Does vesicoamniotic shunting using a double-basket catheter appear effective in treating fetal bladder outlet obstruction?
Vesicoamniotic shunt placement using a double-basket catheter may be effective in improving perinatal and neonatal outcomes through long-term decompression of the fetal urinary tract in carefully selected cases.
These results indicate that both reactive astrocytes and microglia contain elevated levels of cPLA2. Induction of cPLA2 was confined to areas of neurodegeneration and likely precedes its onset. The results suggest that reactive glia may play a role in the pathophysiology of delayed neuronal death after transient global forebrain ischemia.
