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).

Clinical trial being sponsored by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development NICHD to evaluate whether induced whole-body hypothermia initiated between 6-24 hours of age and continued for 96 hours in infants ≥ 36 weeks gestational age with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy will reduce the incidence of death or disability at 18-24 months of age.
Study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (blood levels), pharmacodynamics (how the drug acts on the body), and the safety of rabeprazole sodium for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in new borns and pre-term infants (less than 44 weeks of age).
Study to obtain pharmacokinetic and safety data of bumetanide in newborns with refractory seizures. The overall hypothesis is that bumetanide, added to conventional antiepileptic (antiseizure) medications, will be a safe and well tolerated medication, compared with conventional antiepileptic drugs alone.
