Cognitive outcomes in late childhood and adolescence of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
Bo Lyun Lee, Hannah C. Glass
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2021;64(12):608-618.   Published online May 24, 2021
∙ Cognitive impairments occur in children with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) even without neuromotor deficits.
∙ Therapeutic hypothermia has improved neurodevelopmental outcomes of children with HIE; however, 40% of children remain at risk of death/disability or cognitive impairments necessitating the development of adjunctive neuroprotective therapies.
∙ Long-term follow-up until adolescence is required to identify cognitive dysfunction.
∙ A pattern of watershed injury on brain imaging is associated with poor cognitive outcomes.

Evaluation of the role of ischemia modified albumin in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
Mohamed A. Talat, Rabab M. Saleh, Mohammed M. Shehab, Naglaa A. Khalifa, Maha Mahmoud Hamed Sakr, Walaa M. Elmesalamy

Question: What is the value of ischemia modified albumin (IMA) as a diagnostic marker for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)?
Finding: IMA levels were significantly higher (nearly double elevation) in hypoxic than healthy newborns in the first few hours after birth in the full-term neonates.
Meaning: IMA can be a reliable marker for the early diagnosis of neonatal HIE and can be a predictor of injury severity.
Hypoxia-inducible factor: role in cell survival in superoxide dismutase overexpressing mice after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2019;62(12):444-449.   Published online October 18, 2019
Background: Sixty percent of infants with severe neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy die, while most survivors have permanent disabilities. Treatment for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is limited to therapeutic hypothermia, but it does not offer complete protection. Here, we investigated whether hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) promotes cell survival and suggested neuroprotective strategies.
Purpose: HIF-1α-deficient mice have increased brain injury after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI), and the...
Longitudinal Change of Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity in Neonates with Perinatal Asphyxia and Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy with Doppler Technique
Kook In Park, Dong Kwan Han, Joon Soo Lee, Ran Namgung, Chul Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(9):1196-1204.   Published online September 15, 1994
Fifty-three full-term, preterm, term-SGA newborn infants with perinatal asphyxia and 16 full-term infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy were studied with color Doppler songraphy to assess the postnatal change of the cerebral blood flow velocity(CBFV) longitudinally. A control group of 81 healthy infants also had CBFV recordings during the 1st week of life. Pourcelot Resistance index(PI) and area under the velocity curve(AUVC)...
