PubMed Abstract of study to assess the relationship between intrapartum maternal fever and neonatal acidosis as risk factors for neonatal encephalopathy

PubMed abstract: Neonatal depression and birth asphyxia in the low birthweight neonate. In 392 low birthweight neonates, acidosis as evident from umbilical artery pH 7.1 or less was strongly associated with Apgar score 6 or lower at 1 minute. However, most cases that were depressed (Apgar score 6 or lower at 1 minute) were not acidotic. Neonatal depression was most strongly and directly correlated with gestational age. Neonatal depression and birth asphyxia are distinct entiti

PubMed Abstract of investigation to assess the effect of Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy in the treatment of children with Cerebral Palsy

PubMed Abstract of study to evaluate the effect of Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SRD) Surgery on functional abilities in a well-defined group of ambulatory children with Spastic Diplegia

PubMed Abstract - Sensory and motor deficits in children with cerebral palsy born preterm correlate with diffusion tensor imagine abnormalities in thalamocortical pathways. Cerebral palsy (CP) is frequently linked to white matter injury in children born preterm. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a powerful technique providing precise identification of white matter microstructure. We investigated the relationship between DTI-observed thalamocortical (posterior thalamic radiation) injury, motor (corticospinal tract) injury, and sensorimotor function.

National Library of Medicine - National Institute of Health - PubMed Abstract - Brain magnetic resonance imagine in suspected extrapyramidal cerebral palsy; observations in distinguishing genetic-metabolic from acquired causes

National Library of Medicine - National Institute of Health PubMed Abstract - Extrapyramidal cerebral palsy: a changing view - Earlier surveys of cerebal palsy characterized patients with extrapyramidal (choreoathetoid) cerebral palsy as having little cognitive impairment and few associated deficits. Anoxia, which has now replaced neonatal hyperbilirubinemia as a major cause of this type of cerebral palsy, predictably produces a diffuse type of brain damage.

PubMed Abstract of study to determine the association of hypotonia and depression in neonates at or near term with metabolic acidemia at birth (umbilical arterial pH<-12 mM).

PubMed Abstract of study to evaluate the role of the neonatal muscle hypotonia as an early indicative symptom of Cerebral Palsy (CP).

PubMed Abstract of study is to verify whether neurophysiological and communicative-relational aspects in hypotonic subjects can be recovered by psychomotor therapy.
