Leading cause of death in 'preemies' might be controlled by resetting a molecular switch
Blocking signals from a key molecular receptor that normally switches on the intestine's immune response but instead becomes too intense in the presence of stress and toxins may help reverse necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a leading cause of death in premature newborns. view more (2007-12-03)

Study suggests brain haemorrhage in babies older than one month unlikely to be a result of traumatic delivery (p 846)
UK research in this week's issue of THE LANCET shows how asymptomatic subdural haematomas (bleeding in the brain) among newborn babies are more common than previously thought, are associated with the mode of delivery during childbirth, and are undetectable after a baby is a month old. The latter finding could have implications for the diagnosis of... view more... (2004-03-10)
