Distance to healthy cardiovascular dynamics from fetal heart rate scale-dependent features in pregnant sheep model of human labor predicts cardiovascular decompensation [PDF]
Frontiers in Pediatrics 9 p710 (2021), 2021 The overarching goal of the present work is to contribute to the understanding of the relations between fetal heart rate (FHR) temporal dynamics and the well-being of the fetus, notably in terms of predicting cardiovascular decompensation (CVD).

Umbilical cord blood transplantation [PDF]
Korean Journal of Pediatrics, 2012 Since the first umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) in 1998, cord blood (CB) has now become one of the most commonly used sources of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation. CBT has advantages of easy procurement, no risk to donor, low risk of transmitting infections, immediate availability and immune tolerance allowing successful ...

Cord blood maternal microchimerism following unrelated cord blood transplantation
Bone Marrow Transplantation, 2020 Cord blood transplantation (CBT) is associated with low risk of leukemia relapse. Mechanisms underlying antileukemia benefit of CBT are not well understood, however a previous study strongly but indirectly implicated cells from the mother of the cord blood (CB) donor.
