- A revolution in the monitoring of unborn babies
04-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
New technology, the size of a mobile phone, which could save the life of an unborn child, has been developed by scientists from The University of Nottingham. The device monitors the baby’s heart for signs of potential danger. It is small and easy to use so that mother's-to-be can keep a regular check on their baby's heart beat without having to go into hospital and be attached to a machine.

- What is the role of donor breast milk?
11-30-2006 · EurekAlert!
More evidence is needed to determine whether donor breast milk is beneficial for babies in intensive care, argues a senior doctor in this week's BMJ. Mother’s milk is recommended for all babies, but mothers of preterm babies and other babies in intensive care are often unable to provide enough milk for their baby’s needs. Donor breast milk and formula milk are options to make up the shortfall.

- Genetic mutations may contribute to preterm birth risk
01-31-2008 · EurekAlert!
Genetic mutations in an enzyme related to amino acid metabolism called MTHFR and coagulation protein Factor V appear to have significant association with blood clots and tissue injury to the placenta and developing baby, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh's department of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences report. "This indicates a possible genetic predisposition to a condition of real clinical consequence in terms of intrauterine growth restriction, preeclampsia and spontaneous preterm birth," the researchers said.

- Genetic variation helps to understand predisposition to schizophrenia
08-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have provided new insight into how a gene is related to schizophrenia. In a study to be published in the Aug. 17 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the scientists describe for the first time a genetic variation that causes a gene to be overexpressed in the human brain. These results may provide a new way to design better drugs to treat schizophrenia.
