Caffeine abuse during pregnancy may be a factor in the development of long-term breathing abnormalities. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to monitor adult breathing patterns after in utero exposure to caffeine. This was done by isolating episodes of apnea of more than 6-s duration from the breathing data as obtained by the Cotwatch...

Polio viruses for the production of polio vaccines have been cultured on monkey kidney tissue and cell lines. These are naturally infected by monkey (simian) viruses and other microorganisms and agents (protozoans, amoebas). They cause, and/or are a co-factor, in a great variety of cancers and other diseases. The methods used to "clean-up" the anim...

... In 1991, Scheibner and Karlsson [49,50] presented evidence at the 2nd National Immunisation Conference in Canberra, Australia on an association between DPT injections and cot death (SIDS). Karlsson, a biomedical engineer, developed a sophisticated microprocessor, Cotwatch, that was placed under infants' mattresses to precisely measure their breathing patterns before and after vaccination. ...
... The caffeine-exposed pups grew more slowly resulting in smaller adults. 26 In rats, it has been shown that a single very high dose of caffeine (120 mg/kg) reduces blood flow to the uterus and deciduas. 27 In mice, adenosine A 2 A receptor gene expression in uterus has been shown to be downregulated by maternal caffeine exposure. ...
