Background: Hypoglycaemia is the most common metabolic problem in neonates but there
is no universally accepted threshold for safe blood glucose concentrations due to …

Glucose is the key metabolic substrate for tissue energy production. In the perinatal period
the mother supplies glucose to the fetus and for most of the gestational period the normal …

Importance Hypoglycemia is common during neonatal transition and may cause permanent
neurological impairment, but optimal intervention thresholds are unknown. Objective To test …

Background Neonatal hypoglycemia is common and can cause neurologic impairment, but
evidence supporting thresholds for intervention is limited. Methods We performed a …

Neuroimaging is widely used to aid in the diagnosis and clinical management of neonates
with neonatal encephalopathy (NE). Yet, despite widespread use clinically, there are few …

BACKGROUND: Each year approximately 10million babies do not breathe immediately at
birth, of which about 6million require basic neonatal resuscitation. The major burden is in …

Preterm infants are at increased risk of alterations in brain structure and connectivity, and
subsequent neurocognitive impairment. Breast milk may be more advantageous than …

Neonatal encephalopathy is a clinical syndrome of neurologic dysfunction that
encompasses a broad spectrum of symptoms and severity, from mild irritability and feeding …

Maintenance of glucose homeostasis via initiation of glucose production is one of the critical
physiological events that results in a smooth transition and adaptation to extrauterine life. A …

Enormous progress has been made in assessing the neonatal brain, using magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). In this review, we will describe the use of MRI and proton …
