Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed childbearing and its impact on population rate changes in lower birth weight, multiple birth, and preterm delivery.
Suzanne Tough,Christine V. Newburn-Cook,David W. Johnston,Lawrence W. Svenson,Sarah Rose,Jaques Belik +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the recent increase in LBW and preterm delivery is partly related to the population phenomenon of delayed childbearing, suggesting that the age effect is through pregnancy complications that lead to pre term delivery and LBW.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early changes in lung gene expression due to high tidal volume
TL;DR: The current data suggest a global hypothesis that the effects of HV are cumulative and specific patterns of gene activation and suppression precede lung injury; and alteration of gene expression after mechanical stretch is pathogenic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of xanthine oxidase-derived superoxide to chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in neonatal rats
TL;DR: It is suggested that XO-derived superoxide induces endothelial dysfunction, thus impairing pulmonary arterial relaxation, and contributes to vascular remodeling in hypoxia-exposed neonatal rats, and targeting XO may represent a superior "antioxidant" strategy to ROS scavengers for neonates with pulmonary hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
High tidal volume ventilation causes different inflammatory responses in newborn versus adult lung.
Ian B. Copland,Francisco Martínez,Brian P. Kavanagh,Doreen Engelberts,Colin McKerlie,Jaques Belik,M. Post +6 more
TL;DR: Recommendations for VT limitation based on adult data may be inappropriate for newborns, as adult rats are more susceptible to high VT-induced lung injury compared with newborns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal exposure to fluoxetine induces fetal pulmonary hypertension in the rat.
TL;DR: In contrast to the adult, fluoxetine exposure in utero induces pulmonary hypertension in the fetal rat as a result of a developmentally regulated increase in pulmonary vascular smooth muscle proliferation.
