Background and Aim: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a serious complication of pregnancy leading to an increased risk of perinatal hypoxia, intrauterine and neonatal death. Circulatory ...
My primary research focus is on ischemic injury and recovery mechanisms in perinatal hypoxia-ischemia. For the last seven years my research is aimed at elucidating the mechanisms of neuronal ...
The study was limited to infants with evidence of basal ganglia and thalamic (BGT) injury on MRI, a hallmark of acute perinatal hypoxia-ischemia. Severe BGT injury was highly predictive of severe ...
Perinatal and neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury occurs in two out of every 1,000 births in the U.S. and is a major cause that can lead to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and cerebral palsy.
