Hyperglycemia was maintained in normal mothers before delivery both at term and early gestation to study the fetal pancreatic response glucose. Normal controls gestationally diabetic were infused with saline. At human pancreas responded elevated blood glucose levels by increasing plasma insulin, there a direct correlation between insulin concentrations (r equal 0.75, p less than 0.001). In an attenuated response. Infants of had increased umbilical — 23.3 ± 6.9 μU per milliliter (mean S.E.M.)...
Hemoglobin AIc, a normal minor hemoglobin, has glucose linked by Schiff base to the N-terminal end of beta chain. The interferes with binding 2,3 diphosphoglycerate, probably resulting in an increased affinity that hemoglobin for oxygen. Hb AIc is twice levels juvenile-onset (insulin-dependent) diabetes. In present studies, when expressed as per cent total was found be elevated slightly pregnany ( = 6.97 cent), pregnant nondiabetic obese 6.89 and gestationally diabetic subjects 8.77 cent)...
Smoking behavior is strongly influenced by the social environment. More information needed about how composition of households with children associated adult smoking so that more effective interventions to reduce children's secondhand smoke exposure can be devised and implemented.Using data from Medical Expenditure Panel Survey 2000-2004, we conducted cross-sectional analyses assess household characteristics, including number adults smokers present, relationship child head household,...
Managing wildlife populations in the face of global change requires regular data on abundance and distribution wild animals, but acquiring these over appropriate spatial scales a sustainable way has proven challenging. Here we present from Snapshot USA 2020, second annual national mammal survey USA. This project involved 152 scientists setting camera traps standardized protocol at 1485 locations across 103 arrays 43 states for total 52,710 trap-nights effort. Most (58) were also sampled...
To assess the sensitivity of historical risk factors for identification hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive parturients, 4399 pregnant women were consecutively screened HBsAg. Information regarding infection was obtained from each HBsAg-positive parturient. Twenty-three subjects identified (5.2/1000 deliveries). The HBsAg carrier rate (18/2231, or 8.1/1000 deliveries) significantly higher in black, Asian, Hispanic origin than remaining ethnic groups (non-Hispanic whites plus all...
Abstract Most studies on how rising temperatures will impact terrestrial ectotherms have focused single populations or multiple sympatric species. Addressing the thermal and energetic implications of climatic variation allopatric a species help us better understand may be impacted by altered climates. We used eight years behavioral data collected from four Pacific rattlesnakes ( Crotalus oreganus ) living in climatically distinct habitat types (inland coastal) to determine field‐active...
Propoxyphene (Darvon®) and acetaminophen (Tylenol®) are widely prescribed analgesic agents. Both can cross the placenta, propoxyphene produce serious withdrawal symptoms in newborns. Neither nor acetam inophen is considered a teratogen, yet, three malformed infants who were an tenatally exposed to have previously been reported. We report fourth case of infant, with cranial-facial digital malformations, born woman used throughout her pregnancy. suggest possibility that antepartum use...
The effect of maternal diabetes during pregnancy on insulin release the newborn infant was examined employing arginine infusion as stimulus. At age two hours, eight normal infants, six gestationally diabetic mothers (IGDM) and four insulin-dependent (IDM) were infused with hyd-rochloride 0.5 gm. per kilogram body weight for thirty minutes. Eight additional infants isotonic saline. A small but definite rise in plasma IRI observed newborns receiving arginine; however, responded an enhanced...
Maternal and fetal insulin response to arginine was examined by infusion of pregnant women during delivery their fetuses or newborn infants directly. Nonpregnant adult subjects were studied as controls. A positive correlation between plasma immunoreactive concentration found in the control subjects. The at 13 18 weeks' gestation had an attenuated arginine, whereas responses labor term more variable. utero no significant rise maternal infused arginine. infant, however, though intravenous infusion.
At term, human growth hormone (HGH) does not cross the placenta: therefore, source of HGH in fetal plasma is pituitary. In order to determine whether pituitary also only secretion early gestation, maternofetal transfer HGH-I125 was evaluated four pregnant women receiving legal therapeutic abortions by abdominal hysterotomy. The concentration maintained until delivery a continuous infusion labeled at 20 µc/hr for 170 225 minutes; and determined specific immunoprecipitation. Even with maternal...
Florida is renowned for its non-native reptile communities, with 2 such pervasive nonnative species including the apex predator Python bivittatus (Burmese Python) and herbivorous Iguana iguana (Green Iguana) that showcase spectrum of their ecological impacts. Both have recently expanded into Keys. We used a camera trap to survey radio-tagged Burmese documented both reptiles cohabitating in active, natural stick-nest an endangered rodent, Neotoma floridana smalli (Key Largo Woodrat), Dagny...
Abstract. Beta 2 microglobulin [B m] and creatinine [Cr] concentrations were measure in the urine of 27 newborn infants. At birth, urinary m]/[Cr] ratios significantly lower infants born beyond 36 weeks' gestation. Serial measurements, postnatally, showed a progressive decrease ratio prematurely. These findings suggest an increase tubular uptake B m with increasing gestational postnatal age. The current tend to support hypothesis that observed amniotic fluid beginning at approximately...
Abstract The Burmese python ( Python bivittatus ) is an invasive predator responsible for broad mammal declines in South Florida, United States. Despite their large size, pythons remain cryptic and require multifaceted approaches detection. We evaluated a novel technique by deploying camera traps at known locations of radiotagged the Florida Keys. estimated daily detection probabilities snakes plotted diel activity patterns. Our results suggest can effectively survey but seasonality trigger...
Abstract Background Miami-Dade County (MDC) has the highest rate of new HIV diagnoses in United States (US), with incidence among Black and Latino men who have sex (MSM). Immigrants may be especially vulnerable to acquisition lack or avoid accessible sexual health services. The University Miami Mobile PrEP (MP) Clinic provides services including STI testing as well initiation follow-up four highly impacted areas MDC. majority MP clients are immigrant MSM. We evaluated healthcare access,...
