Atrial and ventricular fetal heart rate patterns in isolated congenital complete heart block detected by magnetocardiography

Article Abstract:

Magnetocardiography may be useful in monitoring fetuses with heart block. A 31-year-old pregnant woman had an ultrasound scan at 20 weeks because her baby's heart rate was slow. The infant's heart was monitored using magnetocardiography at 25, 29, 32, 35, and 37 weeks and she delivered at 38 weeks. At 25 weeks, only the signal from the infant's ventricle was detected but both atrial and ventricular signals could be detected at 29 weeks. The infant was healthy at delivery.

Long-term neuroprotective effects of carbon dioxide on neonatal rat hypoxic-ischemic brain injury: An experimental study of skilled motor tasks

Article Abstract:

The long-term effect of hypercapnia on neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury is investigated and its effects in a neonatal rat hypoxia -ischemia model are tested. The results suggest that mild hypercapnia during hypoxia-ischemia may provide long-lasting motor functional as well as neurologic protection for immature brains, possibly by increasing cerebral blood flow during hypoxia.
