  • MRI Changes of Brain in Newborns with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy Clinical Stage Ii Or Stage Iii- a Descriptive Study
    Original Research Article DOI: 10.18231/2455-6793.2017.0009 MRI changes of brain in newborns with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy clinical stage ii or stage iii- a descriptive study Jose O1,*, Sheena V2 1Assistant Professor, 2Junior Resident, Dept. of Pediatrics, Govt. TD Medical College, Alappuzha *Corresponding Author: Email: [email protected] Abstract Objectives: The aim of the study was to estimate the proportion of MRI changes in newborns with HIE, to compare the findings of term and preterm babies and to identify if there is any clinical stage specific MRI findings Methods: After obtaining clearance from ethical committee, 30 newborns with either stage II or stage III HIE are included in the study. MRI brain was taken between one to two weeks of age once the vitals of the babies are stable & after ensuring euthermia. Results: Out of the 30 babies, 19 were male babies and 11 female babies. 16 of them were term and 14 of them preterm babies.27 of the total 30 patients had MRI changes of HIE, which accounts for 90%. 17of the 30 mothers were primi mothers which accounts for 56.7%. Most important antenatal factors associated with HIE are gestational hypertension and UTI. Gestational diabetes mellitus and placental/cord factors are also found to be important contributing factors. 33.4% had a history of UTI, 30% gestational hypertension, 23.4% gestational diabetes mellitus in the antenatal period. Conclusion: Basal ganglia and/or thalamus were affected in 50% of term babies. 87.5% of babies with periventricular leucomalacia are preterms. Intracranial hemorrhage was seen in 7.4% of the babies and all of them were preterms.

  • Prognostication in Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy: a Qualitative Research Study
    Prognostication in Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy: A Qualitative Research Study Lisa Anne Rasmussen Department of Medicine, Division of Experimental Medicine and Biomedical Ethics Unit McGill University Montreal, Quebec, Canada November 2017 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science in Experimental Medicine, Specialization in Biomedical Ethics ©Lisa Anne Rasmussen, 2017 Abstract Background Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is the most frequent cause of neonatal encephalopathy, and results in significant morbidity and mortality. From an ethical and clinical standpoint, neurological prognosis is fundamental in the care of neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. However, accurately predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes for neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is particular difficult, and fraught with challenges. At present, focused research in this area is limited. Objectives This thesis aims to present a review of the current literature on prognosis and the practice of prognostication in neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, focusing on the integral challenges posed by this vulnerable group of neonates. Furthermore, this thesis incorporates an original qualitative study that explores physician perspectives about prognostication in neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. The main objective of this thesis is to advance the current understanding of the practice of prognostication in neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, in hopes of opening

Perinatal asphyxia has an incidence of 1 to 6 per 1,000 live full-term births, and represents the third most common cause of neonatal death (23%) after preterm birth (28%) and severe infections (26%). Many preconceptional, antepartum and intrapartum risk factors have been shown to be associated with perinatal asphyxia. The standard for defining an intrapartum hypoxic-ischemic event as sufficient to produce moderate to severe neonatal encephalopathy which subsequently leads to cerebral palsy has been established in 3 Consensus statements. The cornerstone of all three statements is the presence of severe metabolic acidosis (pH < 7 and base deficit ≥ 12 mmol/L) at birth in a newborn exhibiting early signs of moderate or severe encephalopathy. Perinatal asphyxia may affect virtually any organ, but hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is the most studied clinical condition and that is burdened with the most severe sequelae.

  • Adolescent Medicine and General Pediatrics III Concurrent Session 8
    Abstracts J Investig Med: first published as 10.1136/jim-d-15-00013.378 on 11 January 2016. Downloaded from prevalent in pediatric patients hospitalized with espiratory syncytial virus (RSV). However, published literature on their use is limited. The objective of our study is review the use of hypertonic saline and high flow oxygen in infants hospitalized with RSV. Methods Used We performed a retrospective chart review of pediatric patients less <1 year of age who were hospita- lized at Children’s Hospital of Orange County during the 2013–14 RSV season with a diagnosis of RSV. We docu- mented the management regimen, with a particular look at the use of HS and HFNC. 165 patients less <1 year of age fulfilled our inclusion criteria. 6 patients were omitted from data analysis due to incomplete outside records. Summary of Results For patients <2 months of age, 9 (53%) of 17 with underlying conditions vs. 39 (66%) of 59 patients without underlying conditions required HS (P=0.3956). Although it didn’t meet statistical significance, it seems that the use of HFNC tended to be more frequent in patients <2 months of age with underlying conditions (29% vs. 10%, P=0.062). Use of HFNC or HS was not different for those >2 months of age with or without underlying conditions. The mean length of stay (LOS) for different types of treatment is summarized in the table below. Conclusions Our study shows that the use of HFNC tended to be more frequent in young infants with an underlying condition. The use of HFNC or HS was asso- ciated with longer LOS.

MDG 4 is concerned with under 5 mortality. Although we have done very well since lndependence to reduce our infant and toddler mortality rates, we are now faced with some last lap issues in achieving this goal. Despite urbanization there are still many children in the rural areas. This constitutes a vulnerable group in many ways. Among the factors contributing to this vulner- ability is the distance from specialist care. There is a need to ensure that doctors in the frontline are well equipped to handle common paediatric emergencies so that proper care can be instituted from the very beginning. Although all doctors are now required to do 4 months of pre-registration training in Paediatrics, this is insufficient to prepare them for all the conditions they are likely to meet as Medical Officers in district hospitals and health clinics. Hence the effort made by the paediatricians to prepare a protocol book covering all the common paediatric problems is laudable. I would also like to congratulate them for bringing out a third edition within 4 years of the previous edition. l am confident that this third edition will contribute to improving the care of children attending the Ministry’s facilities throughout the country.

  • Fas-Ligand and Interleukin-6 in the Cerebrospinal Fluid Are Early
    Leifsdottir et al. Journal of Neuroinflammation (2018) 15:223 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12974-018-1253-y RESEARCH Open Access Fas-ligand and interleukin-6 in the cerebrospinal fluid are early predictors of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and long-term outcomes after birth asphyxia in term infants Kristin Leifsdottir1,3, Huseyin Mehmet2,4, Staffan Eksborg1 and Eric Herlenius1* Abstract Background: Cerebral ischemia generates neuroinflammation that can induce neural cell death. This cohort study assessed whether Fas-ligand (FasL) and interleukin (IL)-6 levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) can serve as biomarkersofhypoxicbraininjuryinneonates. Methods: Term infants (> 37-week gestational age) who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Karolinska University Hospital in years 2002 to 2004 with perinatal asphyxia were enrolled prospectively. Control infants without brain pathology underwent lumbar puncture for suspected infection. FasL and IL-6 levels were measured in the CSF, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. All patients underwent neurological assessment at 18 months. HIE was classified as mild, moderate, or severe (HIE I–III). Adverse neurological outcome at 18 months was defined as a mental developmental index < 85, deafness, blindness, cerebral palsy, or seizure disorder. Results: Of the 44 HIE patients, 14, 16, and 14 had HIE-I, HIE-II, and HIE-III, respectively. HIE-II and HIE-III patients had higher FasL and IL-6 levels than HIE-I patients and the 20 controls (all p < 0.0001). Patients with adverse outcomes had higher FasL and IL-6 levels than patients with normal outcomes and controls (both p < 0.0001).
