"Neglected moms" - The implications of emotional neglect in childhood for the transition to motherhood.

Background: The transition to motherhood involves many challenges that require adjustment; included among them are adapting to body changes, forging a maternal identity, and attaching to the baby. Although these tasks may not be easy for any women, those who experienced emotional neglect during childhood may find them especially difficult.

Objective: The aim of the current study was to examine a model illuminating the mechanism underlying the association between childhood emotional neglect and women's adjustment during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Identification and characterization of roles for Puf1 and Puf2 proteins in the yeast response to high calcium.

Members of the yeast family of PUF proteins bind unique subsets of mRNA targets that encode proteins with common functions. They therefore became a paradigm for post-transcriptional gene control. To provide new insights into the roles of the seemingly redundant Puf1 and Puf2 members, we monitored the growth rates of their deletions under many different stress conditions.

Magnesium sulfate treatment alters fetal cerebellar gene expression responses to hypoxia.

Prenatal perturbation of brain circulation and oxygenation is a leading cause of perinatal brain damage affecting about 0.3-0.9% of births.

Amalgam alternatives--micro-leakage evaluation of clinical procedures. Part I: direct composite/composite inlay/ceramic inlay.

This study investigated the degree of dye penetration with three different types of tooth-coloured restorations. Twenty-four intact extracted molars were collected. The teeth were immediately stored in water at room temperature.
