Filter by:A Cochrane systematic review has confirmed that fetal exposure to magnesium sulphate given before preterm birth has a neuroprotective role. This review also showed a significant reduction in the rate of gross motor dysfunction in early childhood. Early Preterm birth (< 34+0 weeks) and very low birthweight (< 1,500 g) are the principal risk factors for cerebral palsy. Multiple pregnancy accounts for over 10% of preterm births and has a higher incidence of cerebral palsy than singleton pregnancy (twins have 7 times and triplets 47 times the risk of cerebral palsy compared with singletons).
Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is an emerging non-invasive neuron regulation technique, which is widely used in neuropsychiatry for a variety of diseases and is widely accepted by patients due to its non-invasive, operable and relatively precise localization. Combining the results of previous studies and our group's previous research, sixty qualified PD patients would be enrolled to conduct a prospective single-center randomized double-blind sham controlled clinical trial to verify the long-term curative effects of iTBS treatment protocol and explore the neuron-protection of iTBS on neuronal loss of PD patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficiency of normobaric hyperoxia combined with endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke patients with stroke onset 6-24 hours.
The investigators have previous shown that regional hypothermia by the intra-arterial infusion of cold saline combined with mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke is feasible and safe. The safety of selective brain cooling in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy, however, is not established in a randomized trial. The investigators therefore conducted this RCT study to further explore the safety of regional hypothermia in patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy.
Neurodevelopmental impairment due to delayed brain development and brain injury is a fundamental problem in children with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD). Significant longterm motor-, cognitive-, and behavioral problems are the result of early postnatally and perioperatively induced brain injury. Allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, prevents the formation of toxic free oxygen radicals, thereby limiting hypoxia-reperfusion damage. Both animal and neonatal studies suggest that administration of allopurinol reduces hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, is cardioprotective, and safe. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of allopurinol administered early postnatally and perioperatively in children with a CCHD requiring cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
