Thirty-one children who survived severe birth asphyxia defined by a 1-minute Apgar score of 0, or a 5-minute Apgar score of less than 4, have been seen at age 5 to 10 years for neurological and psychological assessment. Their progress has been compared with that of controls matched for sex, birthweight, gestational age, and social class. 29(93%) of the 31 asphyxiated group and all the controls ...

In electron micrographs of the molecular layer of the mouse cerebellum frozen within 30 sec of circulatory arrest and subsequently dried at — 79 °C an appreciable extracellular space was found between the axons of the granular cells. Tight junctions were regularly observed between preand postsynaptic structures and the enveloping glia cells. In micrographs of cerebellum frozen 8 min after decap...

HULL, C. D., AND A. VAN HARREVELD. Absence oj conduction of spreading de)wession through cortical region damaged by asphyxiation. Am. J. Physiol. 207(4) : 92 I-924. Ig6+-An area of cerebral cortex was asphyxiated for 30-35 min by application of a weight exerting a pressure on the tissue greater than the blood pressure. Three days later the asphyxiated region showed in most. experiments a marked...

Appleyard, W. J., and Cottom, D. G. (1970). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 45, 705. Effect of asphyxia on thrombotest values in low birthweight infants. Thrombotest was used as a measure of coagulation status in 55 low birthweight infants. The initial levels were similar in both babies who were asphyxiated at birth and in those who had uncomplicated deliveries. On the other hand, 24 hours af...

Background: Perinatal asphyxia is one of common causes neonatal morbidity and mortality. Disorders electrolytes are more in the immediate postnatal period could affects outcomes neonates significantly. Therefore, we conducted this study with specific aims to describe electrolyte status asphyxiated find out several factors associated disorders neonates. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descri...

Background: Therapeutic hypothermia has become an established protocol for all neonates with moderate to severe Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE). There are very few studies comparing the neurodevelopmental outcomes in asphyxiated neonates who received therapeutic hypothermia or did not. This study aimed to assess the neurodevelopmental outcomes of asphyxiated neonates with features of HIE...
