OBJECTIVE We studied the relationship between maternal and cord plasma concentrations of carotenoids, retinol, and tocopherols in normal mother-baby pairs. METHODS Healthy pregnant women (n = 10) were recruited at a Montréal hospital. Venous blood samples were collected from the mothers at delivery and cord blood was obtained immediately post partum from the umbilical vein after clamping of t...

Key points Controversy exists about the physiological mechanism(s) underlying decreases in cardiac output after immediate clamping of umbilical cord at birth. To define these mechanisms, four major determinants ventricular (afterload, preload, heart rate and contractility) were measured concurrently fetal lambs 15 s intervals over a 2 min period before ventilation following delivery. After clam...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the short term clinical effects of delayed cord clamping in preterm neonates. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. SETTING A tertiary care neonatal unit from October 2013 to September 2014. PARTICIPANTS 78 mothers with preterm labor between 27 to 316/7 weeks gestation. INTERVENTION Early cord clamping (10 s), delayed cord clamping (60 s) or delayed cord clamping (60...

BACKGROUND Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process following damage in tissue structures. Due to extensive skin damage caused by burn injuries, this study determined the role of human adult peripheral and umbilical cord blood platelet-rich plasma on proliferation and migration in human skin fibroblasts. METHODS Platelet-rich plasma (5, 10, 15, 20 and 50% PRP) from human umbilica...

  Stem cells are naïve or master cells. This means they can transform into special 200 cell types as needed by body, and each of these cells has just one function. Stem cells are found in many parts of the human body, although some sources have richer concentrations than others. Some excellent sources of stem cells, such as bone marrow, peripheral blood, cord blood, other tissue stem cells and ...

objective: to compare the maternal and umbilical cord serum selenium concentrations in low and normal birth weight neonates. materials and methods: a case-control study was carried out in vali-asr and akbarabadi hospitals (jan. to dec. 2013). two groups; case group; 91 mothers who delivered a low birth weight (lbw) neonate and control group; 86 subjects who delivered a normal birth weight neona...
