Concentrations and Sources of Airborne Particles in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Premature infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) have underdeveloped immune systems, making them susceptible to adverse health consequences from air pollutant exposure. Little is known about the sources of indoor airborne particles that contribut ...

A Subpopulation of Smooth Muscle Cells, Derived from Melanocyte-Competent Precursors, Prevents Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Friedrich Beermann

Background: Patent ductus arteriosus is a life-threatening condition frequent in premature newborns but also present in some term infants. Current mouse models of this malformation generally lead to perinatal death, not reproducing the full phenotypic spec ...

Measurement of autophagy flux in the nervous system in vivo

Bernard Schneider

Accurate methods to measure autophagic activity in vivo in neurons are not available, and most of the studies are based on correlative and static measurements of autophagy markers, leading to conflicting interpretations. Autophagy is an essential homeostat ...

Evaluation and extension of an automated system to diagnose the health of premature babies

Camille Joggi

Premature babies are not fully equipped to deal with the outside world. Their immature bodies make them highly at risk to a large number of physiological complications. Therefore, while they are still immature, premature babies are taken care of in neonato ...

Ultra-low pressure sensor for neonatal resuscitator

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Nicolas Craquelin, Enrico Haemmerle

In this work, we study in detail the sensing characteristics of piezoresistive force sensors based on structured LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) cantilevers carrying a thick-film piezoresistive bridge. These devices show much improved sensitivity c ...

Ultra-low pressure sensor for neonatal resuscitator

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Nicolas Craquelin, Enrico Haemmerle

A Venturi-type flow sensor has been designed and fabricated for neonatal respiratory assistance to control airway pressure and tidal volume. As the low flow range and sensing principle require the measurement of correspondingly very low pressures, a very r ...
