Special issue of NeuroRehabilitation focuses on hypoxic-ischemic brain injuries
IOS Press announces publication of a special issue of NeuroRehabilitation: An International Journal (NRE) devoted specifically to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HI-BI), a significant disruption of brain function due to a deficient supply of oxygen to the brain. view more (2010-02-23)
New tool tracks brain development in babies
Researchers have used a new technique to monitor brain development in infants and detect disturbances in white matter, according to a study in the July issue of Radiology. view more (2006-06-27)
Experimental treatment halts hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in newborns
Inhibiting an enzyme in the brains of newborns suffering from oxygen and blood flow deprivation stops a type of brain damage that is a leading cause of cerebral palsy, mental retardation and death, according to researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. view more (2009-07-29)
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)
Pomegranate juice for moms may help babies resist brain injury
Expectant mothers at risk of premature birth may want to consider drinking pomegranate juice to help their babies resist brain injuries from low oxygen and reduced blood flow, a new mouse study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests. view more (2005-06-28)
Cool therapy reduces brain injury and death from oxygen loss in newborns
Infants born with oxygen loss who are given an innovative therapy that lowers their entire body temperature by four degrees within the first six hours of life, have a better chance of survival and lower incidence of brain injury. view more (2005-10-14)
Oxygen deprived brains repaired and saved
Scientists from Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have found special proteins that protect the brain after it has been damaged by a lack of oxygen, which occurs in conditions such as stroke, perinatal asphyxia, near-drowning and traumatic brain injury. view more (2006-08-25)
A rare case of ischemic colitis caused by chronic venous insufficiency
Ischemic injury to the bowel is a well known disease entity that has a wide spectrum of pathological and clinical findings. A sudden drop in the colonic blood supply is key to its development. view more (2008-05-21)
University of Kent bioscientists receive grant to research novel cancer treatment
Dr Phil Blower and Dr Dan Lloyd from the Department of Biosciences at the University of Kent - together with Dr Paul Marsden at the St Thomas' Hospital Clinical PET Centre in London - have been awarded £347,906 from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the Medical Research Council for a project entitled Radiocopper... view more...

Stem cells decrease ischemic injury and restore brain function
This is the impressive result of a study carried out by a group of researchers coordinated by Dr. Maria Grazia De Simoni of the Mario Negri Institute in Milan, Italy in cooperation with the Istituto Neurologico Besta (Milan) and the University of Lausanne. view more (2007-04-18)
Jury still out over risks of heading a soccer ball
Heading the ball in soccer is unlikely to cause brain injury but head to head collisions might, says a leading sports physician in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-08-12)
New groundbreaking treatment for oxygen-deprived newborns
Until now immediate cooling of the newborn infant was the only treatment that could possibly prevent brain damage following oxygen deprivation during delivery. view more (2009-08-11)
Scientists Probe Genetics Of Brain Vulnerability
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are investigating why people with a specific genetic makeup are more likely to develop brain disease and less likely to make a good recovery from head injury. The study has important implications for those with the particular brain protein who choose to take part in potentially dangerous contact sports... view more... (2003-01-10)
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)
Many patients who resume driving after head injury may not be fit to drive
Many patients who return to driving after traumatic brain injury report problems which can significantly affect their ability to drive, finds a study in Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. During a two and a half year period, 563 adults with traumatic brain injury were referred to one of 10 rehabilitation units in England. Patients... view more... (2001-05-30)
Interventions can Improve Lifespan in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
A recent study using 2,467 patients with established coronary artery disease concluded that when medical facilities select interventional methods to lower cholesterol they experience improved morbidity and mortality in patients with Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) - the leading cause of death in theUS. view more (2004-11-10)
Stroke therapy window might be extended past nine hours for some
Some patients who suffer a stroke as a result of a blockage in an artery in the brain may benefit from a clot-busting drug nine or more hours after the onset of symptoms. The findings are published in the online edition of Radiology. view more (2009-02-09)
Inhibition of GRK2 is protective against acute cardiac stress injuries
Inhibition of a protein known to contribute to heart failure also appears to be protective of the heart in more acute cardiac stress injury, namely ischemia reperfusion. view more (2009-11-18)
Drug linked to increase in brain hemorrhage cases
The rate of brain hemorrhages associated with blood thinning drugs quintupled during the 1990s, according to a study published in the January 9, 2007, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. In people over age 80, the rate increased more than tenfold. view more (2007-01-09)
Myelin suppresses plasticity in the mature brain
Yale School of Medicine researchers report in Science this week genetic evidence for the hypothesis that myelination, or formation of a protective sheath around a nerve fiber, consolidates neural circuitry by suppressing plasticity in the mature brain. view more (2005-09-30)
