Angiotensin II induces vascular inflammation, senescence, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and endothelial dysfunction, thus impairing SK+/IK+ channel function and reducing endothelial‐dependent hyperpolarisation (EDH). Metformin activates AMPK, increasing SK+/IK+ channel function and restoring vasorelaxation.

ABSTRACT Context Placental calcium (Ca2+) transport is essential for foetal bone mineralisation and development, as well as for Ca2+ homoeostasis. Rare mutations in transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) 6 of the infant cause insufficient maternal‐foetal Ca2+ transport through the placenta.

MRI, Child Opportunity Index, and 4‐year cognitive outcome after neonatal encephalopathy
Abstract Aim To evaluate the association of neonatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Child Opportunity Index (COI) with 4‐year cognitive outcomes after neonatal encephalopathy. Method This was a cross‐sectional analysis of 4‐year outcomes (interquartile range [IQR] = 48–52 months) in a single‐center prospective cohort of term neonatal ...

Neuroimaging and neurophysiology in infantile‐onset epilepsy after neonatal stroke
This population‐based retrospective cohort study of 55 newborn infants demonstrated that neonatal MRI and neonatal neurophysiology (amplitude‐integrated EEG, conventional EEG, and somatosensory evoked potentials) combined with follow‐up EEGs during the first year of life provide practical tools for identifying infants at the highest risk of developing ...
