Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the safety and effectiveness of starting newborn resuscitation with an intact umbilical cord, amid growing evidence for delayed cord clamping benefits.
  • A systematic review identified 12 relevant studies, showing no significant differences in key health outcomes between resuscitation methods, but a slight improvement in oxygen levels in the intact cord group.
  • The conclusion suggests intact cord management is a safe option, though its impact on complications from premature birth requires more high-quality research with larger sample sizes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the relationship between actual and planned delivery methods, neonatal death rates, and short-term outcomes for preterm babies born at or before 32 weeks of gestation.
  • A comprehensive literature search yielded 19 studies involving over 16,000 preterm infants, focusing on outcomes like neonatal mortality and intraventricular hemorrhage, while excluding pregnancies with complications like preeclampsia.
  • Results indicated that actual cesarean deliveries lead to better survival rates and lower risks of intraventricular hemorrhage for preterm infants, while planned cesarean deliveries showed no significant survival benefit compared to vaginal births.

ATP7B is a copper-transporting P-type ATPase (Cu-ATPase) with an essential role in human physiology. Mutations in ATP7B cause the potentially fatal Wilson disease, and changes in ATP7B expression are observed in several cancers. Despite its physiologic importance, the biochemical information about ATP7B remains limited because of a complex multidomain organization of the protein.
