Moderate hypothermia to treat perinatal asphyxial encephalopathy.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Whether hypothermic therapy improves neurodevelopmental outcomes in newborn infants with asphyxial encephalopathy is uncertain. METHODS: We performed a randomized trial of infants who were less than 6 hours of age and had a gestational ... Read more...

Perinatal asphyxia in preterm neonates leads to serum changes in protein S-100 and neuron specific enolase.

29 Apr 2009 In preterm infants, neurological signs and clinical manifestations of brain damage are limited criteria for diagnosis of neurologic sequelae. Early indicators of brain damage are needed and currently some specific biochemical markers of brain injury ... Read more...

Resuscitation at birth and cognition at 8 years of age: a cohort study.

18 Apr 2009 BACKGROUND: Mild cerebral injury might cause subtle defects in cognitive function that are only detectable as the child grows older. Our aim was to determine whether infants receiving resuscitation after birth, but with no symptoms of ... Read more...
