Inflammation and the Insulin-like Growth Factor System at Very Preterm Birth. Implications for Early Morbidity and Development.
… present already before delivery may injure the immature brain and interfere with neuro-protective mechanisms. A postnatal increase in cytokines was on the other hand associated with early morbidity, such as arterial hypotension and cerebral hemorrhage. Concentrations of IGF-I displayed a …

Outcomes of Selective Percutaneous Myofascial Lengthening Surgery (SPML) In Children with Lower Extremity Spasticity
… is caused by a nonprogressive abnormality of an immature brain which can result in spasticity (Paneth, 2006; Pelligrino, 2002). Children with spastic CP usually present with muscle stiffness which eventually leads to decreased range of motion (ROM) in the knee and ankle joints interfering with …

Perinatal Nicotine Exposure and Programming of HIE Sensitive Phenotype in Neonatal Rat Brains
… of susceptibility to hypoxic ischemic brain injury in the immature brain, focusing on the roles of AT1R and/or AT2R and trying to reveal the underlying epigenetic mechanisms. Therefore, we established two rat models: perinatal nicotine exposure model in time-dated pregnant rats; …

Gene Delivery of Adenoviral-TMBIM6 Vector Protects the Neonatal Brain after Hypoxic-Ischemic Injury
… hypoxia ischemia (HI) is an injury caused to the immature brain due to reduced cerebral blood flow which is associated with life-long neurological impairments. HI causes oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which results in ER stress. Generation of reactive oxygen species …

Mechanisms of Neonatal Brain Injury in a Rat Pup Hypoxic-Ischemic Model
<p>Perinatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury is a major cause of acute morbidity and chronic nemological mortality in infants and children, with a reported incidence of 2- 9 per 1000 births. The pathophyiological mechanisms leading to immature brain damage after HI are complex and relate to the …

The role of neonatal immunity in preterm brain injury
Perinatal brain injury is an important cause of mortality and morbidity and is associated with neurological disabilities such as those seen in cerebral palsy. Prematurity, especially in combination with very low birth weight, is associated with elevated risks for developing brain injuries, and the …
