Neonatal Encephalopathy (NE) describes neonates with disturbed neurological function in
the first post-natal days of life. NE is an overall term that does not specify the etiology of the …

In randomized trials, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is associated with reduced prevalence of
the composite outcome mortality or neurodevelopmental morbidity in infants with neonatal …

Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring systems are used in the neonatal
period to predict outcome in infants with neonatal encephalopathy. Our aim was to assess …

The mammillary bodies (MB) and hippocampi are important for memory function and are

(1) Background: Cerebral MRI plays a significant role in assessing the extent of brain injury
in neonates with neonatal encephalopathy after perinatal asphyxia. Over the last decades …

Therapeutic hypothermia is now standard of care for neonates with hypoxic-ischemic
encephalopathy (HIE) in high income countries (HIC). Conversely, compelling trial evidence …

Reliably assessing the early neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants with neonatal
encephalopathy (NE) is of utmost importance to advise parents and implement early and …

In addition to the neurological examination discussed in Chapter 12, certain specialized
studies are critical components of the neurological evaluation of the newborn. Most of these …

Background Preterm infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) are at high risk of adverse
neurodevelopmental outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore the value of diffusion …
