A newborn who receives a placental transfusion at birth, either from cord milking or delayed cord clamping, obtains about 30% more blood volume than the newborn whose cord is cut immediately. Receiving an adequate blood volume from placental transfusion at birth may be protective for the distressed neonate as it prevents hypovolemia and can support optimal perfusion to all organs. New research ...

Understanding long-distance dispersal patterns for wide-ranging species is critical to developing effective conservation strategies (Lockwood et al. 2002, Shanks et al. 2003, Gerber et al. 2005, Figueira and Crowder 2006). California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) in the Gulf of California (GoC) are thought to include distinct populations based on limited dispersal and resulting genetic pop...

Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) has recently proved useful for detecting whole-brain oxygenation changes in preterm and term newborns' brains. The data recording phase in prior explorations was limited up to a maximum of a couple of hours, a time dictated by the need to minimize skin damage caused by the protracted contact with optode holders and interference with concomitant clinical/nursing ...
