Objective Dysbiosis of the infant gut microbiota may have long‐term health consequences.
This study aimed to determine the impact of maternal intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis ( IAP ) …

Background— Fine particulate air pollution and ozone are associated with increased
cardiovascular events. To help explain the mechanism behind these observations, we investigated …

Fine particulate matter air pollution plus ozone impairs vascular function and raises diastolic
blood pressure. We aimed to determine the mechanism and air pollutant responsible. The …

The relation between inhalation of ambient concentrations of ozone and airway reactivity to
inhaled allergens may be important in asthma, since both agents can produce inflammatory …

Exposure to air pollution has been shown to cause arterial vasoconstriction and alter autonomic
balance. Because these biologic responses may influence systemic hemodynamics, we …

Salicylic acid (SA) is required for resistance to many diseases in higher plants. SA-dependent
cell death and defense-related responses have been correlated with disease resistance. …

Background Short‐term exposures to fine (<2.5 μm aerodynamic diameter) ambient
particulate‐matter ( PM ) have been related with increased blood pressure ( BP ) in controlled‐…

FOUR CASES of a previously unrecognized dwarfing syndrome have been observed in one
family. Four additional cases are thought to have occurred in preceding generations. We …

Normal skull thickness has been measured in a general hospital population of 300 blacks
and 200 whites in America. In both groups, there is a rapid increase in skull thickness during …
