Viral infection at birth linked to cerebral palsy
Exposure to certain viral infections shortly before and after birth (the perinatal period) is associated with cerebral palsy, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-01-06)
Children with cerebral palsy can look forward to improved quality of life
Dr Elise Davis and Professor Elizabeth Waters from Deakin's School of Health and Social Development have developed a world-first questionnaire aimed at determining if treatments for children with cerebral palsy improve their overall wellbeing, not just their mobility. view more (2006-11-16)
Alzheimer's gene raises newborns' cerebral palsy risk
Apolipoprotein E (APOE), a gene associated with heightened risk for Alzheimer's disease in adults, can also increase the likelihood that brain-injured newborns will develop cerebral palsy, researchers at Children's Memorial Research Center have discovered. view more (2007-02-05)
Common treatment to delay labor decreases preterm infants' risk for cerebral palsy
Intravenous magnesium sulfate supplementation before preterm delivery cuts the risk for handicapping cerebral palsy in half, according to research led by University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) obstetrician Dwight Rouse, M.D., and published in the Aug. 28 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2008-08-28)
Mild stress in the womb may worsen risk of cerebral palsy
hronic mild stress in pregnant mothers may increase the risk that their offspring will develop cerebral palsy-a group of neurological disorders marked by physical disability-according to new research in mice. The results may be the first to demonstrate such effects of stress on animals in the womb. view more (2007-07-11)
NO ADVANTAGE OF HIGH-PRESSURE OXYGEN FOR TREATING CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY (p 582)
Children with cerebral palsy are unlikely to benefit from treatment with high-pressure oxygen, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Cerebral palsy is characterised by disorders of movement and posture caused by a non-progressive injury to the immature brain; there is no known cure. Hyperbaric (high-pressure) oxygen has... view more... (2001-02-21)
IVF Children At Increased Risk Of Neurological Disorders (pp 459, 461)
A Swedish study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that children born after in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) could be at an increased risk of developing neurological problems, especially cerebral palsy. The authors conclude that a reduction in this risk is possible if only one embryo is transferred during IVF, reducing the likelihood of twin... view more... (2002-02-06)
MIT robotic therapy holds promise for cerebral palsy
Over the past few years, MIT engineers have successfully tested robotic devices to help stroke patients learn to control their arms and legs. Now, they're building on that work to help children with cerebral palsy. view more (2009-05-21)
Herpes virus link to complications in pregnancy
Researchers at Adelaide's Women's & Children's Hospital and the University of Adelaide, Australia, have made a world-first discovery that links viral infection with high blood pressure during pregnancy and pre-term birth. view more (2008-02-19)
Debate on administration of magnesium sulfate to pregnant women to prevent cerebral palsy in preterm infants
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most prevalent chronic childhood motor disability with an estimated lifetime cost of nearly $1 million per individual. view more (2009-06-30)
Study identifies factors correlated with cerebral palsy
Several factors, including maternal infection during pregnancy, very preterm birth, and certain findings on brain MRI scans were correlated with cerebral palsy. view more (2006-10-04)
Multiple corticosteroid injections in pregnant women may increase cerebral palsy
When pregnant women are at high risk for preterm birth, giving them a single injection of corticosteroids has been shown to reduce the baby's chances of having serious lung problems after birth. view more (2007-09-21)
New study explores the relationship between preterm birth and autism spectrum disorder
Recent studies have suggested that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be more prevalent among children born very prematurely. The early symptoms of ASD are also associated with other conditions related to preterm births, such as cerebral palsy, which can make it difficult to correctly screen children for ASD. view more (2009-01-29)
Stunning finding: Compounds protect against cerebral palsy
Two compounds developed by Northwestern University chemists have been shown to be effective in pre-clinical trials in protecting against cerebral palsy, a condition caused by neurodegeneration that affects body movement and muscle coordination. view more (2009-02-25)
New ultrasound technique for cerebral palsy diagnosis
CHILDREN with cerebral palsy are set to benefit from the first study of its kind in the UK. Cerebral Palsy (CP) is notoriously difficult to manage because of the different degrees of severity and clinical difficulties in assessing the results of treatment. One of the answers could be to use ultrasound scanning to visualize the damage to muscles... view more... (2003-09-17)
Adult stem cells aid recovery in animal model of cerebral palsy
Adult stem cell therapy quickly and significantly improves recovery of motor function in an animal model for the ischemic brain injury that occurs in about 10 percent of babies with cerebral palsy, researchers report. view more (2005-10-03)
Possible new compound for treatment of cerebral malaria
In a paper published online in PLoS Medicine researchers from Marseille describe the effects of a new compound that may be a future treatment for patients with cerebral malaria. view more (2005-08-23)
Resuscitation technique after brain injury may do more harm than good
The current standard practice of giving infants and children 100 percent oxygen to prevent brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation may actually inflict additional harm, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2008-07-01)
Blood clots may hold key to treating dementia
Spontaneous blood clots or debris from arterial disease in the brain (known as cerebral emboli) may hold the key to preventing or treating dementia, say researchers from the University of Manchester in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-04-28)
Popular herbal remedy fails effectiveness test for tinnitus
Researchers at the University of Birmingham identified 1,121 healthy people with tinnitus. 559 received 12 weeks treatment with Ginkgo biloba extract and 562 received a placebo. Tinnitus was assessed using several questionnaires - before treatment began, after 4 and 12 weeks of treatment, and 2 weeks after treatment ended. They found that Ginkgo... view more... (2001-01-10)
