Early Magnetic Resonance Imaging Predicts 30-Month Outcomes after Therapeutic Hypothermia for Neonatal Encephalopathy.

Objective: To evaluate the association of therapeutic hypothermia with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and 30-month neurodevelopment in term neonatal encephalopathy.

Study Design: Cross-sectional analysis of 30-month neurodevelopment (IQR 19.0-31.

Effects of combination therapy using hypothermia and erythropoietin in a rat model of neonatal hypoxia-ischemia.

Background: Hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury to the developing brain remains a major cause of morbidity. Hypothermia is effective but does not provide complete neuroprotection, prompting a search for adjunctive therapies. Erythropoietin (Epo) has been shown to be beneficial in several models of neonatal HI.

Prandiology of Drosophila and the CAFE assay.

Studies of feeding behavior in genetically tractable invertebrate model systems have been limited by the lack of proper methodology. We introduce the Capillary Feeder (CAFE), a method allowing precise, real-time measurement of ingestion by individual or grouped fruit flies on the scale of minutes to days. Using this technique, we conducted the first quantitative analysis of prandial behavior in Drosophila melanogaster.
