commission into silence, for it offers no recommendations on improving the maternity services-despite our perinatal mortality figures, with their alarming regional variations; despite mounting public concern that perinatal mortality reflects only a fraction of perinatal morbidity; and despite a rising murmur of anger from parents left to raise spastic children because of inadequate maternity fa...

Cradle to Grave : The Environmental Impacts from Coal Cradle to Grave : The Environmental Impacts from Coal Clean Air Task

Stable neuron numbers from cradle to grave.

T he human cerebral cortex is the main organ responsible for our cognitive abilities, e.g., our abilities to use language and math, to reason and theorize, and to read and write articles such as this one, essentially defining who we are and what we do, and, most importantly, storing a lifetime of experience. The critical cell type underlying these functions is the neuron. The human neocortex co...

Clearance and control mechanisms of hemoglobin from cradle to grave.

Hemoglobin is a highly reactive molecule, and besides its oxygen-carrying capacity, it has multiple enzymatic and ligand-binding activities that have only recently been explored as fundamental pathophysiologic mechanisms. Nitric oxide neutralization, generation of potentially toxic radical species, and heme-mediated inflammation are among the most extensively studied mechanisms of Hb-mediated p...

From the cradle to the grave: age differences in attachment from early adulthood to old age.

OBJECTIVE Although attachment dynamics are thought to be important across the life span, relatively few studies have examined attachment processes beyond young adulthood. Extant research on age differences in attachment orientation has yielded conflicting results and interpretations. The purpose of this study was to provide a more complete picture of age-related differences in attachment anxiet...
