Is limitation of myocardial infarct size in the rabbit by ischaemic preconditioning abolished by sodium 5-hydroxydecanoate?
These results support the hypothesis that the cardioprotection afforded by ischaemic preconditioning in the pentabarbitone anaesthetised rabbit is dependent on the opening of KATP channels.
Neonatal outcomes for Aboriginal infants were better than expected from national and State reports. Outcomes for Torres Strait Islander infants were worse than expected. Ethnicity was not a risk factor for neonatal death. These findings suggest that outcomes may be further improved by programmes to increase access for Indigenous women to antenatal care services.
