Twenty-Four Hours of Mild Hypothermia in Unsedated Newborn Pigs Starting after a Severe Global Hypoxic-Ischemic Insult Is Not Neuroprotective
Three to 12 h of mild hypothermia (HT) starting after hypoxia-ischemia is neuroprotective in piglets that are anesthetized during HT. Newborn infants suffering from neonatal encephalopathy often ventilate spon...

Magnesium Sulfate Treatment after Transient Hypoxia-Ischemia in the Newborn Piglet Does Not Protect against Cerebral Damage
Transient perinatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) can lead to delayed cerebral damage beginning 8–24 h after resuscitation. Cerebroprotective therapies applied soon after HI may thus reduce the severity of brain injur...

Relation of impaired energy metabolism to apoptosis and necrosis following transient cerebral hypoxia-ischaemia
This study investigated whether both mild and severe hypoxia-ischaemia (HI) caused significant numbers of cells to die by apoptosis in the develo** brain in vivo. Newborn piglets were subjected to transient glo...

Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of the Brain during Acute Hypoxia-Ischemia and Delayed Cerebral Energy Failure in the Newborn Piglet
Studies of the brains of severely birth-asphyxiated infants using proton(1H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) have shown changes indicating a rise in cerebral lactate (Lac) and a fall in N- acetylaspartate (...

Mild Hypothermia after Severe Transient Hypoxia-Ischemia Reduces the Delayed Rise in Cerebral Lactate in the Newborn Piglet
This study tested the hypothesis that mild hypothermia after severe transient hypoxia-ischemia reduces the subsequent delayed rise in cerebral lactate peak-area ratios as determined by proton (1H) magnetic resona...

Magnesium Sulfate after Transient Hypoxia-Ischemia Fails to Prevent Delayed Cerebral Energy Failure in the Newborn Piglet
Severely birth-asphyxiated human infants develop delayed(“secondary”) cerebral energy failure, which carries a poor prognosis, during the first few days of life. This study tested the hypothesis that i.v. magn...

The Cytochrome Oxidase Redox State in Vivo
The CuA redox centre of cytochrome oxidase has a distinct redox-sensitive absorbance band in the near infrared that enables it to be detected non-invasively (Jöbsis 1977). We have been recently develo** novel i...

Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of the Brain in Normal Preterm and Term Infants, and Early Changes after Perinatal Hypoxia-Ischemia
The aims of this study were 1) to define normal perinatal maturational changes in proton metabolite peak-area ratios in two regions of the neonatal brain, the thalamic and occipitoparietal regions, and2) to inves...

Mild Hypothermia after Severe Transient Hypoxia-Ischemia Ameliorates Delayed Cerebral Energy Failure in the Newborn Piglet
ABSTRACT: Severely birth-asphyxiated human infants develop delayed (“secondary”) cerebral energy failure, which carries a poor prognosis, during the first few days of life. This study tested the hypothesis tha...

Delayed (“Secondary”) Cerebral Energy Failure after Acute Hypoxia-Ischemia in the Newborn Piglet: Continuous 48-Hour Studies by Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
ABSTRACT: Phosphorus (31P) spectra from the brains of severely birth-asphyxiated human infants are commonly normal on the first day of life. Later, cerebral energy failure develops, which carries a serious progno...

Large increases in1H metaboliteT 2's after cerebral hypoxia-ischemia correlate with ATP depletion
In vivo proton (1H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) can measure cerebral metabolite concentrations and nuclear relaxation times. Function of the sodium (Na+)/potassium (K+) pump in cell membranes depends o...

1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the brains of normal infants and after perinatal hypoxia-ischemia
The aims of this study were to define proton (1H) metabolite peak-area ratios in the brains of normal infants and to investigate abnormalities after perinatal hypoxia-ischemia. Point-resolved spectroscopy (PRESS)...

134 CEREBRAL LACTATE AND N-ACETYLASPARTATE/CHOLINE RATIOS AND DELAYED ENERGY FAILURE FOLLOWING ACUTE HYPOXIA-ISCHAEMIA IN THE NEWBORN PIG
Falling [phosphocreatine(PCr)]/[inorganic phosphate(Pi)] following perinatal asphyxia indicates a bad prognosis, as may increases in lactate(lac)/choline(cho) peak area ratios. The aim of this study was to def...

107 MOTOR TESTS OF INTERHEMISPHERIC CONTROL AND COGNITIVE FUNCTION IN VERY PRETERM INFANTS AT EIGHT YEARS
We have previously reported that damage to the posterior corpus callosum might explain some of the subtle cognitive processing deficits found later in many preterm infants. To test this hypothesis we carried o...

42 HIGH SPIN-SPIN RELAXATION TIMES SEEN BY PROTON MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY IN PIGLET BRAINS CORRELATE WITH ATP DEPLETION AFTER ACUTE HYPOXIA-ISCHAEMIA
Using 1H and 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) we aimed to investigate relationships between 1H spin-spin relaxation times (T2s) and nucleotide triphosphate (NTP; largely ATP) levels in newborn piglet bra...
