Abstract

There may be a relationship between undiagnosed, ongoing apnea occurring at discharge in infants of very low birth weight and sudden infant death syndrome. To describe patterns of apnea in former very low birth weight (< 1251 gm) infants thought to be ready for hospital discharge, and to determine the relationship between apnea at discharge and later adverse events-in particular, apparent life-threatening events (ALTEs) and sudden infant death syndrome. One hundred eighty-seven infants had 24-hour (four-channel) recordings scored for apnea (> 12 seconds in duration) frequency, type, and duration. Infants were followed by telephone interview at 2, 4, and 6 months after discharge from the hospital. Ninety-one percent of recordings displayed significant apnea, the majority of episodes of apnea were obstructive, and about half occurred during feedings. Infants had as many as 43 episodes in a 24-hour period, with a maximum duration of 62 seconds. There was no relationship between severity of pre-discharge episodes of apnea and ALTEs. No infants died during follow-up. Predischarge multichannel recordings may identify infants with apnea that is not otherwise clinically apparent but do not predict the risk of an ALTE.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
