Seizure-associated brain injury in term newborns with perinatal asphyxia.
BACKGROUND There is controversy over whether seizures, the most common manifestation of neonatal brain injury, may themselves damage the developing brain. OBJECTIVE To determine if neonatal seizures are independently associated with brain injury in newborns with perinatal asphyxia. METHODS Ninety term neonates were studied with MRI and single-voxel (1)H-MRS on median day of life 6 (range 1 ...
متن کاملAcute Kidney Injury (AKI) in perinatal asphyxia
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common consequence of perinatal asphyxia, occurring in upto 56% of these neonates. It is important to recognize AKI in asphyxiated neonates to facilitate administration of appropriate fluids and electrolytes in order to improve their outcome. Objectives: To determine the incidence of AKI in asphyxiated neonates and to correlate the severity and type of...
متن کاملPathophysiological Roles of Cytokines in the Brain During Perinatal Asphyxia
The essential pathophysiology of perinatal asphyxia (PA) may be attributed to ischemia-reperfusion injuries.The resultant circulation failures contribute to cardiorespiratory dysfunctions at birth. The damage affects tissues and organs, leading to irreparable sequelae such as persistent cerebral palsy. In addition, ischemia-reperfusion injuries due to PA may cause aberrant immunological respons...
متن کاملChromosomal aberrations in Perinatal Asphyxia
This study was conducted to evaluate the level of chromosomal damage in perinatal asphyxia and correlate it with severity of asphyxia. Fourty term neonates with asphyxia and twenty term babies without asphyxia were included in this case control study. Blood samples were collected within 24 hours of birth for karyotyping and oxidative stress by serum malondealdehyde (MDA) estimation. The degree ...
متن کاملCardiac Function in Perinatal Asphyxia
At present no clear-cut physiologic/serological parameter exist which enable an early identification of neonates who are at increased risk to develop myocardial dysfunction in perinatal asphyxia. This study was conducted to find out the incidence and features of cardiac dysfunction in perinatal asphyxia The present study was carried out on 48 neonates ,17 healthy neonates were taken as controls...
