Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of High Risk Infants
… Purpose: To determine the relationship between neurodevelopmental outcome and gestational age, birth weight, Apgar scores, NICU admission, infant gender, maternal depression, home environment, and parent-child interaction. Methodology: This study utilized a descriptive, correlational design and …

Associations between mood states in high-risk infants and later neurodevelopmental outcomes
… of associations between twovariables: "neurodevelopmental outcome" (cerebral palsy, developmental delays and non-handicapped) and "mood states" (fussy/skittish, calm, sunny, and too variable to rate) in a sample of 208 high-risk infants. It was based on the premise that predominantly …

The prevention of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in children born to diabetic mothers
… there are no interventions to reduce the risk of neurodevelopmental impairment in children born to mothers with diabetes. The studies in this thesis aimed to determine if there were antenatal interventions that could reduce the incidence of GDM, if maternal glycaemic control during pregnancy and …

Modulation of Neurodevelopmental Outcomes using Lactobacillus in a Model of Maternal Microbiome Dysbiosis
Neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, are a heterogeneous set of developmental disorders affecting the central nervous system. Studies into their etiology remain challenging, as neurodevelopmental disorders …

AN URBAN BIOETHICS APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING DISPARITIES IN NEURODEVELOPMENTAL OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE
… the most common birth defect and often resultsin neurodevelopmental impairments and psychological problems which impede educational and occupational attainment and decrease overall quality of life into adulthood. While morbidity and mortality outcomes have improved over the last several decades, …

Prenatal alcohol exposure and the early neurodevelopmental outcomes of children in a South African birth cohort study
… and PAE may be associated with adverse child neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, few studies have explored the association of PAE, including risk factors, and subsequent neurodevelopmental trajectories over multiple timepoints in the early years. Given the high burden of PAE and associated …

Predicting Neurodevelopment in Very Preterm Infants Using Thalamic MRI Features and Machine Learning
… of infant death and is associated with later neurodevelopmental impairments. Neuroimaging is a powerful tool to analyse neuroanatomy abnormalities in preterm infants, allowing the examination of different brain structures, such as the thalamus and its alterations. Notably, the thalamus is a …

Neurocognitive development in children
Empirical Study 1: Early intervention for neurodevelopmental problems is dependent on early, accurate detection and identification of potential problems. However, developmental trajectories are non-linear and variable, thus, challenges exist. Issues with the sensitivity and reliability of screening …

Neonatal Toxic Stress and Long-Term Neurodevelopment in Premature Infants
… stressors that increase their risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes.</p> <p><strong>Purpose: </strong>The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship among socio-demographic factors, exposure to stressors in the NICU environment, stress modifiers/buffers, neonatal morbidities at …

Longitudinal assessment of the impact of preterm birth on cognitive functions and identification of novel methods for stratification of children at risk of long-term impairment
… risk of brain maldevelopment, and subsequent neurodevelopmental deficits compared to their term-born peers. Given that neurodevelopmental trajectories are amenable to early interventions, there is a critical window of opportunity to improve long-term outcomes for children born preterm. …

Predicting adverse neurological outcomes in infants receiving therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy
… tools may not always be associated with outcomes. Thus, better tools are needed for prognostication. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measures of cerebral regional oxygenation (rSO2) is a growing area of interest for prognostication. Objective: The objective of this study is to determine …

The association of maternal HIV status during pregnancy on longitudinal neuro-immune regulation, and neurodevelopment in HIV-exposed uninfected children
… the biological mechanisms involved in the neurodevelopmental outcomes in HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) children are still largely unknown. Evidence from clinical studies showed that HEU children have an altered immune regulation compared to their unexposed counterparts, and this is …

Prenatal Cardiovascular Physiology and Early Neurodevelopment in Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease
… with congenital heart disease (CHD); however, neurodevelopmental delays and disorders (NDD) are common comorbidities. Studies have demonstrated delays in brain growth and maturation begin as early as the third trimester, with correlations to early neurodevelopmental outcomes. These disturbances …

Childhood outcomes in children at risk of neonatal hypoglycaemia
… of this thesis are to (1) describe growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes of children born at risk of neonatal hypoglycaemia, a common condition that may be associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcome; (2) investigate methods used for data collection in paediatric longitudinal studies; …

신생아에서의 뇌정맥동 혈전증의 임상 특징 및 예후
… patients with a high risk of an adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. It has been reported that the neonatal incidence is approximately 0.41 per 1000 live births, but the value might be underestimated because of unspecific clinical presentation and difficulties in radiological diagnosis in …

Early life exposure to metals and adolescent neurodevelopment
… These metals are associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, with evidence of non-linear associations for essential metals. Metals target brain regions involved in cognition and motor function. However, there is a paucity of epidemiological studies focused on early-life exposure …

Assessment of early-life choline and iron deficiencies on neurodevelopment in the young pig
… as an important translational model for studying neurodevelopmental outcomes influenced by pediatric nutrition. The use of magnetic resonance imaging allows for a non-invasive understanding of how nutrition affects neurodevelopmental patterns and is amendable to both pre-clinical and clinical …

Epileptic Spasms: Evidence for oral corticosteroids and implications for low and middle income countries (Systematic Review)
… dosage and regimen as well as the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. Based on the limited existing studies a treatment guideline for LMIC is proposed which could be used to standardize interventions permitting clarification of these unmet questions.

Regional neurometabolite trajectories and how they relate to neurocognitive
… of neurometabolite profiles with functional neurodevelopmental outcomes in CHEU. Methodology At baseline a total of 1143 infants (from 1137 women) were included in the DCHS, 248 CHEU and 895 CHU (matched controls). A subset of 152 children enrolled in the DCHS had magnetic resonance …

Long-term neurodevelopmental effects of acute organophosphate poisoning amongst South African children
… This study aims to evaluate long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in a sample of paediatric survivors of acute organophosphate poisoning (OPP) a subject which has, to date not been well described. Objectives: This study determines the performance of South African children surviving …
