Research builds on Emory’s research on influenza vaccines self-administered via Micron’s microarray technology. This trial represents first-ever CDC-sponsored clinical trial of vaccine delivered via “patch” technology and utilizes Micron’s first-in-class dissolvable microarray technology. 

Babies born to mothers potentially exposed to low levels of arsenic in public drinking water—even at levels below the federal safety standard—were more likely to be born preterm, with lower birthweight, or be smaller than expected, according to a study funded by the National Institutes of Health’s Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program.

A new study led by researchers at University of Iowa Health Care has revealed a significant association between high blood pressure during pregnancy (gestational hypertension) and an increased risk of seizures in children. The findings also suggest that inflammation in the brain may play a role in connecting gestational hypertension to seizure risk and could potentially be targeted to prevent seizures in children exposed to high blood pressure in the womb.
