4. 2. Neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy : inflammation and therapies

   Author : Elena Di Martino; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Neonatal hypoxic ischemia (HI) is a severe condition characterized by a complex pathophysiology. The lack of oxygen (hypoxia) and blood flow (ischemia) leads to neuronal cell death via necrosis and apoptosis, and a consequent post-ischemic inflammation. HI brain injury may lead to seizures, cognitive and motor impairments, and death. READ MORE

5. 3. The role of the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in inflammation and brain injury

   Author : Maria Hammarlund; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; inflammation; brain injury; CHRNA7; CHRFAM7A; stroke; hypoxia ischemia; neonatal encephalopathy; human; PBMC;

   Abstract : The alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7nAChR) are expressed in the nervous system as well as on peripheral immune cells where it participates in the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. Inflammation is a common component in the pathology of many diseases and injuries, including brain damage. READ MORE

6. 4. Birth asphyxia : Fetal scalp blood sampling and risk factors for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy

   Author : Lena Liljeström; Maria Jonsson; Anna-Karin Wikström; Ulf Högberg; Andreas Herbst; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : asphyxia; fetal scalp blood sampling; hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy; obstetric emergencies; operative deliveries for fetal distress; overweight; short stature; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Abstract : Preventing birth asphyxia is a major challenge in delivery care. The aims of this thesis were to evaluate fetal scalp blood sampling (FBS) and explore risk factors for moderate to severe neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). READ MORE
