Does eGF improve recovery following relief of unilateral ureteral obstruction in the neonatal rat?
Short-term administration of EGF markedly attenuates both tubular and interstitial injury one month following the release of UUO in the neonatal rat. This suggests therapeutic potential for targeted delivery of growth factors to optimize recovery after release of urinary tract obstruction.
Untreated moderate hyperbilirubinemia is associated with a transient and apparently reversible alteration of neonatal behavior, particularly in the social-interactive area.
