The adrenal medulla of control and hypothyroid young rats was stimulated through insulin hypoglycaemia. In the control animals, the intensity of the depletion of the adrenal epinephrine, which occurs in response to hypoglycaemia, increases up to 10 days of age. Neonatal hypothyroidism results in a retarded evolution. Following epinephrine depletion, the activities of adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) are transitorily increased in the 14 day-old controls; these increases are the consequence of transsynaptic inductions. Hypothyroidism decreases TH induction and completely suppresses that of DBH.

Parent Reports of Developmental Service Utilization After Newborn Screening.

Int J Neonatal Screen

December 2024

RTI International, 3040 E. Cornwallis Road, Research Triangle Park, P.O. Box 12194, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, USA.

Newborn screening (NBS) presents an opportunity to identify a subset of babies at birth who are at risk for developmental delays and could benefit from a range of developmental services. Potential developmental services in the United States include Part C Early Intervention (EI), private therapies, and school-based services. Using parent-reported outcomes, this study examined the rates at which a sample of children diagnosed with NBS conditions used each developmental service.

Objectives: Research on neurobehavioral abnormalities in neonates of mothers with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is limited. The link between umbilical cord blood brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and neurobehavioral outcomes in neonates has not been explored. This study investigates the correlation between alterations in umbilical cord blood BDNF levels and early neurobehavioral abnormalities in neonates born to pregnant women with SCH.
