Adaptive shut-down of EEG activity predicts critical acidemia in the near-term ovine fetus
In fetal sheep, the electrocorticogram (ECOG) recorded directly from the cortex during repetitive heart rate (FHR) decelerations induced by umbilical cord occlusions (UCO) predictably correlates with worsening hypoxic-acidemia. In human fetal monitoring during labor, the equivalent electroencephalogram (EEG) can be recorded noninvasively from the scalp. We tested the hypothesis that combined fe...
متن کاملAdaptive Brain Shut-Down Counteracts Neuroinflammation in the Near-Term Ovine Fetus
OBJECTIVE Repetitive umbilical cord occlusions (UCOs) in ovine fetus leading to severe acidemia result in adaptive shut-down of electrocortical activity [electrocorticogram (ECoG)] as well as systemic and brain inflammation. We hypothesized that the fetuses with earlier ECoG shut-down as a neuroprotective mechanism in response to repetitive UCOs will show less brain inflammation and, moreover, ...
متن کاملMonitoring Fetal Electrocortical Activity during Labour for Predicting Worsening Acidemia: A Prospective Study in the Ovine Fetus Near Term
BACKGROUND Severe fetal acidemia during labour with arterial pH below 7.00 is associated with increased risk of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Electronic fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring, the mainstay of intrapartum surveillance, has poor specificity for detecting fetal acidemia. We studied brain electrical activity measured with electrocorticogram (ECOG) in the near term ovine fetus subjected...
متن کاملCentral Angiotensin I Increases Swallowing Activity and Oxytocin Release in the Near-Term Ovine Fetus
The brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in hydromineral and neuroendocrine balance. Although previous studies showed that exogenous angiotensin (Ang) II increased dipsogenic and vasopressin responses in near-term fetuses, little is known about the functional development of fetal endogenous brain RAS in the regulation of body fluid homeostasis. To determine the functiona...
متن کاملLong-term hypoxia enhances proopiomelanocortin processing in the near-term ovine fetus.
Secondary stressors in long-term hypoxic (LTH) fetal sheep lead to altered function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Although ACTH is considered the primary mediator of glucocorticoid production in fetal sheep, proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and 22-kDa pro-ACTH (22-kDa ACTH) have been implicated in the regulation of cortisol production in the ovine fetus. This study was designed to deter...
