16. Inflammation in experimental neonatal brain injury and in a clinical study of preterm birth; involvement of galectin-3 and free radical formation
Abstract : Introduction; Intrauterine infection/inflammation is associated with preterm delivery (PTD) and severe neonatal morbidity. Inflammation is also important in the secondary neurotoxic cascade leading to perinatal brain injury. READ MORE

17. Inflammation, caffeine and adenosine in neonatal hypoxic ischemic brain injury
Abstract : Background: Brain injury during the neonatal period has potentially lifelong consequences for a child. Perinatal infections and inflammation can induce preterm birth and unfavorable cognitive development, Thus inflammation has received enthusiastic interest for potential therapeutic approaches seeking to protect the newborn brain.

18. Perinatal Staphylococcus epidermidis infection and the immature brain: a neuroinflammatory link
Abstract : Preterm birth and its associated complications are among the most serious global health issues that modern society faces. Due to the prolonged medical care and immature immune system, preterm infants have a higher susceptibility to infections, which puts them at a higher risk of developing neurological impairments as well as neurodevelopmental diseases.

19. Apoptotic mechanisms in the neonatal brain following hypoxia-ischemia
Abstract : Neonatal encephalopathy is often perinatally acquired and caused by hypoxia-ischemia (HI). Brain injury develops with a delay, over 12-48 hours, after the insult. Hypothermia, an established neuroprotective treatment, saves 1 infant in 9 from neurological deficits suggesting that there is room for further improvement. READ MORE

20. Apoptosis and inflammation regulation after injury to the developing brain
Abstract : The brain shows greater plasticity in early life than in maturity, which paradoxically renders the organ more vulnerable to hypoxia-ischemia (HI)- and cranial irradiation (IR)- induced damage. Apoptosis after a HI insult is more pronounced in the immature vs. READ MORE
