Open AccessDetailed statistical analysis plan for ALBINO: effect of Allopurinol in addition to hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic Brain Injury on Neurocognitive Outcome — a blinded randomized placebo-controlled parallel group multicenter trial for superiority (phase III)
Despite therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and neonatal intensive care, 45–50% of children affected by moderate-to-severe neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) die or suffer from long-term neurodevelopmenta...

Brain injury and long-term outcome after neonatal surgery for non-cardiac congenital anomalies
There is growing evidence that neonatal surgery for non-cardiac congenital anomalies (NCCAs) in the neonatal period adversely affects long-term neurodevelopmental outcome. However, less is known about acquired...

Early predictors of neurodevelopment after perinatal arterial ischemic stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAIS) often has lifelong neurodevelopmental consequences. We aimed to review early predictors (<4 months of age) of long-term outcome.

The influence of nutrition on white matter development in preterm infants: a sco** review
White matter (WM) injury is the most common type of brain injury in preterm infants and is associated with impaired neurodevelopmental outcome (NDO). Currently, there are no treatments for WM injury, but optim...

Open AccessPostnatal serum IGF-1 levels associate with brain volumes at term in extremely preterm infants
Growth factors important for normal brain development are low in preterm infants. This study investigated the link between growth factors and preterm brain volumes at term.

Open AccessMammillary body injury in neonatal encephalopathy: a multicentre, retrospective study
The mammillary bodies (MBs) have repeatedly been shown to be critical for memory, yet little is known about their involvement in numerous neurological conditions linked to memory impairments, including neonata...

Post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation affects white matter maturation in extremely preterm infants
Data on microstructural white matter integrity in preterm infants with post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) are limited. Also, to date, no study has focused on th...

Sensory-based interventions in the NICU: systematic review of effects on preterm brain development
Infants born preterm are known to be at risk for abnormal brain development and adverse neurobehavioral outcomes. To improve early neurodevelopment, several non-pharmacological interventions have been develope...

Open AccessEarly-life stress exposure and large-scale covariance brain networks in extremely preterm-born infants
The stressful extrauterine environment following premature birth likely has far-reaching and persistent adverse consequences. The effects of early “third-trimester” ex utero stress on large-scale brain network...

Brain proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and neurodevelopment after preterm birth: a systematic review
Preterm infants are at risk of neurodevelopmental impairments. At present, proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) is used to evaluate brain metabolites in asphyxiated term infants. The aim of this review...

Open AccessCeRebrUm and CardIac Protection with ALlopurinol in Neonates with Critical Congenital Heart Disease Requiring Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CRUCIAL): study protocol of a phase III, randomized, quadruple-blinded, placebo-controlled, Dutch multicenter trial
Neonates with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are at risk of brain injury that may result in adverse neurodevelopment. To date, no therapy ...

Open AccessPharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Modelling of Allopurinol, its Active Metabolite Oxypurinol, and Biomarkers Hypoxanthine, Xanthine and Uric Acid in Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy Neonates
Allopurinol, an xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor, is a promising intervention that may provide neuroprotection for neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Currently, a double-blind, placebo-control...

Serum docosahexaenoic acid levels are associated with brain volumes in extremely preterm born infants
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) are important for fetal brain growth and development. Our aim was to evaluate the association between serum DHA and AA levels and brain volumes in extremely...

Open AccessGlomerular Filtration Rate in Asphyxiated Neonates Under Therapeutic Whole-Body Hypothermia, Quantified by Mannitol Clearance
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is an established intervention to improve the outcome of neonates with moderate-to-severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy resulting from perinatal asphyxia. Despite this beneficial...

Cerebellar injury in term neonates with hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy is underestimated
Postmortem examinations frequently show cerebellar injury in infants with severe hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), while it is less well visible on MRI. The primary aim was to investigate the correlation ...

Open AccessNutriBrain: protocol for a randomised, double-blind, controlled trial to evaluate the effects of a nutritional product on brain integrity in preterm infants
The gut microbiota and the brain are connected through different mechanisms. Bacterial colonisation of the gut plays a substantial role in normal brain development, providing opportunities for nutritional neur...

Brain temperature of infants with neonatal encephalopathy following perinatal asphyxia calculated using magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Little is known about brain temperature of neonates during MRI. Brain temperature can be estimated non-invasively with proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS), but the most accurate 1H-MRS method has not ...

Early prediction of unilateral cerebral palsy in infants at risk: MRI versus the hand assessment for infants
Neonates with unilateral perinatal brain injury (UPBI) are at risk for develo** unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). This study compares several predictors for USCP later in life.
