Behavioral changes in family members before the second child’s birth.

P-201: The Role of P53 Family Members in Infertility

Background: P53, p63, and p73 transcription factors which are belong to The p53 family, are conserved during evolution. They have important roles in many molecular and cellular functions, including tumor suppression, the development of epithelial cell layers, and the development of central nervous system and immune system. Studies show these molecules also have role in maintaining the genomic i...

Longitudinal changes in family outcomes of very low birth weight.

OBJECTIVES Although children with very low birth weight (VLBW, <1500 g) are at high risk for developmental impairments, we know little about the long-term effects of VLBW on families. This study examined long-term family outcomes and their stability over time. METHODS Participants were the families of 64 children with <750 g birth weight, 54 with 750-1499 g birth weight, and 66 term-born cont...

Before birth--after death.

F our recent events have reminded us that many people are concerned about what happens before birth and after death, even if what happens before birth happens to those who will never be born and even if the near death happenings occur after death and to those who cannot care about them. The recent events involve a decision of the European Court of Human Rights, a decision of the UK Human Fertil...

Senescence— Before Birth

Cellular senescence— defined as a process of stable cell-cycle arrest—was first identified as a biological state that marked the end of a cell’s replicative life (Hayflick, 1965). In the investigations that followed, senescence was established as a component of disease states {e.g. DNA damage} (Kuilman et al., 2010), and was correlated with aging-associated disorders (Keyes et al., 2005; Baker ...
