Immediate postnatal growth is associated with blood pressure in young adulthood: the Barry Caerphilly Growth Study.

Oct 2008 There is a consistent inverse association between birth weight and systolic blood pressure; however, few studies have been able to examine the immediate postnatal period. We have examined whether accelerated postnatal... Read more...

Association between urinary lactate to creatinine ratio and neurodevelopmental outcome in term infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Sep 2008 OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between urinary lactate to creatinine ratio (ULCR) and neurodevelopmental outcome in term infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and examine the effect of hypothermia on the... Read more...

Infant growth and child cognition at 3 years of age.

Sep 2008 BACKGROUND: Infancy is a critical period for brain development. Few studies have examined the extent to which infant weight gain is associated with later neurodevelopmental outcomes in healthy populations. OBJECTIVE:... Read more...
