Article Synopsis
- Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy primarily impacts low- and middle-income countries, with therapeutic hypothermia often proving ineffective, highlighting a need for earlier treatment strategies.
- A study involved administering perinatal caffeine to near-term lambs undergoing severe hypoxia-ischemia, assessing its pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy in improving outcomes.
- Caffeine administration enhanced neurodevelopmental results and decreased inflammation and gray matter damage, suggesting it could be a viable treatment for affected neonates compared to previous studies on other medications.
Hemorrhagic shock is a major source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While whole blood or blood product transfusion is a first-line treatment, maintaining robust supplies presents significant logistical challenges, particularly in austere environments. OMX is a novel nonhemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen carrier derived from the H-NOX (heme-nitric oxide/oxygen binding) protein family.

Therapeutic hypothermia is not effective in this setting, possibly because injury occurs significantly before birth.

Methods: This retrospective longitudinal study investigated records of 33 healthy children. Dental casts, lateral cephalograms, and photographs were evaluated at pretreatment (T0), posttreatment (T1), and 3-5 years into retention (T2).
