Axin2 as regulatory and therapeutic target in newborn brain injury and remyelination. [PDF]
Permanent damage to white matter tracts, comprising axons and myelinating oligodendrocytes, is an important component of brain injuries of the newborn that cause cerebral palsy and cognitive disabilities, as well as multiple sclerosis in adults. However,

Moderate hypothermia within 6 h of birth plus inhaled xenon versus moderate hypothermia alone after birth asphyxia (TOBY-Xe): a proof-of-concept, open-label, randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Background Moderate cooling after birth asphyxia is associated with substantial reductions in death and disability, but additional therapies might provide further benefit.

Can we further optimize therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy?
Perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is a leading cause of neonatal death and disability. Therapeutic hypothermia significantly reduces death and major disability associated with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy; however, many infants still ...

Late Presentation of Hypoxic Injury of Brain in an Infant
Perinatal asphyxia is one of the leading causes of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. In a developing country like Nepal, home delivery is the leading cause of perinatal asphyxia. Neuroimaging remains the diagnostic modality of choice.

Early changes in brain structure correlate with language outcomes in children with neonatal encephalopathy. [PDF]
Global patterns of brain injury correlate with motor, cognitive, and language outcomes in survivors of neonatal encephalopathy (NE). However, it is still unclear whether local changes in brain structure predict specific deficits.

Ultrasonographic Evaluation of the Neonatal Brain in Cases of Birth Asphyxia [PDF]
Introduction: Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a common condition in newborns as a result of birth asphyxia. Affected neonates display a number of clinical features by which the condition may be suspected.

Short-Term Neurodevelopmental Outcome in Term Neonates Treated with Phenobarbital versus Levetiracetam: A Single-Center Experience [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Phenobarbital (PB) has been traditionally used as the first-line treatment for neonatal seizures. More recently, levetiracetam (LEV) has been increasingly used as a promising newer antiepileptic medication for treatment of seizures in ...
