These results suggest that when post-novelty exposure maternal care is delivered unreliably, more care may result in a reduction in the effect of neonatal novelty exposure on offspring HPA plasticity, whereas when maternal care is delivered reliably, less care can result in more positive effects of neonatal novelty exposure.
CVCs were assessed on a daily basis for ward exposure time, care parameters, and the occurrence of laboratory-confirmed CRBSI.
The automatic exposure control ("CARE Dose" package by Siemens) was used in all exams to acquire CT scans according to the lowest possible patient dose, based on the reference tube current-time product (reference mAs) defined by the user.
A study in geometric mean urine mercury concentration identified a previously unrecognized source of exposure (skin care products) to inorganic mercury among New York City residents.
Higher levels of post-novelty exposure maternal care appeared to be associated with smaller novelty exposure-induced enhancements in HPA plasticity.
To investigate the contribution of individual differences in post-novelty exposure maternal care to the observed social and neuroendocrine differences between Novel and Home rats, we measured both discriminative and non-discriminative maternal care during the first 10 postnatal days.
Other characteristics of cocolonization were a higher frequency at young age, but no association with recurrent acute otitis media, recent antibiotic exposure, day care usage and PCV7 vaccination status.
Factors were classified into three categories: hospital exposure, outpatient care and lifestyle-associated practices.
The questionnaire documented clinical symptoms and signs together with laboratory results and risk factors, such as potential occupational exposure, child care, institutional exposure, or illness in the immediate family.
We did not have information on infant sex, alcohol, tobacco or other drug exposure, prenatal care, maternal disease status, paternal demographic characteristics, or marital status.
