When a baby is born and the umbilical cord is cut, it takes its first breath.
Instead of oxygen being delivered through the placenta in the womb, a fetal artery called the Ductus Arteriosus (DA) constricts, allowing blood to flow to the lungs to receive oxygen.
However, in premature babies, sometimes this vessel fails to constrict, resulting in a congenital heart disease called persistent DA (PDA). In premature infants, the lung카지노 게임 컬렉션s blood vessels may also fail to relax in response to oxygen, creating an often-fatal condition called persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).
With the help of the WJ Henderson Foundation, Dr. Stephen Archer, Meds카지노 게임 컬렉션81, head of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Department of Medicine, is working to find new ways to help babies with PDA or PPHN breathe properly during these early stages of life.
This critical research is funded in part by the WJ Henderson Foundation, a major philanthropic supporter of the Translational Institute of Medicine (TIME) and the (QCPU). The Foundation카지노 게임 컬렉션s financial support allows QCPU, a translational research platform, to help advance the research of 66 research teams across 20 departments and three facilities at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.
That includes the work of Dr. Archer카지노 게임 컬렉션s lab, which is developing and testing novel therapies to treat PDA and PPHN. Translational medicine (TMED) graduate student researchers in the Archer Lab (Austin Read and Rachel Bentley) have also captured unique glimpses of the DA as it closes in newborn rabbits, using with QCPU's MiLAB Vector CT scanner with the expert collaboration of Dr. Elahe Alizadeh.
카지노 게임 컬렉션The benefits of the Henderson Foundation have been huge,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Archer. 카지노 게임 컬렉션When a donor steps forward, it is third-party validation of the importance of your mission, and it tells Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 카지노 게임 컬렉션Hey, you have something special going on here.카지노 게임 컬렉션카지노 게임 컬렉션
In honour of National Philanthropy Week, which runs Nov. 14-18, it is important to recognize and say thank you to organizations and donors such as the Henderson Foundation, which has provided millions in support to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. Funds from donors are important to researchers whose findings can dramatically improve the lives of people around the world.
카지노 게임 컬렉션The money is critical. The costs of this project and the people who do the science exceeds our funding from CIH. Without philanthropy we would be in trouble! Biomedical science is so expensive. If you want to understand human diseases, there is a high cost; not tens of thousands of dollars, but millions of dollars,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Archer. 카지노 게임 컬렉션At every step of the way, the Henderson Foundation pitched in with money and encouragement. (Henderson Foundation trustee) David Pattenden always says he invests in people, not in things. I think the people of TIME and QCPU will prove to be a wise investment.카지노 게임 컬렉션
