Analyzing autonomic activity in neonatal seizures
Recent studies suggest that seizures in the newborn occur more often than previously appreciated. The effect of neonatal seizures remain unclear, however. Do seizures in the newborn cause brain injury, are they a consequence of brain injury, or are they benign? Seizures in the newborn tend to occur …

Novel strategies to enhance bumetanide concentrations in the brain in the treatment of neonatal seizures
Seizures are a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder that affect up to 5/1000 newborns. Seizures result in detrimental developmental outcomes for many neonates, including mortality, disability and epilepsy. Current antiepileptic treatments, such as phenobarbital, display poor efficacy rates. …

Non-linear dynamics and critical transitions in neonatal brain
Neonatal seizure detection methods have improved the quality of life for new born babies. However, most models suffer from an increased amount of false positive detections that restricts them from being used live in an Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. If the dynamical mechanisms responsible for …

A descriptive study of suspected perinatal asphyxia at Mitchells Plain District Hospital. A case series
… More than half of these mortalities occur in the neonatal period with perinatal asphyxia as one of the leading causes. This study investigated and identified the characteristics of perinatal asphyxia and its contributing factors at a district hospital in Cape Town. Methods: A retrospective …

Identification of the impact of generalized seizures on brain electrical activity during development using EEG correlates
Tato studie jako první provádí záznam EEG a spektrální analýzu výkonové spektrální hustoty v konkrétních frekvenčních pásmech (delta, theta, alfa, beta, gama) v pozdních fázích vývoje po aplikaci flurothylu u nezralých potkanů. Tato studie předpokládá, že epileptogenní proces po flurothylem …

Study of the Term Neonatal Brain Injury with combined Diffuse Optical Tomography and Electroencephalography
… (EEG) in the investigation of neonatal term brain injury. With hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) and perinatal stroke being the most frequent contributors to brain injury in the term neonatal population, the first part of the thesis focuses on the description and ongoing …
