Dynamics of the human gut microbiota in very early life
… acquisition and development during the neonatal period (≤1 month) remains controversial. In this thesis, I generated and analysed the largest datasets of shotgun metagenomes, isolate genomes and metagenome-assembled genomes of the neonatal gut microbiota to date. In the largest birth …

An alternative treatment for type B Ulnar Polydactyly
… conventionally treated by suture ligation in the neonatal period or by formal excision, when the child is one year of age. For the last three years, the Congenital Hand Unit at Red Cross Children’s Hospital has used vascular clip ligation as an alternative method of treatment for rudimentary ulnar …

Hypoglycemia In Mitochondrial Disorders
… were recorded. Patients were classified as neonatal (≤28 days of life) or non-neonatal (>28 days of life) at the time of measurement. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, mixed-model regression, and two-sample tests of proportion. All data analysis was done using Stata® (v.13, …

Prospective Isolation And Characterization Of Mononucleated And Binucleated Cardiomyocytes
… to pro-proliferative stimuli following a neonatal maturation period. During this maturation period, cardiomyocytes exit the cell cycle, undergo structural and metabolic changes, and most become binucleated. We and others have observed that the small percentage of mature cardiomyocytes that …

Regulation of protein metabolism in skeletal muscle of low-birth-weight neonatal pigs
The neonatal period in mammals is characterized by high rates of growth, attributed to rapid myonuclear accretion and protein deposition in muscle. Low-birth-weight (LBWT) neonates experience restricted muscle development, which leads to impaired postnatal growth and metabolic disorders later in …

Bacterial meningitis in neonates and children South Africa
… the specific aetiology is age dependant. In the neonatal period the causative organisms are: Group B streptococci, Gram - negative bacilli (e.g.: E. coli, Klebsiella spp, Enterobacter spp, Salmonella spp) and Listeria monocytogenes. In infants and children up to the age of 5 the most common …

Neuroprotectant Properties of Neurosteroids During Neonatal Ethanol Exposure
<p>Neonatal ethanol exposure significantly affected development of medial prefrontal cortex pyramidal neurons by decreasing apical dendritic length and intersections. Neurosteroid treatment affected neuronal measurements in a sex-dependent manner, with neurosteroids having minimal to no effect on …

Early life origins of the insulin resistance syndrome in the aged guinea pig.
… growth restriction and accelerated growth in the neonatal period. It appeared that the guinea pig is a suitable animal model of ageing, displaying many of the metabolic, cardiovascular and anthropometric changes seen in humans. Furthermore, the effects of perturbed prenatal and early postnatal …

Significato prognostico dell'ecografia cerebrale nei neonati con infezione congenita da citomegalovirus
… children with abnormal US (1 patient died in the neonatal period) vs 3/45 newborns with normal US (OR for death or poor outcome: 154, CI 17.3-1219.6, p<0.001, positive predictive value 91.7%, negative predictive value 93.3%). Conclusion: A good correlation is shown between ultrasound abnormalities …

The Complexity of Non-profit Administration in Global Development: A Case-Study on Neonatal Mortality
… of those deaths occurring in the most vulnerable period of life: the neonatal period (first 28 days of life). Because this is such a pervasive problem, in order to meet the United Nation’s third Sustainable Development Goal of reducing the global neonatal mortality rate down from 27 to 12 deaths …

DNA analysis of Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency in South African patients
… not an infrequent presentation in the newborn or neonatal period. While the majority are transitory in nature and due to infective processes or liver pathology/immaturity, a significant number are due to defects in enzymes of the urea cycle. This cycle has evolved to cope with waste nitrogen …

Outcomes of preterm infants discharged early from a South African Kangaroo Mother Care Unit
… born annually and are the leading contributor to neonatal deaths. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), incorporating skin-to-skin care, breastfeeding, early discharge and close follow up, decreases morbidity and mortality in preterm and low-birth-weight infants. Few recent South African studies have looked …

Acute and Chronic Effects of Artificial Rearing on Rat Genioglossus Muscle
… nutritive suckling is critical during the early neonatal period. The genioglossus (GG) muscle in rat plays an important role in protruding the tongue for efficient suckling. The purpose of this study was to examine the contractile properties and myosin heavy chain (MHC) phenotype of the GG …

Prenatal exposure to maternal obesity and SFLT-1 overexpression and cardiovascular function in the adult offspring
… that poor nutrition in the fetal or early neonatal period increases susceptibility to the negative effects of an affluent diet during adulthood. Overall, there is little understanding of the exact mechanisms of the developmental origin of adult disease, but it is recognized that adult …
