In recent years, doctors and obstetricians prefer to perform a caesarean section instead of trying a forceps or vacuum delivery, due to the fear of brain or physical damage, or the development of severe morbidity after birth. At the same time, studies in medical schools regarding such a birth are decreasing. A new study reveals that such fear is not necessarily justified

In its reasoning, the committee stated that: "The Israel Prize in the field of life sciences research for the year XNUMX is awarded to Prof. Eli Keshet, from the Hebrew University, for his pioneering contributions in understanding the mechanism by which oxygen-deficient conditions stimulate the growth of new blood vessels. These discoveries of his led to the recognition that excess oxygen given in the treatment of premature infants leads to their blindness and led to a change in the treatment of premature infants after their birth.
