AbstractInfants born to mothers who used cocaine during pregnancy are at increased risk for neonatal death and respiratory impairments. Confounding factors such as multiple substance abuse make it difficult to isolate the effects of cocaine. We used a murine model to test the hypothesis that prenatal cocaine exposure may impair ventilatory responses to

Prenatal diagnosis of severe thalassaemia is conventionally diagnosed by fetal DNA analysis but it can not be widely used due to its drawbacks of high cost and technical effort. This prospective study describes a new prenatal strategy in preventing severe thalassaemia by a more simple and inexpensive way. The strategy included: (1) genetic counselling;
