We tested the hypothesis that labor-induced epinephrine release would stimulate alveolar fluid clearance in preterm fetuses. Preterm fetuses were obtained by cesarean section from timed-pregnant guinea pigs at 61-69 days postconception. Fetal guinea pigs were euthanized and placed on continuous positive airway pressure oxygenation, and an isosmolar 5% albumin solution was instilled. Alveolar fl...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate platelet reactivity and coagulation markers after surgical palliation of univentricular hearts. DESIGN AND PATIENTS Cross sectional survey of 24 patients, median age 11 (range 4-22) years, at 2 (range 0.5-6) years after a total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC; n = 14) or a bidirectional Glenn anastomosis (Glenn; n = 10). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Platelet reactivity and/or ...

AIMS The aims were to (1) estimate the prevalence of alcohol and drug use disorders in prisoners on reception to prison and (2) estimate and test sources of between study heterogeneity. METHODS Studies reporting the 12-month prevalence of alcohol and drug use disorders in prisoners on reception to prison from 1 January 1966 to 11 August 2015 were identified from seven bibliographic indexes. P...
