Maternal hypothermia from environmental exposure in the third trimester
A primigravida at 32 weeks gestation developed hypothermia after prolonged exposure to the elements at -30.0°C. Her core temperature dropped to 29.8°C with associated foetal bradycardia.

Neuroprotective Properties of Xenon. [PDF]
Xenon is a rare noble gas that was introduced into clinical practice more than 70 years ago. Xenon's clinical properties are predicated by its ability to fit into preformed cavities of macromolecules thereby altering their biological functions.

Labour analgesia and fetal bradycardia [PDF]
Labour analgesia induction can result in fetal heart rate changes and even severe fetal bradycardia. This is most likely due to uterine hypertonus secondary to an acute drop in circulating epinephrine. If the uterus is quickly relaxed and fetus properly resuscitated, this should not affect the outcome of the delivery or neonatal health.

When intra-partum electronic fetal monitoring becomes court business [PDF]
Sadly but inevitably, the clinical fruit of all scientific research, like the profile of the Roman god Janus, presents us with two faces - one is patient benefit while the other is medico-legal vulnerability.

SHP-2 deletion in postmigratory neural crest cells results in impaired cardiac sympathetic innervation [PDF]
Autonomic innervation is an essential component of cardiovascular regulation that is first established from the neural crest (NC) lineage in utero and continues developing postnatally.

The Effects of Intravenous Hydration on Amniotic Fluid Volume and Pregnancy Outcomes in Women with Term Pregnancy and Oligohydramnios: A Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]
Introduction: Amniotic fluid is an important factor in the prediction of fetal survival. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of intravenous hydration of mothers on amniotic fluid volume and in turn on pregnancy outcomes.

Diagnosis and Management of Fetal Arrhythmias in the Current Era
Diagnosis and management of fetal arrhythmias have changed over the past 40–50 years since propranolol was first used to treat fetal tachycardia in 1975 and when first attempts were made at in utero pacing for complete heart block in 1986.

ADENYLYL CYCLASE TYPE 9: REGULATION AND CARDIAC FUNCTION [PDF]
Abnormalities in cardiac stress signaling underlie a number of cardiovascular diseases (e.g. arrhythmias and heart failure). Cardiac stress signaling pathways normally integrate signals from the sympathetic nervous system to promote efficient contraction
