Pulmonary hypertension is a rare lung disease in which the blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries are high. The pulmonary arteries are blood vessels that carry blood from your right side of the heart to the lungs to receive oxygen (Picture 1). Pulmonary hypertension develops when the pulmonary arteries become stiff and thick. This causes a tightening or narrowing of the pulmonary arteries. Over time scar tissue develops. These changes (narrowing) make blood flow difficult to pass through the pulmonary arteries resulting in PAH....

Clamping and cutting of the umbilical cord happens within 10 seconds after birth in most cases, in part so members of a medical team can more quickly begin caring for a newborn. But research from Nationwide Children’s Hospital shows that waiting 30 to 45 seconds to clamp could have advantages for extremely preterm infants. The study, published online today in the Journal of Perinatology, found that the preterm infants with delayed cord clamping had higher blood pressure readings in the first 24 hours of life and needed fewer red blood cell transfusions in their first 28 days than infants whose umbilical cords were immediately clamped....
