Does adopting a prenatal substance use protocol reduce racial disparities in CPS reporting related to maternal drug use?
Adopting a protocol cannot be assumed to reduce CPS reporting disparities. Efforts to encourage hospitals to adopt protocols as a strategy to reduce disparities may be misguided. Other strategies to reduce disparities are needed.
CRT-induced LV reverse remodelling is associated with reduction in plasma AnxA5. The excess of AnxA5 is detrimental for HL-1 cardiomyocytes. Collectively, these data suggest that the beneficial effects of CRT might be related to an AnxA5 decrease.
