding should continue to be recommended to promote infant health, these findings raise an important question about the optimal duration of breast feeding. Leeson and colleagues measured arterial distensibility (a... view more... (2001-03-13)
Temperament linked to onset of cancer and early death in female rats
Female rats that are apprehensive of new experiences as infants maintain that temperament and die earlier from mammary and pituitary tumors than do their more adventuresome sisters view more (2006-10-19)
Some evidence that breast feeding protects against cot death (SIDS)
Breastfeeding might protect against cot death, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-05-20)
Hormone's role in insects could give insight for cancer treatment, malnutrition
Starvation typically has dire consequences for an organism's growth. In the tobacco hawkmoth, tissues starved during the last stage of larval development stop growing because they lack the proper nutrients. view more (2006-06-02)
Scientists link immune system's natural killer cells to infant liver disease
Scientists have linked an overactive response by one of the immune system's key weapons against infection - natural killer, or NK, cells - to the onset of biliary atresia in infants, a disease where blocked bile ducts can cause severe liver damage and death. view more (2009-07-23)
Gut check: Tracking the ecosystem within us
For more than 100 years, scientists have known that humans carry a rich ecosystem within their intestines. An astonishing number and variety of microbes, including as many as 400 species of bacteria, help humans digest food, mitigate disease, regulate fat storage, and even promote the formation of blood vessels. view more (2007-06-26)
Combination vaccines okay for infants, study shows
A University of Rochester study brings relief to new parents who, while navigating a jam-packed childhood vaccine schedule, can expect to soothe their newborn through as many as 15 "pokes" by his or her six-month checkup. view more (2007-10-04)
Thin babies are vulnerable to heart disease if they are poor as adults
Men who are thin at birth and have poor living standards in adult life are at highest risk of coronary heart disease, finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2001-11-28)
Tobacco Smoke Linked to Allergic Rhinitis in Infants
University of Cincinnati (UC) epidemiologists say it's environmental tobacco smoke-not the suspected visible mold-that drastically increases an infant's risk for developing allergic rhinitis by age 1. view more (2006-05-18)
Community-based behavior change management cuts neonatal mortality in half
A community-based program that reinforces basic childbirth and newborn care practices can reduce a baby's risk of death within the first month of life by as much as 54 percent, according to a study in rural India led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in collaboration with CSM Medical University in Lucknow, India. view more (2008-09-26)
Adding fatty acids to formula milk may cut heart disease in later life
Adding long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to infant formula milk is associated with lower blood pressure later in childhood, and may cut the risk of heart disease in adult life, finds a study in this week's BMJ. In a 1992 trial, 111 newborn infants were fed with a formula containing long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) and 126... view more... (2003-04-30)
Bacterial infections in premature babies more common than previously realized
Premature babies are subject to a host of threats that can result in fetal/neonatal disease. In a study published in the January 2008 issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, researchers from the University of Alabama-Birmingham Medical School and the Drexel University College of Medicine found that genital mycoplasmas are a... view more...

UCSD/Boston University find antidepressants may affect fetus
A University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine collaborative study with Boston University's Slone Epidemiology Center found an increased risk of persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) in newborns of mothers who used certain commonly prescribed antidepressants in late pregnancy. view more (2006-02-09)
Tel Aviv University gives preemies a fighting chance
When a child is born premature - and more than one in ten infants in the U.S. is - its future is already compromised. One of the common problems associated with premature births is "brittle bones," or osteopenia of prematurity (OOP). It can cause bone fractures and rickets in the infant, and osteoporosis later in life. view more (2007-12-05)
One-Third Of Child Rape In South Africa Committed By School Teachers (pp 274, 319)
Results of a national survey in South Africa of more than 11,000 women aged under 50 years-detailed in a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET-suggest that child rape is becoming more common, with a third of rape of girls perpetrated by school teachers. Sexual abuse of girls is a problem worldwide, and a growing concern in sub-Saharan... view more... (2002-01-23)
HIV study prompts call for revision of breastfeeding guidelines
