The Importance of Risk Stratification and Management of Newborn Babies of Women with a History of Graves' disease

Published on 23 March, 2016 | Authors: Sze May Ng* and Mark A Turner | Pages: 001-004

Thyroid hormones are important for early brain development. During pregnancy, both maternal and foetal thyroid hormones contribute to foetal brain development. Maternal Graves' can lead to transplacental transfer of antibodies that cause neonatal thyrotoxicosis. Neonatal thyrotoxicosis is rare and a high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose it. Neonatal thyrotoxicosis has significant risk of morbidity and mortality and early recognition is warranted.

Clinical Aspects of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide on the Cardiovascular System

Published on 13 October, 2015 | Authors: Silvana M Cantu, Adriana S Donoso, Nicolas M Kouyoumdzian, Natalia L Rukavina Mikusic, Ana M Puyo and Marcelo R Choi | Pages: 031-036

C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is one of the three most important members of the human natriuretic peptide family, sharing with them a highly conserved 17-aminoacid ring structure, essential to elicit its biological actions by binding to its specific receptor NPR-B. CNP acts in a paracrine or autocrine way and it is cleared from plasma circulation by the NPR-C receptor. This is one of the reasons why its plasma levels are usually low.
