Postnatal depression: a relational perspective
Current research conceptualizes postnatal depression as individual pathology or as a socio-political problem. By adopting a relational perspective, this thesis bridges the theoretical divides between individualistic and social explanatory frameworks, and between psychology and sociology. The self …

Postnatal Maturation Modulates Cerebrovascular Myogenic Tone
<p>The present study focused on the main hypothesis that maturation decreases contractile reliance on calcium influx and myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity, and increases reliance on release of calcium from intracellular stores to develop and maintain pressure-evoked myogenic tone in rat cerebral blood …

Maternal postnatal health and infant development
The postnatal period is a critical time for long-term infant development. The current research sought to investigate the differential associations between PND, maternal-infant attachment and breastfeeding on long-term child developmental outcomes (i.e., cognitive, language, neuromotor and …

Pten Function in Postnatal Brain Development and Tumorigenesis
… activated when they reach the olfactory bulb. Postnatal deletion of Pten in the SVZ resulted in aberrant activation of the PI3K‑Akt‑mTorc1 pathway and enlarged SVZ and RMS. This was caused by premature termination of migration and differentiation of neuroblasts, and could be rescued by …

The postnatal development of the human cardiac ventricles
… to point out the difference between foetal and postnatal conditions of the heart and great vessels. Harvey, however, was not particularly concerned with the problems of the foetal circulation, and devoted only a passing glance to the subject, using foetal conditions to illustrate his general …

The role of myostatin during postnatal myogenesis and sarcopenia
… is a key negative regulator of embryonic and postnatal muscle growth. In order to further elucidate the role of myostatin during postnatal growth, several lines of investigation were undertaken in mice. Analysis of myostatin downstream target genes identified several known and unknown genes. …

Postnatal Testicular Development in 3 Inbred Strains of Mice.
… variations in both the absolute and relative postnatal testicular weights in 11 strains from 56 to 112 days of age. The relative weight (mg of testes/100g of body weight) increased for most strains. The DBA/2J strain increased by 123mg, the C57BL/6J by 84mg and the AKR/J strain by only 45mg. …

Molecular regulation of neuroblast migration in the postnatal brain
… is one of the main neurogenic niches in the postnatal<br/>brain. Neural precursors derived from SVZ stem cells migrate in chains to the<br/>olfactory bulb (OB) via the rostral migratory stream (RMS) through channels (glial<br/>tubes) formed by the processes of astrocytes. Importantly, these …

Risk Factors in the Development of Postnatal Anxiety Symptomatology
… only more recently has it been recognised that postnatal anxiety requires its own systematic research. As yet, only a limited number of studies have investigated interpersonal risk factors in relation to postnatal anxiety. This study aimed to further investigate the role of these factors by …

Listening to women after birth: their perceptions of postnatal support and the potential value of having a postnatal debriefing session with a midwife
This thesis examines women’s experiences of postnatal care in hospital and on postnatal debriefing. The objectives were to determine what postnatal debriefing is; to understand reasons why some women attend such services; identify the views of women and staff towards this and finally explore …

Peer Support for Mothers with Postnatal Depression A Pilot Study
Background Postnatal depression (PND) is a global problem and an important public health issue. It is estimated that approximately 15% of women experience depression during the first postnatal year but there are problems in recognition because its clinical assessment can be complex. The incidence …

The Role of Glutamate Transporters in Early Postnatal Hippocampal Neurogenesis
… of the hippocampal dentate gyrus however, early postnatal development of the dentate gyrus and changes in the neurogenic niche during this time have not been well-studied. Using a well-characterized transgenic mouse that labels early neural progenitor cells with green fluorescent protein (GFP), …
