Neonatal subcortical bruising
نویسندگان
چکیده
A specific type of acute brain injury can occur during birth, presenting on ultrasound examination with focal, unilateral, or asymmetrical change in the core of the superior frontal gyri. Ultrasound inspection of the superior gyri near the convexity of the frontal lobe is warranted following mechanically difficult delivery.

An automatic incision device for obtaining blood samples from the heels of preterm infants causes less damage than a conventional manual lancet.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate in a randomised blind study the effect on puncture site lesions of two different incision devices used to obtain blood samples from preterm infants by repeated heel sticks. SETTING The neonatal intensive care unit at the Hospital for Children and Adolescents and Laboratory, Helsinki University Central Hospital.

متن کاملImmediate maternal and neonatal effects of forceps and vacuum-assisted deliveries.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the differences in immediate maternal and neonatal effects of forceps and vacuum-assisted deliveries. METHODS We conducted a medical record review of all forceps and vacuum-assisted deliveries that occurred from January 1, 1998, to August 30, 1999, at Winthrop-University Hospital. Maternal demographics and delivery characteristics were recorded. Maternal outcomes, such a...
متن کاملDistinct origins of neocortical projection neurons and interneurons in vivo.
Recent studies in rodents have suggested that some cortical GABAergic interneurons arise within the neuroepithelium of the subcortical telencephalon then migrate dorsally into the cerebral cortex. These studies have relied heavily on short-term organotypic culture methods and on the analysis of mutant mice that die during the neonatal period. The purpose of this study is to ascertain directly w...
متن کاملReduction in periventricular haemorrhage in preterm infants.
Our previous cerebral ultrasound study of antecedents of periventricular haemorrhage in infants weighing 1250 g or less at birth suggested that neonatal events that caused increased or fluctuating cerebral blood flow lead to periventricular haemorrhage. As the risk period for this type of haemorrhage was the first four days of life strict guidelines were introduced to avoid the previously ident...
متن کاملEffects of High-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Motor Functions in Patients with Subcortical Stroke
Background: Motor function impairment occurs in approximately two-thirds of patients with subcortical stroke. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive technique for modulating cortical excitability. Objectives: The present study was designed for assessing the efficacy of high-frequency rTMS (5 Hz) on ipsilesional primary motor cortex in patients with subcortical stro...
