Asphyxia neonatorum in a developing world situation : a study of the impact of asphyxia neonatorum in term infants on the pattern of handicap in the Ciskei; an evalution of its epidemiology and a trial of the efficacy of current therapy
This study addresses the problem of asphyxia neonatorum in a developing African community in the Mdantsane region of Ciskei. It also documents asphyxia as a prominent cause of childhood handicap, examines aspects of its epidemiology and evaluates the effectiveness of a regimen of phenobarbitone and …

Classification of Electroencephalogram in Ovine Model of Perinatal Hypoxia by Movement of the Autoregressive Model Parameters
… encephalopathy (HIE) secondary to perinatal asphyxia occurs when the brain does not receive enough oxygen and blood. Oxygen deprivation can be caused by knotting of the umbilical cord, failure to breathe at birth, as well as a difficult birth. HIE is a dangerous condition that requires …
