[Prostaglandin therapy in newborn infants with a Botalli duct-dependent circulation]
Abstract:
21 patients are described with either the pulmonary or the systemic circulation dependent on the patency of the ductus arteriosus. Treatment with Prostaglandin type E (PGE) was instituted to improve tissue oxygenation. Special PGE 2. It is concluded that PGE can be life-saving in critically ill newborns but that complications, especially episodes of apnoea, are frequent. Little is known about the possible sequelae of long-term oral PGE 2-treatment.

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Prostacyclin Receptor Agonists
These agonists bind to the IPR receptor situated on the plasma membrane of the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. This binding triggers a cascade of reactions known as the GS-AC-cAMP-PKA pathway. This pathway results in the relaxation of smooth muscle...
