Despite improvements in neonatal care, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) continues to occur in approximately one third of newborns who have birth weights of <1000 g and contributes to significant morbidity in this population. Gaps in knowledge about the prevention and treatment of BPD remain, resulting in unintended short- and long-term sequelae. In addition to chronic lung disease, preterm newb...

The relationship between borderline personality disorder (BPD) and the affective disorders is controversial, and we have previously compared BPD and major depression (MD) with endocrinological measures and sleep electroencephalography (S-EEG). We have also compared BPD, MD and recurrent brief depression (RBD) using endocrine tests. We have proposed that depressive symptoms in BPD might have a b...

OBJECTIVES To determine if chronic oxygen dependency (discharge home on supplemental oxygen) in children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD; defined as requirement for supplemental O2 at 36 weeks postmenstrual age) predicts neurodevelopmental disability rates and growth outcomes at 36 months corrected age (CA). STUDY DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study. SETTING Southern Alberta regional cent...

Our objective was to correlate vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) genetic polymorphisms with the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) development in premature newborns. Fifty-five newborns with BPD (BPD: median gestational age [GA]: 27 weeks, birthweight [BW]: 786 g) and 42 newborns without BPD (non-BPD: median GA: 29 weeks, BW: 1,165 g), who were born at <32 weeks gestational age an...

objective: management of borderline personality disorder (bpd) is a difficult challenge due to the complex features of this disorder. this article reviews the use of naltrexone in the treatment of bpd. methods: published articles and clinical trials were searched in google scholar, medline, elsevier, and cochrane database of systematic reviews abstracts in english language between 1990 and 2017...

UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)-mediated glucuronidation of benzo(a)pyrene-trans-7,8-dihydrodiol (BPD), precursor to the potent mutagen benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide, may be an important pathway in the detoxification of benzo(a)pyrene. To better characterize this pathway in humans, high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to detect glucuronide conjugates of BPD formed...

Objective: The main aim of this study was to examine the cognitive emotion regulation strategies among prisoners with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and compare those with the normal population, by achieving the patterns of the implemented strategies between the BPD prisoners. Methods: Ninety prisoners with BPD and 92 non-clinical individuals participated in this study. A Structured Cli...

[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 28(1) of Psychological Assessment (see record 2015-54029-001). The FFI-BPD values for Sample 3 in Table 2 should read 1.42 (0.44), 0.83.] The aim of the current study was to examine the reliability and validity of a trait-based assessment of borderline personality disorder (BPD) using the NEO Five-Factor Inventory. Correlations...

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to compare the retrieval of autobiographical memory and the problem solving of people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and normal people. Methods: The study population comprised all patients with BPD in Tehran. The study sample consisted of 15 patients with BPD, who referred to Hazrat-e-Rasool Hospital and 15 control group people, who were ...

The coordination properties of the ligand 2,2'-bipyrimidine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid (H2bpd) with lanthanide(III) ions (Ln = Eu, Tb, or Lu) were investigated. syntheses H2bpd and its salts, [K2(bpd)(H2O)2] (1) [(AlkNH)Lu(bpd)2] (Alk Et, Hex, en), are described. In presence LnCl3 salts Lu, Tb), formation [Ln(bpd)2]- [Ln(bpd)(H2O)x]+ species was assessed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), spec...
