Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Noncirrhotic Hyperammonemic Encephalopathy
… manifestation which include hyperammonemic encephalopathy. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman with no prior medical history who presented with a coma and a diagnosis of inoperable fibrolamellar hepatocarcinoma requiring a cadaver donor transplant. While she was on the waiting list, …

Role of Acetyl-L-Carnitine in Hepatic Encephalopathy
Hepatic encephalopathy is a common complication of hepatic cirrhosis. The clinical diagnosis is based on two concurrent types of symptoms: impaired mental status and impaired neuromotor function. Impaired mental status is characterized by deterioration in mental status with psychomotor dysfunction, …

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 role of Substance P in chronic traumatic encephalopathy
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is believed to be a neurodegenerative disease associated with contact sports and exposure to repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI). CTE has attracted significant attraction over the past few years due to the high incidence of sports-related head …

Understanding the experiences of caregivers for patients with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
… caregivers for patients with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and develop an informative resource to help support these caregivers. Literature on caregiving in other contexts (i.e. neurodegenerative diseases) has consistently shown the prevalence of caregiving burden, and how this causes a …

Early biomarkers to predict grade of encephalopathy following hypoxic ischaemic injury
The standard early markers for identifying and grading HIE severity, are not sufficient to ensure all children who would benefit from treatment are identified in a timely fashion. The aim of this thesis was to explore potential early biomarkers of HIE. Methods: To achieve this a cohort of infants …

Predictors of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in NFL Players: A Meta Analysis Review
<p>Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that emerges as a result of repetitive mild traumatic brain injury and has been studied within athletes of all sports. Repetitive blows to the brain are associated with many pathological changes and an emergence of …

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 …

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy grading using novel EEG signal processing and machine learning techniques
\IEEEPARstart{H}{ypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy} (HIE) is a critical brain injury in newborns resulting from oxygen or blood supply deprivation during birth. Traditional diagnosis methods for HIE require specialized expertise from a trained medical professional, and immediate intervention of …

Predicting adverse neurological outcomes in infants receiving therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy
Background: Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a categorization of term infants with brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen and/or blood flow to the brain. Despite, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) treatment, consequences of HIE can include life-long disability or even death. Current diagnostic …

Mother-newborn EEG connectivity during affectionate touch and impact of hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy
… neurophysiological responses. Hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE), a brain injury caused by lack of oxygen and blood flow to the brain, disrupts early neurodevelopment. I conducted a systematic review of HIE outcomes, and I found that HIE newborns are at increased risk of disrupted …

Feeding and swallowing in neonates with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): a descriptive study
… hypoxia 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 …

Early prediction of hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy in newborn infants in a resource-limited setting
Hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) after birth is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, particularly in resource-limited regions. Therapeutic hypothermia initiated within the first 6 hours of life, in settings that can offer neonatal intensive care, is a therapy that can …
