gamma-Aminobutyric acid concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid of newborn infants.

Abstract:

:gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were measured in 20 neonates with various gestational and postnatal ages. These concentrations varied between 9 and 45 nmol/ml which is approximately 20-100 times the concentrations found in adults. CSF GABA concentrations tended to decrease with advancing gestational age. No apparent alterations were noted with increasing postnatal age (until 6 weeks of age). Asphyxia but not neonatal sepsis was accompanied by an increase in CSF GABA concentrations compared to respective controls.

  • Early human development: neonatal tumours: vascular tumours.

    abstract::Vascular tumours (haemangiomas and malformations) are common tumours of infancy and childhood. They represent a group of mostly benign conditions, which present early, can grow rapidly and be symptomatic or disfiguring. There are various management options, with different cosmetic and functional outcomes. Haemangiomas...
