Neonatal diseases in llamas and alpacas.

29 Jun 2009 This article attempts to cover the most common problems likely to present in neonatal crias and to give guidance on how to approach these cases, particularly how to stabilize the acute presentation of a sick neonate. It is impossible to cover every ... Read more...

Protein ubiquitination in postsynaptic densities after hypoxia in rat neostriatum is blocked by hypothermia.

21 Jun 2009 Synaptic dysfunction has been associated with neuronal cell death following hypoxia. The lack of knowledge on the mechanisms underlying this dysfunction prompted us to investigate the morphological changes in the postsynaptic densities (PSDs) ... 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...

Technical information about 'Hypoxia, Brain'

Definition: A reduction in brain oxygen supply due to ANOXEMIA (a reduced amount of oxygen being carried in the blood by HEMOGLOBIN), or to a restriction of the blood supply to the brain, or both. Severe hypoxia is referred to as anoxia, and is a relatively common cause of injury to the central nervous system. Prolonged brain anoxia may lead to BRAIN DEATH or a PERSISTENT VEGETATIVE STATE. Histologically, this condition is characterized by neuronal loss which is most prominent in the HIPPOCAMPUS; GLOBUS PALLIDUS; CEREBELLUM; and inferior olives.
