Deuterium oxide, dimethylsulfoxide (Me2SO) and heat shock treatment were all significantly effective at baro-injury as measured by plating efficiency after decompression. The content of unfreezable cell water was observed to increase during heat treatment, and this increase was associated with increase in viability.

Article Synopsis
  • Global health organizations support breastfeeding, but maternal medication can complicate this due to safety concerns about drug transfer through breast milk.
  • A systematic review was conducted to gather and analyze data on human milk intake volume using deuterium oxide dilution, comparing results with existing literature and exploring maternal factors that may affect milk intake.
  • The review included 60 studies from 34 countries involving over 5,500 infants, revealing that maternal smoking reduced milk intake, while a logarithmic regression model was developed to better understand milk intake changes based on the infant's postnatal age, highlighting the need for more data on early infancy for improved pharmacokinetic modeling.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal factors influence infant growth and body composition at 18 months in a South African peri-urban setting.
  • Key findings indicate that higher umbilical artery resistance predict lower birth weights and shorter lengths, while maternal HIV status and household food insecurity are associated with poorer growth indicators.
  • The research highlights the significant impact of early nutrition and health on long-term developmental outcomes, stressing the importance of addressing these factors to improve child health and prevent stunting.

Divergent Molecular Responses to Heavy Water in Compared to Bacteria and Yeast.

Plants (Basel)

November 2024

Department of Molecular Biology and Radiobiology, Faculty of AgriSciences, Mendel University in Brno, 61300 Brno, Czech Republic.

Heavy water (DO) is scarce in nature, and despite its physical similarity to water, DO disrupts cellular function due to the isotope effect. While microbes can survive in nearly pure DO, eukaryotes such as are more sensitive and are unable to survive higher concentrations of DO. To explore the underlying molecular mechanisms for these differences, we conducted a comparative proteomic analysis of , , and after 180 min of growth in a DO-supplemented media.
