Quality of Mother–Infant Attachment after Physiological Birth

Quality of survival after severe birth asphyxia.

Thirty-one children who survived severe birth asphyxia defined by a 1-minute Apgar score of 0, or a 5-minute Apgar score of less than 4, have been seen at age 5 to 10 years for neurological and psychological assessment. Their progress has been compared with that of controls matched for sex, birthweight, gestational age, and social class. 29(93%) of the 31 asphyxiated group and all the controls ...

Measuring physiological changes during the transition to life after birth.

The transition to life after birth is characterized by major physiological changes in respiratory and hemodynamic function, which are predominantly initiated by breathing at birth and clamping of the umbilical cord. Lung aeration leads to the establishment of functional residual capacity, allowing pulmonary gas exchange to commence. This triggers a significant decrease in pulmonary vascular res...

Birth After Previous Caesarean Birth

Relation of Chemical Attachment to Physiological Action of Vasopressin.

We have suggested in preliminary publications" 2 that the antidiuretic action of vasopressin in the mammalian kidney may depend on a sulfhydryl-disulfide interchange involving SH groups on the receptor and the S-S bridge of the hormone. Strong support for this concept is presented in the preceding paper' where it is shown that the vasopressin-induced increase in the permeability of a simple liv...
