Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the leading cause of death from gastrointestinal disease in premature infants and develops partly from an exaggerated intestinal epithelial immune response to indigenous microbes. There has been interest in administering probiotic bacteria to reduce NEC severity

To determine whether penetrating scleral or corneal injury can enhance intraocular penetration of systemic moxifloxacin, vancomycin, and ceftazidime. Thirty rabbits were divided into 3 groups for each antibiotic and then further subdivided to receive either scleral or corneal injury to
To examine the effect of the orexinergic blockade with a dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA) on experimental models of peripheral and central trigeminal as well as cortical activation relevant to migraine and migraine aura. In this study we used a
Major changes in gene expression occur in the fetal brain to modulate the function of this organ postnatally. Thus, factors can alter the genomics of the fetal brain, predisposing to neurological disorders later in life. We hypothesized that the physiological
Understanding the neural mechanisms that support human consciousness is an important frontier in neuroscience and medicine. We previously developed a rodent model of temporal lobe seizures that recapitulates the human electroencephalography (EEG) signature of ictal and postictal neocortical slow waves
