ERRγ1 and Aromatase Expression in Human Placental Tissues from Term Deliveries of Large for Gestational Age (LGA) Newborns.

Introduction: Being born either large (LGA) or small for gestational age (SGA) has been associated with an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome in adulthood. However, the mechanism underlying this early programming remained unclear. Estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ) is an orphan nuclear receptor with a high expression in human placenta, particularly ERRγ1.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: postnatal predictors of mortality.

Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) prevalence is low while its associated morbidity and mortality rates are high. Postnatal prognostic factors on the first day of life are useful for predicting the outcome.

Objectives: To determine the mortality predictive ability of postnatal echocardiographic, clinical, and biochemical factors among newborn infants with CDH in their first day of life.
