This website represents an inter-institute effort to convey, on an NIH wide basis, the research being conducted in the neurosciences

Abstract - CONTEXT: Chorioamnionitis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cerebral palsy, but most studies have not reported a significant association. Cystic periventricular leukomalacia (cPVL) is believed to be a precursor of cerebral palsy in preterm infants. OBJECTIVES of the study is to determine whether chorioamnionitis is associated with cerebral palsy or cPVL and to examine factors that may explain differences in study results.

The investigators have planned to perform a trial to study the effect of antioxidant supplementation on pain relief in patients with chronic pancreatitis.

Pancreatitis is caused by an acute injury on the pancreas. We have recently reported a high rate of acute pancreatitis developing in children who undergo posterior spinal fusion for scoliosis (to correct spinal curve). We showed that the amount of blood loss during the surgery is related to the incidence of pancreatitis

Study is designed to provide short term efficacy and safety data of TRI476 in children with inadequately-controlled partial seizures. The purpose of study is to confirm that TRI476 as adjunctive therapy is effective and safe.
