Neuropsychological Outcome following Perinatal HIE: Utility of MR Spectroscopy
… following hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), a neurodegenerative process caused by prolonged asphyxiation during birth, can vary between minimal impairment and cerebral palsy, mental retardation, or death (30%) (McCulloch, Taylor, & Whyte, 1991). Prognosis after HIE is often difficult to …

Perinatal Nicotine Exposure and Programming of HIE Sensitive Phenotype in Neonatal Rat Brains
… pregnant rats; hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in 10-day-old rat pups. In the first part of our study, we demonstrated that nicotine exposure induces aberrant brain development in P10 pups, downregulating AT2R expression in male but upregulating AT2R in female pup brain, enhancing brain …

Feeding and swallowing in neonates with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): a descriptive study
… and subsequent hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), are the second highest cause of neonatal deaths in South Africa. For survivors, such complications may be associated with a substantial burden of impairment, including the inability to feed well and swallow safely, thus representing a possible …

Effect of Maternal Hypoxia on Fetal Development: Programming of HIE Phenotype in Neonatal Rat Brain
… insult increasing the vulnerability of this to HIE brain injury and the role of GR and the epigenetic modification that regulate the expression of the GR will be assessed. Finally, the MAPK/ERK pathway as part of the downstream of the neuroprotective mechanism of the GR against neonate HIE brain …

Using information technology to exchange health information among healthcare providers : measuring usage and understanding value
Health information exchange (HIE) - the electronic exchange of health information among healthcare institutions - has been projected to hold enormous promise as an antidote to the fragmented healthcare delivery system in the United States. After decades of mostly failed attempts, we still do not …

Facilitating health information exchange in low- and middle-income countries: conceptual considerations, stakeholders perspectives and deployment strategies illustrated through an in-depth case study of Pakistan
Background Health information exchange (HIE) may help healthcare professionals and policymakers make informed decisions to improve patient and population health outcomes. There is, however, limited uptake of HIE in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While resource constraints are an …

Altered cord blood biomarkers in neonatal brain injury
… Early identifiers for infants at risk of HIE is prone to subjective-bias or poorly objective biochemical measurements. The umbilical cord blood (UCB) can give a snapshot of both the newborn and the in-utero environment. It is non-invasive to both mother and infant and contains microRNA …

Neuroprotective Molecules and Strategies in a Rat Model of Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy
<p>Neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a devastating disease that primarily causes neuronal and white matter injury and is among the leading cause of death among infants. Currently there are no well-established treatments; thus, it is important to understand the pathophysiology of the …

MicroRNA expression and function in neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy
Hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a devastating neonatal condition which affects 2-3 per 1000 infants annually. The current gold standard of treatment - induced hypothermia, has the ability to reduce neonatal mortality and improve neonatal morbidity. However, to be effective it needs to be …

The early time course of autophagy in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells following endurance exercise
… (50% of VO2max ), and a high intensity exercise (HIE) trial for 1h (70% of VO2max ). Results. Core temperature and heart rate during HIE was higher during 10-60 and 5-60 minutes, respectively, when compared to the same time during MIE and pre-HIE, p < 0.01. IL-6 levels were increased (p < 0.01) 0h …
