A study of some aspects of the toxaemias of late pregnancy in the City of Cape Town
… is a study of the incidence of the Toxaemias of late pregnancy within the municipal boundaries of the city of Cape Town and the Langa Native Township, and their racial grouping. A separate introduction on page 38 as well as the problems investigated on page 48 and the standards employed on page …

Metabolic signalling and neuroendocrine stress responses in pregnancy
… (HPA) axis is hyporesponsive during late pregnancy to emotional, physical and metabolic signals. This is due to reduced responsiveness of the parvocellular paraventricular nucleus (pPVN) corticotrophin releasing hormone (CR11) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) neurones. Major adjustments …

Paediatric asthma and wheeze: early life origins
… poor fetal growth is associated with poor later respiratory health, including the important childhood disorders asthma and wheeze. Factors creating a suboptimal early environment may persistently alter the structure and function of the immune and respiratory systems.<br/>This thesis …

NADPH-d staining in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei increases in late pregnant and lactating rats and is influenced by ovarian steroids and central oxytocin levels
… (SON) and paraventricular (PVN) nuclei in late pregnancy. This work was extended to investigate whether increases in staining were evident at other times during pregnancy and lactation. The number of cells in the SON and PVN that stained for NADPH-d in rats on Day 4, 12, 16, and 22 of …

Investigating the relationship between sleep and postpartum depression: a longitudinal study examining the relationships between subjective and objective sleep during the perinatal period and postpartum depression.
… changes occur in the transition between late pregnancy and the early postpartum period. Furthermore, increased amounts of sleep and reports of difficulty falling asleep during late pregnancy predicted the development of postpartum depressive symptoms. This suggests that certain aspects of …

Influence of Blocking the Actions of Relaxin, Estrogen and Progesterone on the Rates of Proliferation and Apoptosis of Cervical Cells During Rat Pregnancy
… cervical cell content during the second half of pregnancy by promoting proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis of cervical cells. The extent to which relaxin affects these cellular processes is greatest during late pregnancy.

What to Expect when Mice Are Expecting: Pregnancy-Driven Changes in the Reproductive Tract
Pregnancy and childbirth, while natural processes, still present significant complications that affect the mother and baby in the short and long term such as pre-term birth, vaginal tearing, and pelvic organ prolapse. The female reproductive tract undergoes dramatic changes during pregnancy and …

Renal Epithelial Sodium Channel (ENaC) Regulation of Pregnancy Mediated Hemodynamic Adaptations: Mechanistic Insights
<p>Pregnancy-mediated sodium (Na) retention is required to provide an increase in plasma volume for the growing fetus. The mechanisms responsible for this Na retention are not clear. In the first study, we generated a renal tubule protein profile indicating α ENaC as the only sodium transport …

The physiological role of relaxin in the pregnant gilt: The effects of relaxin on the physical and biochemical properties of the cervix and on mammary development in ovariectomized hormone-treated pregnant gilts
… demonstrated that in pigs ovariectomized in late pregnancy a prolonged delivery and a low incidence of live births occurred in the absence of relaxin replacement. Eldridge-White and coworkers demonstrated that in intact pregnant pigs beginning about day 80 of pregnancy and continuing until …

The nature, extent, and range of evidence of the premature constriction or closure of the ductus arteriosus in utero unrelated to known non-steroidal-anti-inflammatory drug exposure: a scoping review
Background: During pregnancy, the ductus arteriosus allows blood to bypass the fetal lungs. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use in late pregnancy can cause premature constriction or closure of the ductus arteriosus (PCDA), though cases also occur without NSAID exposure. Understanding …
