Galant's reflex
Hold the baby horizontally and prone in one of your hands. Stimulate one side of the baby ’s back approximately 1 cm from the midline along a paravertebral line extending from shoulder to the buttocks. This produces a curving of the trunk toward the stimulated side, with shoulders and pelvis moving in that direction. Pelvic response to stimulation of the back and flanks should be symme trical. This reflex is absent in transverse spinal cord lesions or injuries. (Source: Medri Vodcast: Neonatology)

Introduction: Primitive reflexes
The findings during the neurological examination in infancy, especially in the newborn period, differ markedly from those present in children and adults. There are number of specific reflex activities so called infantile automatisms, found in the normal newborn that disappear in early infancy. Reflexes are an involuntary muscle reactions to a certain type of stimulation and their absence in the neonate, or the persistence of some beyond their expected time of disappearance may indicate severe central nervous system dysfunctions.

Meet Ken Aldrich the co-founder of International Stem Cell Corporation
Welcome to this podcast. I am Ken Aldrich, Chairman and co-founder of International Stem Cell Corporation. International Stem Cell Corporation recently announced that our scientific team, led by our Chief Scientist, Dr. Elena Revazova, has created a new class of human stem cell lines that do not involve the use of fertilized eggs and may enable hundreds of millions of people of different sex, ages and racial groups to benefit from cell based therapy with cells that will not be rejected by the patients own immune system after transplanting. The article was published in the on line edition of the well known peer-review publi...

JAMA: 2007-07-18, Vol. 298, No. 3, Author in the Room Audio Interview
Interview with Roy C. Ziegelstein, MD, author of Acute Emotional Stress and Cardiac Arrhythmias. Summary Points: 1. Episodes of emotional stress, especially when sudden, severe, and unexpected, may have significant adverse effects on the heart. 2. Acute emotional stress can increase sympathetic stimulation of the heart and can alter brain activity in a way that makes the heart more susceptible to rhythm disturbances. 3. Since episodes of emotional stress are almost inevitable in life, part of a healthy lifestyle is learning how to deal effectively with stress. (Source: JAMA Author in the Room)
