Monosialylgangliosides from human meconium: characterization using specific anti-oligosaccharide antibodies
… from the lipid fraction of human meconium. Gangliosides of this fraction were detected after thin layer chromatography by immuno-staining with specific anti-oligosaccharide sera. The monosialylganglioside fraction of human meconium was subjected to ozonolysis and …

Dynamics of faecal bacterial populations in early infancy as determined by massively parallel sequencing
Background: Meconium microbiota have recently gained great interest; however very few studies have included meconium specimens when longitudinally characterizing the infant GIT microbiota. This study therefore aimed to longitudinally characterize meconium microbiota profiles during the first seven …

Sources of Variation in the Microbiome of Pre-Weaned Dairy Calves
… and Lentisphaerae. Overall, the calf meconium and fecal microbiome is influenced by a combination of the maternal vagina, oral, and fecal microbiomes. Further studies will be needed to identify the transference mechanisms of maternal microbes to offspring and the associated …

Pathophysiology and transmission of Thelohania solenopsae in the red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta
… present study revealed that the midgut and the meconium materials from pupating fourth instar larvae were possible vehicles for the horizontal transmission of the disease. The pathogen was further found to cause a reduction of humeral proteins. In SDS-PAGE stained with silver, several proteins …

Epidemiology of extended spectrum beta-lactamase and carbapenemase-producing bacteria in stool from apparently healthy children, South Africa
… and infants faecal samples (including the meconium) were collected at birth and at two additional time-points (5-12 and 20-28 weeks) from the infants only. Samples were screened for ESBLs and carbapenemase-producing organisms using ChromID ESBL and ChromID CARBA media, respectively. …

Detection of colorectal carcinoma-associated antigens using specific antibodies against human milk oligosaccharides
… in the monosialylganglioside fraction from human meconium and a total ganglioside fraction from SWlll6 cells on thin layer chromatograms by radioimmune staining using anti-sialyltetrasaccharide . b. Sialyltetrasaccharide b-ceramide was not detected in a total Iipid extract from normal intestinal …

Utilizing Biomarkers to Assess Prevalence and Trends of Substance Use During Pregnancy in Canada
… the analysis of fatty acid ethyl esters in meconium samples collected nationwide, and reveals that the prevalence ranges between 1.16 and 2.40%, the equivalent of at least 1,800 new cases of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in Canada each year. Overall, this research provides new insights …

RDH10 is Necessary for Initial Vagal Neural Crest Cell Contribution to Embryonic Gastrointestinal Tract Development
… leading to megacolon and/or the failure to pass meconium. Enteric neurons are derived from neural crest cells (NCC); hence HSCR is associated with incomplete NCC development or colonization of the GI tract. We investigated our hypothesis that RDH10 is necessary for proper NCC contribution to the …

Exploring early-life microbiome transfer and therapeutic applications in bovines and humans
… microbiota of their new-born infant (oral and meconium microbiota) were characterised. This allowed investigation of the contribution of numerous transmission routes and the impact of various perinatal factors on the initial establishment of the infant gut and oral microbiome. The results of …

Risk Factors associated with high prevalence of stillbirths in Capricorn District, Limpopo Province
… during labour, spontaneous rupture of membranes, Meconium Stained Liquor grade 3, presentations such as shoulder, brow and breech, complications such as cord prolapse, placenta abruption and congenital malformations have a major contribution in high prevalence of stillbirths in Capricorn district …

Characterisation of Guanylin and Uroguanylin in the Digestive System
… leading to familial syndromes of diarrhoea and meconium ileus, respectively. The function of guanylin and uroguanylin is not restricted to intestinal physiology, as several other studies demonstrated their role on water and salt homeostasis in the kidney as well as a potential hypothalamic …

The use of inhaled nitric oxide to treat persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn in a tertiary public hospital in South Africa from 2010-2014: morbidity, mortality and cost
… were included – most were full term (85%). Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) was the commonest cause of PPHN (50%), followed by intrapartum hypoxia (20%), sepsis (17.5%), pulmonary hypoplasia (7.5%) and idiopathic (5%). Fourteen neonates (35%) died. Pulmonary hypoplasia and pneumothorax …

Maternal and fetal outcomes of induction of labour using oral misoprostol at New Somerset Hospital
… of 6 to 10. A total of 38 babies (44.3%) had meconium stained liquor documented at delivery, three babies (3.4%) required neonatal resuscitation upon delivery. There were 10 (11.6%) babies that were admitted to NICU. Conclusion: In this study we found that the prevalence of induction of labour …

An audit of caesarean sections performed for suspected fetal distress at Mowbray Maternity Hospital in 2018
… disorders, prolonged rupture of membranes and meconium-stained liquor etc. When considering these obstetric factors as well as the CTG, the experts assessed 16 women (17.8%) to have had unnecessary caesarean sections. In terms of neonatal outcomes, the mean five-minute APGAR was 8, and only 3 …

A descriptive retrospective audit of the obstetric conditions which occur in mothers of babies with neonatal encephalopathy at Mowbray Maternity Hospital in 2016
… 6.3% suspicious, as assessed by the researcher. Meconium stained liquor occurred in 40.5% of patients. The mode of delivery was normal vertex, (27.1%), Caesarean sections (58.3%) and assisted vaginal delivery (14.6%). Most CS (71.4%) were done for pathological CTGs. Sentinel events occurred in 15 …
