The most common form of Acute Kidney
Non Traumatic Coma in children is an important pediatric emergency. It has been an enigma for clinicians for many years. To find the cause of coma and to determine the prognosis is a taxing question for the attending clinicians and the primary concern for relatives in every case.
Non-traumatic coma
Cerebral palsy as complication of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is common problem in Egypt.cerebral palsy is associated with many problems (cognitive disability-epilepsy-visual and hearing problems) that make great economic burden on their family and health care system. In 2010, the prevalence of
The cellular mechanisms by which erythropoietin exert neuroprotection are complex and not completely understood. In the acute period after hypoxia ischaemia, erythropoietin signaling in the brain induces several neuroprotective mechanisms. In addition to its anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory
Sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common neurological complication of sepsis that is often associated with worse prognosis, yet remains poorly understood. It occurs in the absence of direct brain infection or other types of disease-associated encephalopathy such as hepatic or renal
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) affects approximately 1 to 2 per 1000 live births and remains a cause of significant morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period. In response to an anoxic insult, perfusion to vital organs is preserved; however, when this injury is profound concomitant injury
Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) due to hypoxia-ischemia is a major public health concern as it occurs in 6/1000 live term births and has devastating consequences. Many affected neonates suffer lifelong motor disabilities and epilepsy, but increasingly the high prevalence of cognitive and behavioral
The study will be conducted at the NICU of Mansoura University children's Hospital and regional General Hospital where brain cooling is not available.
Infants will be identified in the delivery room or the NICU based on a per-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. The admitting physician will
The primary objective is to detect the treatment effect of Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid on indirect bilirubin in neonates with G-6-PD enzyme deficiency and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Try to provide scientific theories for Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid to treat neonates with G-6-PD enzyme deficiency and
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a rare neonatal condition affecting about 1‰ births and with a high rate of death and severe neurological disability despite significant improvement of the management of this illness in the last ten years. During the first hours and days of life, different
HOPE conducts a 2.5-year multicenter prospective cohort study in Germany on outcome prediction in the early stages of coma caused by cerebral hypoxia-ischemia.
The main features of the project are:
- Control for a self-fulfilling prophecy
- Long-term follow-up (12 months) covering acute and
Background and current knowledge in the area:
Perinatal asphyxia is one of the commonest causes of neonatal death and long term disability, occurring in 20 per 1000 live births. Of these, approximately 2-3 per 1000 will go on to develop hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) (1). In Ireland and the
