TL;DR: Antenatal corticosteroid therapy is indicated for women at risk of premature delivery with few exceptions and will result in a substantial decrease in neonatal morbidity and mortality, as well as substantial savings in health care costs.
Journal Article
Fetal nicotine or cocaine exposure: which one is worse?
TL;DR: Animal models of nicotine exposure are designed to prove that nicotine itself is a neuroteratogen, thus providing a causative link between tobacco exposure and adverse perinatal outcomes, and a rational basis for decisions about nicotine substitution therapy for smoking cessation in pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cholinergic systems in brain development and disruption by neurotoxicants: nicotine, environmental tobacco smoke, organophosphates.
TL;DR: New findings indicate that developmental neurotoxicity extends to late phases of brain maturation including adolescence, and novel in vitro and in vivo exposure models are being developed to uncover heretofore unsuspected mechanisms and targets for developmental neurotoxicants.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ``Stress'' of Being Born
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that newborns are less sensitive to pain and the stress of being born seems to be good for the baby, and that the transient tachypnoea often seen after elective C-section could be prevented by beta-adrenergic stimulation with terbutaline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain anomalies in children exposed prenatally to a common organophosphate pesticide.

TL;DR: Significant associations of prenatal exposure to a widely used environmental neurotoxicant, at standard use levels, with structural changes in the developing human brain are reported.
